Speech From The Throne
1:50 p.m.
Réal Ménard Hochelaga—Maisonneuve, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to make two comments. The difference between the NDP and the Bloc Quebecois is that we believe in intellectual property. We know that if pharmaceuticals make $800 million investments, we agree with the 20 year patent protection, but we say that it should not be more than 20 years.
My seatmate, the critic for industry, also agrees that we should stop the abuse by pharmaceuticals, but never in the way that the NDP would like, which is by providing no intellectual property. We believe that any research deserves to be rewarded and protected. We want the patents to end after the 20 year period. This is what the health critic and the industry critic say.

Mr. Speaker, I am interested in one of the statements made by the member opposite. He said that seniors' poverty has never been more acute in this country. We have watched recent events with the government imploding over the fact that it has virtually stolen money out of the pockets of taxpayers of millions and millions of dollars.
I find it hard to put it into perspective how government members can say that seniors' poverty has never been more acute, yet they just steal some of their money, give it to some of their buddies and pound it back into the Liberal Party's coffers. If they were so darn concerned about seniors' poverty, perhaps they should not have stolen from--

Speech From The Throne

Réal Ménard Hochelaga—Maisonneuve, QC
Mr. Speaker, I agree with our colleague's statement. Of course, this group of patronage people who are in the government seats has not always served the interests of Canadians and Quebeckers.
My colleague from Champlain led a praiseworthy campaign to ensure that the guaranteed income supplement would go to the elderly. It is ironic, to say the least, that a Liberal member would rise in the House to talk about poverty among the elderly, when 68,000 Canadians were deprived of the money they were entitled to. And they are being refused payments retroactive to 1994.
In this House, the person who defended the elderly is my colleague, the member for Champlain.
Eel Fishery
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Charles Caccia Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, according to scientists, the latest victim of overfishing in Lake Ontario is the commercial eel fishery.
Forty years ago, there were 30 eels per hectare in the inshore waters of Lake Ontario. Now there is only one eel for every 5.6 hectares. Furthermore, at the height of the commercial fishery in 1980, about 225 tonnes were caught per year. Now the annual catch in Lake Ontario is less than 10 tonnes.
As with northern cod, overharvesting hastened the depletion of eel stocks. Habitat destruction, dams, seaweed harvesting, invasive species and water pollution: altogether they have taken their toll.
Therefore, as a matter of urgency, provincial, state, and federal governments should adopt the scientists' recommendations aimed at taking immediate protective action of the depleted eel stocks before it is too late.
Auto Theft

Canadian Alliance
Chuck Cadman Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, my City of Surrey, although it is a wonderful place to live and work, unfortunately has the dubious distinction of being a North American leader in auto crime. While joyriding youth contribute to the problem, criminals stealing cars to commit other crimes are a major factor.
The typical Surrey car thief is a drug addicted adult male with multiple prior convictions. They steal vehicles, preferably SUVs, for personal transportation and for use in drug trafficking, home invasions and drive-by shootings, among other crimes.
The city plans a number of measures to reduce auto thefts, including bike patrols and a bait car program to bolster current efforts. However, liberal laws and lenient courts allow B.C.'s estimated 300 car thieves to commit up to 90% of thefts each year. There is rarely jail time even for multiple convictions, no deterrence, and no incentive to stop stealing.
On Wednesday, a public forum will be held at the Surrey Arts Centre to discuss the facts and the measures everyone can take to protect their property. I urge the citizens of Surrey to attend this event and become part of the solution to auto crime in our city.
Foreign Affairs
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Peter Adams Peterborough, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise to report concerns in my riding about Canada's involvement in the ballistic missile defence system. As there is still widespread public misunderstanding about this matter and about Canada's possible participation in it, I have supported the idea of a debate in the House so that decisions can be made with full public involvement.
One of the concerns my constituents voice is that the establishment of such a system encourages nuclear proliferation around the world. However, if a system is to be put in place by the United States alone, would we be better or worse off?
I urged the Minister of National Defence to bring this matter to the House in a special debate. I am delighted that there will be such a debate this very week.
Government Contracts
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Guy St-Julien Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik, QC
Mr. Speaker, in June 2003, as a Liberal member of Parliament, I tabled a question in the House concerning sponsorship programs so that the people of Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik could find out the answer today.
I have received an answer from the House of Commons which reads as follows:
The amounts shown represent the amounts committed, including the commissions paid to the coordinating agency—3%— and to the communications agencies—12%—for the events approved before May 27, 2002.
Here is an example: the Liberal riding of Abitibi—Baie-James—Nunavik received only $65,000 under this program, while the riding of the leader of the Bloc Quebecois, the hon. member for Laurier—Sainte-Marie, received over $5 million. Is that what they call a parallel culture for those in the Bloc Quebecois, who received 500 times more in sponsorships than the remote regions?

Mr. Speaker, it would be so hard for this Prime Minister not to have seen the unfolding of the advertising scandal in Quebec. It would be kind of like not noticing a three tonne pink elephant in the middle of the living room.
Consider that to pull off this scam required the cooperation of people in the offices of cabinet ministers, crown corporations, the federal public service, four ad agencies and the Liberal Party. That is a lot of people who had to stay quiet over a four year period.
One letter said that Liberal Party activists had been talking about possible criminal activity in the sponsorship program in the fall of 2001. The letter was sent to our current Prime Minister in February 2002, but he just cannot remember it. Despite its allusion to criminal activity, no one in his office thought to call the police.
Oh, yes, and remember too, Mr. Speaker, that he was also vice-chair of the Treasury Board, which had responsibility for spending oversight, and a Quebec cabinet minister who had even employed one of the notorious ad firms in his first leadership bid back in 1990.
All this proves is that we can lead a minister to this scandal but we cannot make him look.
Algoma Steel
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Carmen Provenzano Sault Ste. Marie, ON
Mr. Speaker, there are not many good news stories in the Canadian steel industry. However, I am happy to report to the House that Algoma Steel Inc., which was recently restructured with the help of $50 million in loan guarantees from the federal government, is just that: a good news story.
The largest employer in the Soo, Algoma Steel Inc. reported this month a net income of $10.1 million for the three months ending December 31, 2003, or 33¢ per share. Algoma Steel is now on its way to sustained profitability.
On another high note, the share value of Algoma Steel on the Toronto Stock Exchange has grown to more than eight times its share value in June 2003. This latest financial news for Algoma has uplifted the spirits of our community, which is grateful for our government's participation in the restructuring of Sault Ste. Marie's main economic engine.
I would like to congratulate the board of directors for Algoma Steel Inc., its president, Denis Turcotte, and all of Algoma's employees for this amazing turn of events at one of Canada's largest steelmakers.
National Flag Day
Statements By Members
February 16th, 2004 / 2 p.m.
Sarkis Assadourian Brampton Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, National Flag Day provides all Canadians with an opportunity to reflect on this great nation.
On February 15, my constituents in Brampton Centre joined millions of fellow Canadians across every region as they paid homage to the colours of our flag and celebrated what our flag represents to us.
With their drawings of our flag, poems about our flag, and posters, paintings and skits all dedicated to the celebration of the Canadian maple leaf, the children in the schools in my riding exhibited the greatest enthusiasm toward our national flag.
I wish to extend congratulations to tomorrow's leaders for showing their patriotism toward the flag and also to all Canadians who took the time to honour our flag and, by doing so, honour Canada and Canadians.
Statements By Members

