The library community has always recognized and valued the power of cooperation. By sharing knowledge, services and resources, libraries expand their impact and create more value for their users. OCLC programs for groups and consortia increase opportunities for groups to support their members with research, training and services that streamline the technical challenges of sharing resources between libraries.
Share your print collection to expand your library
Librarians at Drake University and Grand View University wanted to decrease the number of seldom-used titles on their shelves to create room for expanding the collection and for student collaboration space. They worked with librarians nearby at Central College, Grinnell College and Simpson College to form the Central Iowa – Collaborative Collections Initiative (CI-CCI) and developed a shared print collection.
Improve results for all libraries in your group, big and small
The LIBROS consortium in New Mexico includes academic and special libraries that vary widely in size, purpose and scope. The group wanted to find a way to share a common management system while still allowing individual libraries to have more autonomy and local control. The solution they found meets the needs of the larger institutions without overwhelming the smaller ones.
Collaborate at the state level on professional development
Library staff members must keep their skills current to face the evolving needs of library users. But managing staff training can be expensive, inconvenient and difficult to get off the ground. WebJunction® partners with state libraries and other service agencies to provide cost-effective training and staff development programs that are convenient to access and easy to manage.
Improve online discovery for consortium members
The Alberta Library, a consortium of 49 public, university, college, technical institute and special libraries, wanted to connect users to its resources from the online sites and tools they already use. Access to a global library catalog and syndication partners, such as Google, Goodreads and DOGObooks, helped make that possible.
Read The Alberta Library's story
Collaborate to reduce costs and get to your 'wish list'
The Private Academic Library Network of Indiana (PALNI), an academic library group providing library automation services to 23 institutions, was looking to change to a new library management system. They made "radical collaboration" across collections, processes and staff expertise a priority.
Share resources to expand outreach and preservation opportunities
Many Montana libraries are geographically remote. They often face technical isolation as well. Working with public, academic and special libraries and branches, the Montana State Library's Group Services initiative has pooled resources to help each library accomplish amazing things and to provide better access to the world's information.

They are sick
no,they are just plain evil
Islamist Islamist Islamist Islamist Islamist . Vile filthy murdering Islamist.She's proud she murdered 8 children.
The frightening thing is that she isn't some religious nut. Their so-called holy books tell them to do such things. It's the embodiment of evil.
These people are brainwashed by hate, and yet we are supposed to give them a state. Will we call it Hate State? The more we give in to hate the more it spreads. Appeasement doesn't work.
What a sick b*tch!
Of all the Muslims the Fakestinians are the worst- but his woman gives truth to the fact that Muslims do worship of god of death. And Israel- why no death penalty for this trash? Why allow her out to be made into a hero? when she got to Gaza she was honored- Muslims love murderers of children…………………
Unless and until this type news is broadcast regularly, the typical American will not understand what they are up against. Question; why was it altogether acceptable to show the Viet Nam war on T.V. and not this?
Americans are being brain washed to think this is just a few of them. They all read and go by the same quran. They state their purpose to kill all that do not conform to their way. what don't people understand about what they theirselves say and you see it being done daily!
islam is nothing but learned sociopathy.
oh and I forgot – islam is learned sociopathy while they make it hole-y, oh er I mean holy.
sand into glass-it's the only way to be sure
Might yet come to that!
She's quite the speciman, ain't she…?
Yep..start at Mecca…(neutron bombs are best)…move to Medina. then Ryad…then continue till the whole region is a rotting ruin…but get the Jews out first, then let them go back in when all is clear and turn the whole region into a stable, sane place with no more islam…EVER!!!
The Jews ain't perfect, but by Jesus, they're for the most part, decent people.
And no other group of people on this planet can come close to the collective insanity of muslim's…It will come to a war, I'm certain.
It just struck me while I was reading a book about islamism that islam is the ONLY RELIGION which preaches violence. Take a moment to let that sink in. Only mohammad's god allah preaches VIOLENCE. Kinda like a warning on a coffee cup stating the contents are hot. Obvious but how many people pay attention?
Kurwa jebana !!!!!!!!!!! fuck muzlim !!!!!!!!!!!!!
RE; !!!!!!!!!!! fuck muzlim !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah Balkans… U can take village-man from the Balkan but U can't take Balkan from a village-man. It is scary that people of this kind are coming to our country. The best place would be Australian NSW State Apparently it is dumping ground for criminals all over the world. They say that NSW is the most corrupt state in the world. Everything decent is leaving country permanently. The bad Guys are taking over.
Balkans? Learn you Geogrphy! They are talking about middle Eas! Yes there are Muslims in Balkan, but not Islamist with Jihad in theit mind. Australia? What twisted ideas you have? What are you reading or listening to ?
Greta what are u a doctor of? I hope your native language is not English- BALKANIZATION is a term not necessarily describing a geographic area but a state of social deterioration. As in Muslims populate an area then make demands then secede with Democratic USA admin help.
And yes Bosnians do indeed have Jihadists- ones who have made assassination and bomb attempts (see Nato: suitcase nukes) here in USA and ones who taught the Egyptians how to have a A Springtime for Hitler. Other Bosnians are harboring, hosting , helping Al Qaeda. I think you should take your own advice: catch up on your reading and vocabulary
[…] If the Islamic broad looks familiar, maybe you saw this post Muslim Woman Smiles When Told She Managed To Murder 8 Children! […]