Pauline Picard Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, the federal government's withdrawal from health care funding, the aging population, the increasing costs of health care in our hospitals, and the fiscal imbalance all threaten the very existence of the universal health care system.
Luckily, there are still men and women in our communities who are concerned with the quality of life of their fellow citizens.
Today, I would like to acknowledge a significant financial contribution of $100,000 from the Cascades company so that the Hôtel-Dieu d'Arthabaska can continue to serve its population.
I salute the initiative of the President and Chief Executive Officer of Cascades, Alain Lemaire, and the participation of all the people at Cascades, and remind the House that improvements in the effectiveness of the health system are also dependent on effective funding.
Economic Development
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Gilbert Barrette Témiscamingue, QC
Mr. Speaker, on February 5, I attended the opening of a vine tomato production complex at the Serres coopératives de Guyenne in Abitibi-Témiscamingue.
I saw for myself the significant impact the Softwood Industry and Community Economic Adjustment Initiative had on this rural community.
With innovative technology, this cooperative will offer a new product, expand its market and provide jobs in this region that has been affected by the softwood lumber crisis.
Members of the cooperative told me personally that without the support of this program, they would not have been able to carry out this project. They also commented on the efficiency of the staff at Economic Development Canada.
I would like to thank my government and the minister responsible for Industry Canada and Economic Development Canada for supporting structuring projects in rural communities.
Heart and Stroke Month
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Progressive Conservative
Greg Thompson New Brunswick Southwest, NB
Mr. Speaker, this month is Heart and Stroke Month. The Heart and Stroke Foundation warns that fat is the new tobacco. Although smoking rates have dropped by half during the last three decades, we are still not out of the woods with this killer.
But now, overweight and obesity are on the rise. Obesity and smoking, when combined, are a double-barrelled threat, shortening people's lives by years and costing billions of dollars.
All three levels of government must support strategies to encourage healthy living, such as urban planning that supports recreational activity, quality daily physical education in all of our schools and, most important, a public health system that has the resources to address overweight and obesity and the prevention of chronic diseases.
Let us as Canadians work together to improve our lifestyles.
Aiden Doiron
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Wayne Easter Malpeque, PE
Mr. Speaker, I rise to say a few words about Aiden Doiron of North Rustico, who passed away recently as the result of an accident.
Aiden was well known and respected in the fishery and throughout Atlantic communities. In the 1950s, he had the foresight to start a deep sea fishing business that has proved successful to this day, providing not only an economy for the area but an education and a great experience for those tourists and locals fortunate enough to fish from his boats.
When the local fish co-op shut down, it was he who supported the local fishermen by buying and selling their product. If one wanted fresh fish or lobster, Doiron's was the place to be.
With his vast knowledge of the fishing industry, he was the voice of experience. When he spoke, we on the political side ought to be listening.
An avid sportsman, particularly fond of snowmobiling, Aiden was foremost a family man who loved so much to spend quality time with his family.
On behalf of all members, I wish to extend my condolences and pay my respects to his wife Beverley and his family.

- About Us
- Investors
- Our Business
- Renewable Energy
- Sustainability
The Sundance power plant is the largest coal-fired electrical generating facility in western Canada, with six generating units. The plant is located 70 kilometers west of Edmonton, Alberta on the south shore of Wabamun Lake.
Plants are designed for optimal efficiency – meaning the highest production and lowest emissions and costs possible. As they age, efficiency can be improved through uprates, which involve updates to technology and replacement of older components such as steam turbines. The improved energy conversion that results from an uprate typically results in lower emissions per megawatt hour and greater production.
An uprate usually occurs only once in a plant's life. To date, four of Sundance's six units have been uprated.
A 53-megawatt uprate to Sundance 5 was completed in 2009 at a cost of $75 million. Additionally, a 44-megawatt uprate was completed on Sundance 6 in 2001 and a 53-megawatt uprate on Sundance 4 in 2007.
In May 2015, TransAlta completed a 15-megawatt uprate on Sundance 3.
Our Sundance 5 plant was the location of a mercury control test in 2006, to assess technologies to meet the Alberta government's goal of reducing mercury emissions by 70 per cent. The test, conducted in conjunction with General Electric, had an overall capture rate of 70 per cent and has subsequently undergone a longer term test at our Keephills facility.

Learn to run by effort, not distance

Illustration by Jeremy Duncan
Some of us runners like to calculate things. We like splits, our average mile pace and measurements down to the fraction of a mile. We are always trying to outdo ourselves and notch another accomplishment on our training totem poles.
While these numbers can be excellent tools for measuring progress, tracking and quantifying them becomes elusive on trails with varying terrain and elevation. This can be a hard concept for a newly christened trail runner to choke down, especially if you come from a training background based on pure mileage. Bulldoze past this obstacle by forgetting about distance, and base your run on effort.
Kirk Keller of Keller Coaching (www.kellercoaching.com), a USATF certified running coach in Three Forks, Montana, stresses his concept of "TRT" (total run time) to trail newbies. "It's important for runners to readjust expectations," says Keller. "You cannot transfer the same measurements to the trail that you would use around the 400-meter track or pavement."
To do this, Keller suggests dissecting the trail you intend to run. This involves understanding the type of terrain you might encounter—is it in the mountains, flat, packed trail or a heavily forested, hilly and root-covered trail? Then, determine your objective for that run—is it an easy recovery run, race-pace workout or long run? All these factors help determine your TRT, which will vary depending on the trail you choose. (See Transferring Your Road Miles to Trail Time).

Victorian and avant-garde style funky updo
The hair roll is utilized in this avant-garde take on the Victorian look. Straight, white blonde hair is divided into three sections. Everything is then brought up on top of the head, nothing left down. Long rolls are created from each of the sections, and placed side by side, forehead-to-back. The center roll is a bit elevated, sitting on the two rolls to either side. A few strands over the forehead are loosened from the rolls, but otherwise, the updo is neat and well-defined.

Support playground
To the Journal editor:
I have been watching the Presque Isle Park Advisory Committee's work to develop an inclusive playground at Presque Isle Park. What a great idea to build a playground at our family-oriented park which all children can use and enjoy regardless of their abilities.
After many public meetings and completion of a required consultant's analysis, a site has been selected that is between the Island Store and the Moosewood Nature Center. There is plenty of parking there but away from heavy traffic, has trees to shade the playground and enhance the natural setting, is close to the Island Store, Bog Walk, accessible restrooms and, most importantly, right next to Moosewood Nature Center.
The playground will attract kids who will then see the opportunities at Moosewood, and Moosewood participants can see and use the playground. This would be a wonderful complement to a family centered area.
The PIPAC plan also includes local fundraising and grant applications to fund the playground, something I would be happy to contribute to. I believe that this playground at the already developed part of Presque Isle will provide a uniquely inclusive opportunity that all kids can use and enjoy.
I believe that Marquette residents should enthusiastically support this project for our children.

3 Things You Should Know About Small Business: Dec. 10
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- What's happening in small business today?
1. The Pope is on Twitter, are you? One week after the Vatican announced that Pope Benedict XVI joined Twitter, more than 600,000 followers are waiting for the pontiff's first Tweet, expected on Dec. 12 (12/12/12).
The Pope's Twitter handle is @pontifex, a term that means "bridge builder" in Latin, according to The New York Times .
In his first series of tweets, Benedict is expected to answer questions about matters of faith, now being accepted via the hashtag #askpontifex.
"The pope's presence on Twitter can be seen as the 'tip of the iceberg' that is the church's presence in the world of new media," the Vatican said in a statement, according to the Times.
Wired takes a look at some of the best questions followers have already asked, including "life's more pressing issues like what will happen on Breaking Bad ?"
2. Small businesses want grants, not loans, to help rebuild after Sandy. Taking on debt is one of the last things that small-business owners want to take on after a natural disaster destroys their business in an already challenging economy, but so far almost all of the recovery money being offered is in the form of loans (albeit with very low interest rates), The Daily Herald reports.
After the Sept. 11 attacks and Hurricane Katrina, it was grants that saved many small businesses from failing. However, in the weeks following Superstorm Sandy, grant money has been scarce.
The money is particularly needed by cash-flow-dependent small businesses without large reserves.
New York City has announced $5.5 million in grants for small businesses from two not-for-profit organizations -- the Mayor's Fund to Advance New York City and the Partnership for New York City.
Other smaller grants are being doled out by various nonprofit groups, fundraising activity and even from one of the utilities serving New York City, the article says.
But considering the damage estimate for homes and businesses was put at $19 billion in New York City alone, the grant money won't go far.
On a positive note, National Grid is granting small businesses on Staten Island and in Brooklyn and Queens up to $250,000, part of a $30 million program that will also give grants to homeowners and other residential customers, the article says.
"These are for customers who have to make a big decision, do they reopen or shut down," Ken Daly, president of National Grid-New York, told the Daily Herald .
3. Franchisee hiring may halt if tax rates are extended. According to the International Franchise Association's annual Franchise Business Leader Survey, 79% of franchisees and 73% of franchisors believe failure by Congress to extend current tax rates will stall hiring and slow growth.

Topic: Help: Rails instances shutting down - to little RAM?
I have 5 Rails instances (5 different applications) running on the same Virtual Private Server (VPS). Once in a while (~1 time a week), one of them goes down and needs to be restarted (restarts without issues).
I suspect it might be a RAM issue. I have 256 MB in my VPS right now, and currently 192 MB is used.
Do you think it's RAM, or is it something else that could cause this behavior?

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (282 votes).
In short: Well organised event.In full: As I live in Norwich had to do it. Its not flat more undulating. Glad it did not rain this year as this brought out the crowds which is nice. Id stick to the March date! I had no trouble with the car park. Not sure about the bag with the leaflets in given out at the end I would ditch that idea any maybe give the t shirt away instead!Date of review: March 19, 2011
In short: A really good race but there does need to be a serious review on car parking some people ran the half marathon faster than it took us to get out of the car park.Date of review: March 16, 2011
In short: Best organised race I've seen (out of a fair few), both for runners and supporters. Great atmosphere, and the two loop format was much better than expected - a good crowd booster half way. Undulating rather than flat, but still pretty fast course. In full: Notice several people complaining about problems getting out of the car park afterwards... Was fine when we left, but there was a surprising amount of traffic coming the other way off the A47 and Dereham Road - so expect this caused the congestion rather than bad management on behalf of the organisers.Date of review: March 16, 2011
In short: Enjoyable race made better by a PBIn full: A good race even though I'm not too keen on running laps. The car park needs looking into for next year. The word shambles comes to mind.Date of review: March 15, 2011
In short: Great race, get's better each yearIn full: Fantastically well supported race and the atmosphere this year was superb. The good weather obvioulsy brought out many people to come and watch.Completely disagree with those who say this is not a PB course. This is about as flat as you will get for 13 miles, there is one hill and that is a gentle incline long. I've run 11 half marathons and my quickest two times are around this (new) courseDate of review: March 15, 2011
In short: So-So, race. But it's not in the 'City,' -- it's on the outskirts.Date of review: March 14, 2011
In short: great race, great atmosphere and funDate of review: March 14, 2011
In short: my first half marathon and enjoyed the day and was pleased with my timeDate of review: March 14, 2011
In short: Nice flat run through the Norfolk countryside (& showground)In full: I thought this was a great race and was pleasantly surprised by the amount of support from poeple in the hamlets we went through and in the showground. I'm from Sheffield so the inclines didn't really bother me although they made the last couple of miles a challenge! I got a PB so I wouldn't rule out getting a PB here (just make sure you do some hill training and you'll be right!)The organisation was good for the race itself but leaving the car park was shocking - we waited ages and had 2 toddlers in the back of the car :(Date of review: March 14, 2011
In short: first time half-mara for me but defo do it again. found the hill gruelling the second time and the course is absolutely not flat..then again i am from swamp country! aDate of review: March 14, 2011

More:Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon Overview | Media Note
The U.S. Department of State, the George W. Bush Institute, the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), Susan G. Komen for the Cure, and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) today announced Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon, an innovative partnership to leverage public and private investment in global health to combat cervical and breast cancer -- two of the leading causes of cancer death in women - in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.
Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon will expand the availability of vital cervical cancer screening and treatment and breast care education -- especially for women most at risk of getting cervical cancer in developing nations because they are HIV-positive.
The partnership will leverage the platform and resources of PEPFAR -- established under President Bush and a cornerstone of President Obama's Global Health Initiative (GHI) -- and will draw from lessons learned in the significant scale-up of HIV services in recent years.
During the announcement, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said:
"...One of the most powerful and effective ways of saving lives is by improving women's and particularly mothers' health.
"We have a wealth of data, and we saw personal testimonials in that wonderful video. But if we want to make progress on some of the toughest challenges we face in global health -- fighting HIV, preventing childhood deaths, improving nutrition, stopping malaria, and more -- then investing in women must be at the top of the agenda.
"It starts with the central role that women play in the family and in the community. I'm often struck by how hard women in the developing world work every single day. It's a woman who is responsible for fetching water and fuel. It's a woman who is the majority of the farmers who provide the subsistence, back-breaking labor for growing and harvesting food. It's women who have to figure out how to clothe their children, provide those school fees, and yes, make sure that health is taken care of. It's women who walk with a sick child miles to the nearest medical clinic. And if that woman herself gets sick or dies, then the family support system breaks down, and everyone who relies on her also suffers.
"Studies show too that if a mother dies, the newborn is far more likely to die as well. But if a mother can stay healthy, then the converse is true: her children are likely to be healthy, and they will stay in school longer and they will earn a higher income when they grow up. An analysis published in the Lancet found that half the reduction in child mortality between 1970 and 1990 can be attributed to higher rates of education for women.
"So the conclusion is clear that if we want to make a difference when it comes to investing in health, then we must invest in women. And historically, women's health has been chronically underfunded, so that means that we have the opportunity to tap a resource that we've been missing out on. And it's why in the Global Health Initiative that President Obama launched in 2009 we've placed a very high priority on women's health.
"We're building on the efforts of the Bush Administration and PEPFAR and the Malaria Initiative. We're stepping up our efforts on maternal and child health by increasing the number of trained and equipped caregivers; strengthening obstetric facilities; providing nutrition, antenatal care, vaccines, access to family planning; and investing in innovative technologies.
"And in particular with respect to HIV, we recognize HIV/AIDS has become a woman's disease. In the developing world, our prevention efforts therefore have to focus on women. And our innovations in prevention and treatment have to also give women the tools to protect themselves.
"We're increasing our investments to help pregnant women living with HIV avoid passing the virus on to their unborn children. And we're taking on the related issue of gender-based violence. It is a cause of transmission that gets, I think, far too little attention.
"Women are on the front lines in our efforts to provide greater nutrition to their children. The 1,000 days from pregnancy to birth are critical in making sure a child is healthy. That's why the essential nutrients, the vitamins, the fortified foods to pregnant women and babies in some of the most remote areas of the world will pay off.
"As we emphasize women's health, then we have to make sure that we make it as easy as possible for women to access these services. And I appreciate President Bush mentioning that we've invested -- the American people have invested -- in a terrific system. The PEPFAR clinics are there. They're a reminder that the American people care about the health of the people of Africa and elsewhere.
"But we want to make sure that when a person, particularly a woman, goes to that clinic, she can get other services as well. She might need prenatal care. She might need vaccines for her children. And it used to be very difficult to do that because the way that we had set up our system made it more likely than not that you would go for HIV treatment one place and then you'd have to go somewhere else for prenatal care. That's just not practical in many places. So part of what this new initiative will do is to emphasize the importance of trying to create one-stop shops, so to speak -- clinics that offer a range of services under one roof.
"And so PEPFAR and the State Department are very excited about joining this Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon Partnership. And as we aim at the goal of reducing cervical cancer deaths among women, we hope that we will see results very quickly. As President Bush said, we see results from the President's Initiative on Malaria. We want to see results equally from this effort to reduce deaths from cervical cancer.
"Our partners from both the public and the private sector will help us raise awareness about breast cancer and cervical cancer, will help make screening more available, HPV vaccines more available and affordable, and advocate for effective policies within the countries that we serve."

Take one step inside, and you'll instantly understand the "Mecox look": bright blues, preppy greens, ikat prints, pops of pink—essentially a colorful vintage Palm Beach. Offering a mix of re-edition and antiques, Mecox focuses on aesthetic, rather than a particular decade or style. You'll also discover newer gift items like candles, matches, cocktail napkins and stacks of coffee table books. Our favorite finds: the real coral dispersed throughout the store—each piece is $125, no matter the size—and the Christopher Spitzmiller glazed lamps, which are also found in the White House and Oprah Winfrey's home.

Hillcrest Collections
Originally from Locust Valley, New York, Hillcrest features important decorative antiques from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries, and some more-current pieces, as well. The lighting fixtures are particularly exquisite. In addition to the European antiques, there are some amazing Chinese items.
3725 S. Dixie Highway, 561-833-1980
Belle and Maxwell's
Naturally, walking the Row stirs up an appetite. There isn't a more comforting place to rest your feet than Belle and Maxwell's. Fitting right in with the neighbors, this charming eatery is decorated with antique furnishings, objets and art, most of which are for sale. Belle and Maxwell's serves specialty tea (hot and cold), bistro fare and an assortment of homemade treats, served on pretty china—just like having Sunday afternoon tea at Grandma's.
3700 S. Dixie Highway, 561-832-4449
Floral Emporium
Next to Mecox, the Floral Emporium overflows with permanent floral arrangements and maintains a lush outdoor garden in the back of both stores. The floral displays are stunning, whether you're looking for oversized, unique or detailed, but they're especially breathtaking during the holidays, when trees are trimmed with dazzling ornaments and centerpieces exude a magical, festive spirit.

It's Eclectic | Cashmere Buffalo
There are all sorts of finds—from fine to fun—on the Row. Vintage and consignment clothing boutiques, textile purveyors and this-and-that shops share space with international antique dealers—and it all works. The Row is one of our favorite places to source vintage ethnic jewelry. We especially love Cashmere Buffalo for eclectic treasures, vintage fabrics and Iris Apfel-style ethnic baubles.