Star of Military Valour
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Leon Benoit Vegreville—Wainwright, AB
Mr. Speaker, on Monday, Sergeant Patrick Tower, who served at CFB Wainwright, will become one of the first ever recipients of Canada's Star of Military Valour.
In true soldier fashion, Sergeant Tower insists that he was just doing his job when he led two of his comrades through 150 metres of enemy fire to help a group of Canadian soldiers who were pinned down and had suffered heavy casualities.
Later that day Sergeant Tower learned that four soldiers, including his best friend, were killed during the battle. His courage and selfless devotion to duty figured significantly in the survival of the remaining platoon members.
A soldier since the age of 17, Sergeant Tower is proud of his troops, his country and his mission and he humbly points to those who did not come home as the true heroes.
However, when heroes do manage to come home, like Sergeant Tower, it is a privilege to recognize and thank them for their service to Canada, to peace and to democracy, and I am humbled to do so today.
Thanks and well done Sergeant Tower.

Roger Valley Kenora, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize the Making Kenora Home organization. Mike Aiken, Nan Norman, Selen Alpay and the Harbour Town Centre have worked tireless to bring awareness to the poverty issues in the Kenora area.
This week has been deemed Poverty Week in Kenora, where individual community organizations and businesses have come together to raise money and educate about poverty and homelessness.
Yesterday marked the Wear Red for Poverty Awareness Day, where people all over the city wore red to make the statement that we must find solutions to help these people who are living with these challenges.
I congratulate the Making Kenora Home organization for its efforts and I applaud everyone who participated in these events.

André Bellavance Richmond—Arthabaska, QC
Mr. Speaker, it gives me pleasure today to welcome Michaël Boissonneault, the winner of the first "MP for a Day" contest for political science students at the Cégep de Victoriaville.
As part of the Canada-Quebec politics course, participants were asked to examine Quebec's traditional demands vis-à-vis the federal government. Michaël submitted the best presentation on this topic, taking care to give equal weight to all demands.
This non-partisan contest is intended to encourage young people to consider a career in politics and helps make them aware of the realities of parliamentary life, as well as enhancing the image of politicians and politics in general, all the while, of course, leaving young people to form their own opinions.
I would like to thank Jean-François Léonard, professor of political science and geography at the Cégep de Victoriaville, with whom I launched this contest. I also want to thank la Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste du Centre-du-Québec and La Capitale Centre-du-Québec for their contributions to a scholarship of $550, which was awarded to Michaël, a young man with a promising future.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate two extraordinary individuals from my riding. Colin Angus and Julie Wafaei have been awarded the National Geographic 2006 Adventurer of the Year Award for their two year human powered world circumnavigation.The team used zero emissions travel to highlight issues of global warming and to inspire others to use non-motorized transportation.
Colin and Julie completed the expedition last May, 720 days of travel. Colin travelled 43,000 kilometres by rowboat, bicycle, canoe, ski and on foot, a journey that voyaged across three continents, two oceans and seventeen countries.
Julie travelled with him for most of that expedition, including rowing 10,000 kilometres unsupported across the Atlantic Ocean, making her the first woman to row across the Atlantic from mainland to mainland and the first Canadian woman to row across any ocean.
Congratulations Colin and Julie on receiving this award and on highlighting the issue of climate change.

Jim Abbott Kootenay—Columbia, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Oscar nominee, Ms. Torill Kove. Born and raised in Norway, Ms. Kove moved to Canada in 1982.
The Danish Poet, Torill's latest film, is a co-production by the National Film Board and Norway's MikroFilm. It is Miss Kove's second Oscar nomination and the 69th nomination for the National Film Board of Canada. This week the film won a Genie for best animated short film.
Torill's first professional film, My Grandmother Ironed the King's Shirts, co-produced by the National Film Board of Canada and Studio Magica of Oslo, won numerous international awards and was nominated for an Oscar as well.
Other Canadian Oscar nominees are: Ryan Gosling, best actor; Paul Haggis, best original screenplay; Paul Massey for sound mixing; and Water, a film by Canadian filmmaker Deepa Mehta as best foreign film.
Congratulations and good luck on Oscar night.
Ocean Ranger