The Patch is recommended if customsers use CUBRID Web Manager for remote database connection.
CUBRID Manager Server (CMS) is a server-side component which communicates with CUBRID Manager (CM) and CUBRID Web Manager(CWM). CMS is a sub-system of CUBRID engine package and works independently from CUBRID engine and Broker processes. It provides both HTTP and socket interface to manage and monitor CUBRID Engine for almost all needs which can be thought of.
Refer to 2013-08-01 CUBRID Manager Server Patch document to see the steps to apply this patch.
You can download patch binaries from http://ftp.cubrid.org/CUBRID_Tools/CUBRID_Manager_Server/8.4.3/ and http://ftp.cubrid.org/CUBRID_Tools/CUBRID_Manager_Server/9.1.0/ for your CUBRID version.
Today the CUBRID Tools Team updated CM Server to fix several security issues found in CMS version 8.4.3.0035 and earlier, and 9.1.0.0021 and earlier. Information about these flaws can be found on CUBRID JIRA Issue Tracker pages listed below:
The CUBRID Tools Team has rated this update as having important security impact.
This patch upgrades CMS to version 8.4.3.0036 or 9.1.0.0022.
All CUBRID users who have CMS installed should apply these patches, which correct these issues. After installing this update, the CMS service should be restarted manually.
The issue was found by KCCSecurity, and reported by KISA(Korean Internet & Security Agency)
1. Versions: CUBRID Web Manager (CWM) 9.1.0 Linux, Windows
2. Condition: (1) CMServer Host user log-in -> (2) Database user log-in -> (3) Import
3. Cause of Vulnerability: Web Manager uses an absolute path when uploading a file to the database server(in export/import APIs).

Topic: Subtracting DATETIME's in a :condition statement?
I want to be able to search for clients in a MySQL table whose information hasn't been updated for an arbitrary amount of time, ranging from days to weeks. Is it possible to do something along the lines of
Client.find :all, :conditions => "(CURRENT_DATETIME() - clients.modified_at) > #{30.days}"
Is this ludicrous, or is there a better way to do it (like adding another method onto 30.days in order to get it into a format MySQL can read?)

On March 21, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton hosted a celebration for the 10th anniversary of the U.S.-Afghan Women's Council at the Department of State, with special guest Mrs. Laura Bush, in appreciation for the work and ongoing dedication of the Council's members to support the women and girls of Afghanistan. Afghan Foreign Minister Zalmay Rassoul also participated, with other U.S. and foreign dignitaries.
Founded by U.S. President George W. Bush and Afghan President Hamid Karzai in 2002, the U.S.-Afghan Women's Council connects the U.S. Government, the Afghan Government, the private sector, academia, and non-governmental organizations to identify needs and to develop and implement initiatives in support of Afghan women and girls. Since 2009, Secretary Clinton and the State Department continue the work of the Council, now housed at Georgetown University. Georgetown University President John J. DeGioia serves as co-chair of the U.S.-Afghan Women's Council with Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women's Issues, Melanne Verveer. Mrs. Bush, an honorary advisor, continues to play a supporting role.
The Council mobilizes public and private sector resources to support Afghan women socially, politically and economically. Its bipartisan members are leaders in government, the private sector, and philanthropy who have taken on initiatives to advance opportunities for Afghan women and girls in the specific areas of literacy and education, entrepreneurship, political leadership, humanitarian relief, and health care.

New Ulm settles fatal crash case for $570,000
NEW ULM, Minn. (AP) – The city of New Ulm has agreed to pay $570,000 to family members of two people killed when a police car crashed into their vehicle two years ago.
The Mankato Free Press reported that the city's insurer has paid the money to family members of 82-year-old Myra Meyer and her 60-year-old son, Brian Wichmann. The two were killed July 8, 2011, when Officer Mathew Rasmussen crashed into their vehicle while chasing a speeding suspect.
The case went to a Brown County grand jury in January 2012. It returned a "no-bill,"or no indictment against Rasmussen.
Steven Collins, the Redwood County Attorney acting as special prosecutor, said the grand jury considered a number of felony and misdemeanor criminal counts, but issued a "no-bill" on each count. As a result, there were no criminal charges filed against Rasmussen, The Journal of New Ulm reported in January 2012.
Grand jury proceedings are confidential.
Subsequently, Meyer's three other children sued him and the city, claiming he was negligent because he was traveling at least 70 mph in a 30 mph zone and did not have his emergency lights or siren activated.
The settlement was finalized in May, The Journal reported. Details were not disclosed at that time. The settlement includes no admission of wrongdoing.
At the time of the settlement, an attorney for New Ulm and Rasmussen was mounting a defense that placed blame on Meyer. Meyer's insurance company agreed to pay $100,000 as part of the mediated settlement – bringing the total settlement to $670,000.
Peter Riley, an attorney for the family, said Meyer's surviving children don't believe she was at fault, and the payment from the city speaks for itself.
"The plain fact of the matter is they are not making this payment other than they admit (they're at fault)," Riley said. He said an investigation by his firm showed Rasmussen was disciplined.
But New Ulm Police Chief Myron Wieland disagreed that the settlement is an admission of fault. He declined to comment on any discipline.
Rasmussen told investigators from the State Patrol that he left the emergency lights on while pursuing the speeding vehicle, and the lights went off when his squad car lost power due to the crash. But the squad video camera, which shows 29 seconds of footage before the collision, gives no indication that emergency lights were on. Several witnesses also said emergency lights were not activated.
Dana Wichmann, 59, of Waseca, is one of Meyer's children. He has started a website, hoping that authorities will be investigated for how the crash was handled.
"I don't believe justice has been served," Wichmann said. "I think it's some cowboy cop and they're trying to cover it up. … It's nice to have money, but I'd rather have truth and justice."
Wichmann has been critical of the New Ulm Police Department because he felt Rasmussen should have been disciplined by the department. He recently told a reporter for The Journal that he believes his mother performed no wrong action in the accident.
He established the website myra-brian.com/ to air his complaints and his further accusations against NUPD.

U.S. Women's Press Kit for Pan American Cup
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (July 1, 2011) - The U.S. Women's National Team defeated Peru 25-20, 25-14, 25-14 Friday afternoon to open the X Women's Pan American Cup being held July 1-9 at Juarez, Mexico.
The U.S. Women's National Team continues Pool B competition on July 2 at 8 p.m. with a match against Puerto Rico on July 2 at 8 p.m. The Americans will face Trinidad & Tobago on July 3 at 6 p.m. and Costa Rica on July 4 at 8 p.m. The U.S. closes out pool play against Brazil, the top-ranked team in the world, on July 5 at 8 p.m. All Pool B matches will be played at the Universidad Autonoma de Cuidad Juarez or UACJ (www.uacj.mx).
Team USA held a 16-8 margin during the opening set and held on to win 25-20. The Americans scored the final seven points of the second set to win 25-14 after Peru remained within striking distance for much of the set. The U.S. dominated the last part of the third set breaking an 11-all tie to go on to a 25-14 victory.
"It was no surprise that Peru gave us challenge, but we were more consistent," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said.
In unofficial DataVolley stats, Nicole Fawcett (Zanesfield, Ohio) led the Americans with 12 points via 11 kills on 22 attacks and a block. Foluke Akinradewo (Plantation, Fla.) charted eight kills on 13 errorless attempts to go along with a match-high three blocks. Jordan Larson (Hooper, Neb.) chipped in seven kills and a block, while Megan Hodge (Durham, N.C.) scored all seven of her points in the first set via six kills on 10 attacks and a block.
Kim Glass (Lancaster, Pa.) pocketed five kills on 10 errorless attacks with the Americans' only ace for six points. Jen Tamas (Milpitas, Calif.) added four kills on eight errorless attacks with a block. Alisha Glass (Leland, Mich.) recorded two kills on two attempts and a block, while Nancy Metcalf (Hull, Iowa) rounded out the scoring with a kill.
"I'm proud of my team," said Tamas, who is serving as the team captain. "It was difficult to adjust to the air in the gym, but we just had to stick to the basics: serve and pass, and it all went well."
Nicole Davis (Stockton, Calif.) and Larson each tallied eight digs each as the Americans held a 32-24 margin in the category.
McCutcheon started Tamas and Akinradewo at middle blocker, Larson and Hodge at outside hitter, Fawcett opposite and Alisha Glass at setter. Davis was the libero for the match. Kim Glass replaced Hodge in the second and third sets. Nellie Spicer (Barrington, Ill.) and Metcalf were subs in the third set.
The U.S. converted 50 percent of its attacks into kills with a .409 hitting efficiency (44-8-88). The Americans out-blocked Peru 8-6 as both teams served an ace. Peru converted just 29 percent of its attacks for points and managed a .081 hitting efficiency. Team USA passed at a 65 positive percent on 40 service receptions.
Carla Ortiz led Peru with eight points, followed by seven points each from Patricia Soto and Yulissa Zamudio Ore.
Earlier today in Pool B, Puerto Rico topped Costa Rica 25-10, 25-13, 25-21 and Brazil defeated Trinidad & Tobago 25-15, 25-12, 25-18. In Pool A, Cuba rallied to defeat Argentina 27-29, 25-19, 25-13, 25-20 and Dominican Republic handled Canada 25-23, 25-15, 25-13. After the opening ceremonies later tonight, host Mexico will face Pan American Cup newcomer Chile.
The U.S. broke a 3-all tie in the opening set with a 5-1 scoring to take an 8-4 advantage at the first technical timeout. Hodge provided the Americans three of their first eight points of the set, while Akinradewo added two more on kills. Team USA reached the second technical timeout with a 16-8 margin after Akinradewo and Hodge powered down two consecutive kills. Peru closed the gap to five points at 18-12 leading to an American timeout. Team USA responded and did not allow Peru any closer than 23-18 in closing the set at 25-19.
The Americans pushed to an 8-5 lead at the second set's first technical timeout with a 4-1 scoring run. By the second technical timeout, the U.S. margin reached five points at 16-11 as Fawcett collected three kills in the middle stages of the set. Peru closed the deficit to 17-14, only to have Team USA score eight unanswered points to close out the set 25-14. Larson provided three kills and a block in the scoring run, while Glass added a kill and ace to start the spurt.
Fawcett and Kim Glass knocked down consecutive points to give the Americans a 6-4 advantage in the third set, only to have Peru battle back to tie the set at 7-all and go in the lead at 9-8. A Fawcett kill after Peru service error returned the U.S. in front 10-9. The U.S. went on a 3-0 run with kills from Akinradewo and Kim Glass followed by a Tamas block to push the lead to 14-11. The U.S. scored 10 of the final 11 points of the set as Akinradewo provided two kills and a block, Larson and Tamas scored two kills each and Metcalf ended the match with kill at 25-14.