Scott Simms Bonavista—Gander—Grand Falls—Windsor, NL
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate a sad anniversary.
Twenty-five years ago today, 84 lives were lost at sea after the Ocean Ranger capsized in the icy waters of the North Atlantic. February 15, 1982, will be a day long remembered by all Canadians and particularly by Newfoundlands and Labradorians as this happened on the southern Grand Banks just off our coast.
Tragedies at seas are not something new to my province. Newfoundlanders and Labradorians for over 500 years have been making a living from the resources of the ocean. The Ocean Ranger tragedy and the men whose lives were lost on that fateful night will be forever etched in our memory.
By remembering those who lost their lives, we honour both their courage and their families' pain. In the wake of this tragedy, advances in technology and training have helped us reduce the risks taken by those who venture into our oceans, but there will always be danger and there will always be brave men and women willing to meet it.
I invite my colleagues to honour the crew of the Ocean Ranger with our thoughts and prayers and to pledge vigilance for those who today follow their passion and seek their livelihood on the high seas.

Mr. Speaker, 25 years ago today, the people of Newfoundland and Labrador and Canada were awakened to the tragic news of the worst offshore accident in Canadian history.
In the early hours on February 15, 1982, during a major storm that brought 100 knot winds and 65 foot waves, the offshore drilling rig the Ocean Ranger sank beneath the waves. All 84 crew members lost their lives that fateful morning and the families and friends and communities of our province were changed forever. It was indeed a dark, sombre day in the history of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Today we stand in the House, from coast to coast to coast, and remember those brave pioneers of our oil and gas industry and express our sympathies and prayers to the loved ones who were left behind. Brave men is what they were, those who faced the icy winds, knowing as they left those sheltered coves that they may never return again.
May their souls rest in peace.
Maher Arar and Monia Mazigh
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Marcel Lussier Brossard—La Prairie, QC
Mr. Speaker, yesterday, Quebeckers and Canadians of the Muslim faith or of Arab origin reaffirmed their commitment to creating a better society by contributing to its sociocultural and economic development.
The community paid tribute to Maher Arar and to his wife, Monia Mazigh, as part of a parliamentary evening to recognize their struggle to obtain justice and reparation from the Government of Canada.
In recent years, a number of disturbing events have created situations that we can unfortunately associate with terms such as "Islamophobia" or "Arabophobia." The members of the Arab and Muslim communities of Quebec and Canada declare their firm resolve to promote peace and to contribute to building a society based on the values of solidarity and social, economic and cultural prosperity.
The Bloc Québécois joins with the Muslim and Arab communities in paying tribute to Maher Arar and to Monia Mazigh.
Liberal Party of Canada
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Mike Lake Edmonton—Mill Woods—Beaumont, AB
Mr. Speaker, recent actions by the Liberal Party have Canadians questioning Liberal motives: 261 days wasted by the Liberal dominated Senate on a bill limiting Senate terms, a principle the Liberal leaders stated his agreement with; continued obstruction of common sense crime legislation that the Liberals claimed to support during the last election campaign; and now an extremely disconcerting turnabout on the Anti-terrorism Act, a move that has been questioned by prominent Liberals like Anne McLellan, John Manley and even their current human rights critic.
The Liberal Party, in its desperation, has developed a strategy not of principled opposition but of obstruction and confusion. It is like a streaker at a sporting event, running around in no particular direction with no purpose other than to distract the public from the action on the field, drawing attention to itself with no awareness of its own glaring inadequacies.
I am a little nervous about taking this analogy any further, so I will conclude by pleading with the Liberal members to stop flopping around and start cooperating, at least on the issues that they have professed to support.
Quebec Federation of Labour

Mario Silva Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Fédération des travailleurs du Québec, or FTQ, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this week.
Since its creation in 1957 under the impetus of Gustave Francq, it has been and remains today the largest labour union in Quebec. The FTQ has always defended the rights of individual workers fighting for social justice, in the interest of promoting the values that we are proud to share.
I am delighted to stand behind this progressive organization and its 500,000 members. Together, we will continue to defend the social, economic, cultural and political rights of workers in Quebec, who contribute to the prosperity and dynamic nature of our economy.
As the official labour critic, and on behalf of the Leader of the Opposition and the Liberal Party of Canada, I would like to congratulate the FTQ and its president, Henri Massé, on reaching this important milestone.
Liberal Party of Canada

February 15th, 2007 / 2:10 p.m.
Sylvie Boucher Beauport—Limoilou, QC
Mr. Speaker, today's opposition motion really serves as a scathing indictment of the 13 years of Liberal government.
The Liberals ratified the Kyoto protocol knowing full well that Canada would not be able to meet the Kyoto targets.
In their first red book, the Liberals promised to create a national childcare program. They delivered nothing in 13 years.
As for judicial appointments, Benoît Corbeil, former president of the Quebec wing of the Liberal Party, stated that anyone who aspired to a judgeship or any other plum position had to be friends with the members of the Liberal Party of Canada.
The motion presented by the hon. member for Etobicoke—Lakeshore bears witness to the desperation of the Liberal Party, which is completely out of new ideas and innovative solutions.
The federal Liberals refused to act. The Bloc Québécois will never be able to act. We, on the other hand, are taking action.