Skip to comments.6 Home Defense Carbines, 5 are NOT ARs
Posted on 12/26/2012 7:00:26 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Lets talk home defense.
First things first, shotguns are devastatingly powerful. Nothing can compare to the 12 gauge at close range. Even birdshot, which is still one mass of moving lead at close range, will tear a human to shreds. In my battery I have a Remington 870 and a bandoleer of slugs and buck ready to go for when the SHTF. You dont lose much with a 20 gauge at close range either and you gain some agility with a smaller gun, and more family members are likely to respond better to the 20.
The second point Id like to make is on handguns for home defense. Shoot the biggest cartridge you can handle.
Hi-Point Carbine
This is the least expensive gun on the list with a suggested retail price of $285. You can get them in 9mm, .40 S&W and .45 ACP. The added barrel length as a rule of thumb will add 300 feet per second making even a 9mm a good stopper and even better with +P loads. The specs on this gun make it a good home defense choice; 16.5 barrel, length 31 and it weighs 6.25 lbs. Now here is the rub, some folks flat out hate these guns. Others love them. Im indifferent right now because I dont have a lot of range time to make up my mind but that will change because my neighbor just got one...
(Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
Comments on one of these threads is guaranteed.
The best gun is the one you have when you need it. As long as it goes bang then it will be a game changer. Nobody wants to be shot with even a .22
For the home I prefer a 12 guage or a .45 but I found some tests which found the 5.56 round had the least penetration through sheetrock walls. It only went through 3 simulated walls.
I am interested in the Hi Point carbine in .45 cal. I would appreciate any range reports from current owners.
I don't have anything with which to defend myself. Come on in...
I've had the C9 9mm pistol for some time now and think it's probably the best value for the money out there. Can't afford the carbine at this time.
12ga/45 is safe bet. I like how the first two listed were my favorite rugers.
454 Casull = too much recoil
HiPoint carbine - I'd go with the 45ACP
AR - be sure to have something like Hornady TAP ammo or maybe some frangible ammo for inside the house.
And please tell me where I can get an AR for $650.
I think I'd opt for an old, honestly-used lever gun in .44 or .357 rather than a highpoint. JMO.
Not recommended for apartment dwellers...
I could tell you where but that's not the problem. The problem is when. Do you have ready access to a time travel machine?
Keep your eye out for an old Marlin camp carbine in .45acp.
No frangible! Frangible is for shooting steel and breaking up. Drywall is not harder than the cartridge. It will tear through your home and your neighbor's home.
#4 Buckshot in a 12/20 gauge shotgun with a light or 45/40/9 in handgun with a light.
Wal-Mart, until Sandy Hook happened. Had some really nice ones.
If I know someone is in the house, I'm with the Saiga 12 at the top of the stairs as wife calls 911 holding her 870. If I have to investigate, I'm taking my M&P .45 and light. A rifle and shotgun can't corner/quarter as well and are easier to grab by bad guy hiding.
I thought frangible was what air marshals used. Or are they using something like Glaser safety slugs?
How well does a polymer reciver stand up? Glocks, Rugers, Springfields seem to do OK. I don't know.
Anything that won't penetrate the plane won't do a reliable job on a person. The airplane skin is very thin.
I don't know what Air Marshall's use but puncturing the side of a plane with a bunch of bullets won't take it down. That only happens in Hollywood.
Thanks for the post. I carry a .38 and my wife has a .22 mag for her purse and wants something bigger. (She fired a .357 mag at the range and loved it.) All we really have for home defense is a Winchester Defender 1300 and I'm rethinking what will be needed when times get weird(er).
Cash talks in da hood.
Throw in a Mini-14 and 30. Nice little guns for any real purpose out there.
Good post, and good advice.
I've got a double-barrel 20 gauge shotgun (w/ two triggers), a 30.06 with scope, a Russian AK (semi), a 22 squirrel rifle, a 357 S&W, and some other miscellaneous handguns. Everybody in the family can be shooting away at any invading Obama Democrat locusts who venture onto my property when the SHTF.
I would like to get a couple more high-powered rifles w/ scopes, though, just to be sure.
Were they printed?
Carbine for the house? OH GOSH YES! I suggest a Rossi, not a Puma, for the money value. The Puma line are near Browning Hi Power cost, whereas, a Rossi will not break you. They make them in most revolver calibers, and even .44-40. I read a report, that stated a carbine in 16-inch barrel lentgth, (I believe it was on CHUCKHAWKS.COM), is the optimal length of a barrel for a .357 Magnum chambering. Any longer a barrel, and the 'law of diminishing returns' kicks in, and we don't need that. Yes, folks do suggest mostly 158-grain loads, but for home defense, for me, I employ 125-grain loads. Remember, too, a 16-inch .357 magnum carbine weighs less than five pounds. That read-about .357 magnum 'oomph' has to go somewhere when that bullet leaves the barrel, and your shoulder is where it is going. You will feel the difference in the grain weight loads.
Here is what my 20th Century 'jaeger rifle' looks like, complete with John Wayne large lever loop:
No scopes, no hooded sights. I have ordered, and emplaced a leather 'butt cuff' like this one:
(Won't the liberals have fun with trying to regulate a handmade piece of leather, huh?)
And like the author, yes - the rifle can chamber both .357 Magnum and .38 Special, in that order, I prefer to feed this little beastie only factory 125-grain .357 Magnum loads. I was told that particular round is good on all things, feral.
So, enjoy life, get one of these little beasties, get the other leather to go with it - someone out there makes a muzzle cap, too - and for the full experience, get a pair of 'mechanics' style gloves at your hardware dealer in desert tan. (Shooting a lever action with a good set of gloves will save your hand.)
Have fun, learning how to guard hearth and home, like our pioneering forefathers did in The Great West. Besides, this particular carbine is in no way shape or fashion anything close to an "Evil Battle Rifle", or E.B.R!!!
Happy New Year to all the Freepers!
Long live the Republic!
I forgot one thing .... everything the author recommends, except the lever action, is A SEMI-AUTOMATIC OPERATING RIFLE!!! Duh!
I'll see your 9mm (Browning hi power mkIII), and raise you a Sw Model 10/15.
After shooting both a MkII and MKIII, with: non-limp-wristed FTF/FTE's caused by factory ammo and magazine failures to keep slide back after last shot, with the seconds necessary to whether tap-rack=bang, or tap-drop-rack-slap-rack-bang, I do not believe that semi-automatic pistol machinery, in any caliber, can equate to the relaese of a nice lead 158 grain solid semiwadcutter, with each trigger pull on a four-inch barreled .38 Special revolver. I've watched intently every 9mm load fired through the 'FBI-standardized' four layers of denim placed in front of Simtest ballistic gelatin test material, only to see it fail to operate as designed. Solid semiwadcutters, which are not hollow point bullet deisgns, do not clog, nor fail to 'petalize'.
What made me consider this load? I made a visit to the Fed pen in another part of the state, on a nice clear fall day, where the business office was located 75 yards from 'the workout cage'. The weights being lifted by, and the girths of, these 'refrigerator perrys' helped me make that decision.
And while I'm rambling, the 5.56 in pistol configuration with two or three 30 round Pmags makes a nice surprise if a gaggle of feral ver4min show up at your home, uninvited.
A .22 to the head is usually a game changer as it likes to ricochet around the inside of the skull.Also remember you only want to deal with the situation in your home, not your neighbors. Pick the gun and caliber for your surroundings.
For clearing the house we rely on Mr. Mossberg 500 tactical.
For clearing the house we rely on Mr. Mossberg 500 tactical.
Tell that to the Marine Corps which is changing over from the 9mm to the .45 cal. Semper Fi.
Ruger 10/22 with a Ruger brand 25 round magazine, er, I mean clip, and a 2-7x or 4x quality rimfire scope. Want to carry 500 rds of something other than .22LR? Not me thanks.
I like a handgun with a laser. Yes, I think it is difficult to hit a moving target with a handgun and be moving yourself and a laser makes the task easier.
Mine is one of these in .45 ACP.
"....and 9mm is easy to get."
Walmart was out of 9mm this afternoon and so were other stores.
What's going on?
I guess 'easy' to get. I usually don't get all of my ammo from Wally world. I suspect its simple supply and demand as of now. Or perhaps, Walmart is slowly turning away from guns and ammo in the future? I know they took down their AR's from online pretty quickly after the Conn. shooting.
Most caliber wars are fought for the pleasure of the participants. I don't own any semi-automatic handguns. I shoot revolvers because I enjoy them more, and a defensive gun ought to be one you don't have to think about. I've never felt undergunned in the night with my 7-shot 686+, or even my 6-shot single action guns.
All that said, the 9mm is a fine round and the guns that use it have a proven track record. I may carry a 5-shot J-frame, but 15+ rounds of 9mm is nothing to sneeze at. And the ammo is about the cheapest ammo you can buy commercially. That encourages lots of shooting...
The one time I've pulled a gun, it was a 22 that I happened to be carrying with me while hiking that day. I had probably shot 10,000+ rounds thru it, and I suspect part of the reason the 8 guys stopped trying to surround me was that there was something in my body language that said, "I won't miss!" The familiarity of a fine gun in your hand that you've shot a few thousand times is a wonderful thing if you need to make 5 or even 15 shots get the job done.
The article is wrong about needing the largest caliber pistol to stop an assialant... Serious studies of real shootings have show that an accurate shot with a lower caliber is just as likely to take down the bad guy. And - as the author pointed out with shotguns - a 20 ga. shotgun would be better handled of many people (smaller stature, less strong, etc.) and yet not lose much knock down at relatively close range versus a 12 ga....
The best defense caliber is one that does not cause the shooter to close their eyes, flinch or hesitate... Few people are accurate shooters in a sudden unexpected terrifying situation - adrenaling pumping, frightened, etc. So having many smaller caliber rounds - means in case of 9mm up to 14 rounds in a Browning HighPower... vs about 1/2 in a powerful .45 ir 357. I think any gun that hits where it is pointed by an average person because the recoil did not knock his/her arm and head back is the best most reliable defense. There is power in numbers... Note: .22 cal. killed Robert Kennedy and nearly killed Reagan ...
Good choice. My Dad used one in RVN. I have a 'Maverick' for the safety on the trigger guard, and an AT top-folding stock.
I believe if Martha Stewart recommended a 'Home for the Holidays' firearm, she would go for the boom-stick.
I have the Hi-Point 40 S&W and love it and when my alarm went off recently it came in very hand as I checked things out. I love the thing and it is like carrying a M-14 or M-16.
I have a Marlin Camp Carbine in 9 mm and love it.
Whats going on?
My local Wall Mart has been out of 9mm since last Friday plus a bunch of other cals.
Looks like they haven't restocked since Friday.
As a postscript, the 12 gauge has four times the muzzle energy of a .44 magnum, so 'candycane' slugs with 00 and you're loaded for bear.

I'll start
Not the most fancy piece of code up at the moment, but at least you get to see how much dual screen rocks. The Textmate window is also usually a bit less large, I don't like working with maximized windows.
I used to have two screens when I was on a PC but since switching to the mac I've been happy with one 24" screen and my Windows machine nearby for various windowsy tasks
I work with dual screens at work in Ubuntu. Used to run Aptana but now am favouring NetBeans (which hasn't crashed once yet!). Usually I have the code on the LCD screen and then whatever I'm working on (web browser/console) on the left window.

I used to work with Visual Studio several months ago, but now as I finally switched to the OS X environment, I am using TextMate now.
I think I also have to mention FireFox and it's precious extension, FireBug as well. Web developers' best friend.
This is a recent screenshot, pls take a quick look:
TextMate color theme is custom/self made.

it looks a lot like railscast theme/from some user on this forum.
Do you mind sharing it with us ?
Sure, originally it was started from the one which is being used in the Railscasts videos, I just modified (improved?) it to fit my taste.
Glad you like it
And of course if you want to use it, here you go:
eclips3.media (ECLM) TextMate Theme
Thanks !
My development Environment, just two.
Vim and JEdit. on a SUSE 10.1 machine with three monitors at home. (Three monitors = lots of vim shells). KNoda for my database viewing.
Vim is brilliant but I find JEdit more use when dealing with a lot of views

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (409 votes).
In short: A race you'll remember long after the aches and pains have goneIn full: Organisation is second to none. The marshalls are friendly, the people at the drinks stations are encouraging, as are the spectators around the course, but particularly at the finish. The weather was excellent (how did they manage that ?). The other runners were friendly. The runners doing their 10th and final marathon with us in 10 days were just amazing. It's not a PB course but it's certainly on of the best races you'll ever do.Date of review: May 21, 2012
In short: One race everyone should enter.In full: The summary says it all, you have to give this race a go. It has everything, wonderful organisation, friendly people, the wonderful views of lakeland, closed roads and the inspirational 10-in-10ers. My only tip to the first timers (as I was in 2011) is listen to the other posters/training guides and hold something back for the final inclines. I got carried away at halfway and at mile 20 I was reduced to a shuffling obstacle to the other runners!! Steer clear of the pitfalls and this will be the perfect race.Date of review: January 3, 2012
In short: Amazingly beautiful run, not for the faint-hearted!In full: For my first marathon, it was exactly what I wanted. I've done long runs before, so I didn't want a flat easy course, I wanted a challenge, and the hills certainly were that! Like I said above, it's not for the faint-hearted, so if you're looking at a first time marathon, and want to ease yourself into them, this is not for you. However, the scenery and views, especially over the hill just after mile 16, make this a must-run for anybody physically able.Date of review: May 31, 2011
In short: Very well organised but I'm sure the hills have got steeper since 2007Date of review: May 31, 2011
In short: I am so lucky to live and run in this part of the world.Date of review: May 30, 2011
In short: Brings new meaning to hilly!In full: Fantastic marathon that was superbly organised but it was my first marathon in over 8 years, and I only started running again in January so challenging was an understatement. But it was fantastic and I feel I may now be addicted to Kendal mint cake!!The 10 in 10ers was amazing and an inspiration.... maybe one day!Date of review: May 27, 2011
In full: one of the toughest ,most beautiful , best organised races you could do . One look at the scenery even at the most painful moments pulls you through ! Thank you brathay - see you next year for a fourth attempt at sub 3.15 !!Date of review: May 27, 2011
In short: My third time and it justs get better!Date of review: May 26, 2011
In short: Wonder-mere!!In full: I knew I'd fall in love with this event. I could see from the YouTube video's how well organised and personal the event seemed. I was under no illusions it was going to be tough though.It was everything and more than I expected! 100% organisation, can't fault anything at all. The crowds were very uplifting especially the one's in the village pubs and at popular places like Newby Bridge. Even the Cumbria Police were cheering us on!The hills really do wear you down; I thought I got my tactics right but didn't. My advice to myself and to anyone is to "hang back" till after the hill on 21 then see what you have left. It's the 2nd worst hill on the course but not too bad thereafter. I burned out by 21 and ran on nothing for over 5 miles. Shown my determination and character though.I made a weekend of it too so had a fabulous time in Ambleside / Waterhead taking in pasta and the local scenery. Also; do alot of general and hill training and expect the worst (from the course) and you'll be fine. The rest of it will be taken care of for you :)I also as an added bonus met the legendary Steve Edwards while I was there too and he gave great advice, a true genetleman.Couldn't wish for any more, I'm sure I'll be be back next year. If not then defo very soon.Well done Brathay!!! :)Date of review: May 26, 2011
In short: beautiful, best organised, great atmosphere - best in the countryIn full: Everything about this race is fabulous. A location from heaven, wonderful course if tough in places, so much fun and happiness round the route, encouraging marshalls, loads to do and see at Brathay - an all in a great cause to help Brathay in its work with disadvantaged young people.