Penny Priddy Surrey North, BC
Mr. Speaker, last month I joined the member for Toronto—Danforth in Surrey to announce the NDP strategy for getting smart on crime.
Some crime is down in Canada, but violent crime is increasing at an alarming rate. It is time for a new approach. Hard-working families in Surrey deserve to feel safe on their streets and in their homes.
Getting smart on crime means focusing on the three Ps: prevention, policing and punishment.
Prevention is important to stop crime in the first place. It costs a few hundred dollars to help a youth in Surrey get a summer job. It costs $150,000 a year if that same youth gets involved in a gang instead and gets sent to prison.
Adequate policing is crucial. We need to ensure that the Surrey RCMP has the people and the resources it needs to keep our street safe When a person commits a crime, there should be appropriate punishment. This guiding principle is needed to protect our community from those who would prey upon it.
Many politicians talk about getting tough on crime, and I agree, but not with oversimplified answers to complex questions.
I am proud to be working toward real solutions for making Surrey safer for everyone.
National Flag Day

Susan Kadis Thornhill, ON
Mr. Speaker, with great pride I rise to mark the National Flag Day of Canada. Chosen by Parliament in the time of Lester B. Pearson, today is the 42nd anniversary of the first hoist of the maple leaf emblem over the Peace Tower on Parliament Hill.
This moment in our rise from colony to nation is one in which all Canadians take pride. Around the world the maple leaf is a symbol of justice and hope because Canada is a new nation, an immigrant nation, where peoples of all national origins have united in a peaceful and tolerant society.
For our soldiers killed in action, the ultimate symbol of respect is to half-mast our national flag. On this Flag Day, when we have cause to reflect on a year of sacrifice, I call on the Conservative government to reverse its disturbing decision to cease this practice.
To honour all fallen Canadian soldiers, the government must obey the dictates of decency and honour and order the flag half-masted whenever one of our own is killed in action.
Quebec Film Festival

Diane Bourgeois Terrebonne—Blainville, QC
Mr. Speaker, in February 2007, we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois, a festival which supports and promotes Quebec film in Quebec, Canada and throughout the world.
Over the past 25 years, we have discovered and enjoyed the quality and diversity of a truly national film industry in Quebec which has produced shorts, feature films, documentaries, animated movies and art and experimental films.
On behalf of my Bloc Québécois colleagues, I would like to pay tribute to those who work in this vibrant industry.
This major Quebec film festival takes place at a time when we are exploring new avenues for the financing and development of the Quebec film industry. We expect the federal government to do its share and to show a real interest in this industry, which is an important component of our culture and an incomparable tool for promoting it worldwide.
Chinese Canadians

Raymond Chan Richmond, BC
Mr. Speaker, as elected officials we must endeavour to always provide Canadians with accurate information so they can make informed decisions. We may have differences of opinion, but we must always speak the truth.
Sadly, it has been recorded that the Secretary of State (Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity) has more than once misled the House and Canadians.
He has misled the Chinese Canadian community by stating that I was not telling the truth about the legal advice given by the department on the head tax question and that I opposed the head tax apology even after the fact.
The Secretary of State (Multiculturalism and Canadian Identity) must come clean and apologize to the House, to Canadians and in particular to the Chinese-Canadian community for misleading them.

WBER is Rochester's favorite local radio station
The last time the Rochester's choice winners were announced, I lamented the fact that Bill Gray's was voted the best cheeseburger. This time, the vote for favorite local radio station is something I can agree on.
The vote for favorite local radio station went to WBER, and I love this station. So much so, that I changed all the radio presets in my mom's car to WBER. I figured since she doesn't listen to the radio while driving, it was fine to do so, but my dad found out, and got mad. It was worth it, though.
I've been listening to this station for years, and while it may play more obscure music a lot of the time, most of it is very good, and the station has a certain "sound" associated with it. Over the years, the station has introduced me to many great artists, such as Tegan and Sara, Vampire Weekend, Matt & Kim, Death Cab For Cutie, Crystal Castles, and many more. If you count my favorite band of all time, Alkaline Trio, there's another. The station is also responsible for introducing me to the hilarious sounds of MC Lars, another current favorite of mine.
The station has many programs, aside from sending their broadcasting signal to many local High School radio clubs, They also feature a show bringing you the best in local music, new wave Wednesdays, the Friday morning show, and Elektrobank.
One of hy favorite programs happens every year on New Year's Day, where DJ's count down the top 30 songs from the previous year, as well as playing old favorites that made the countdown in years past. Most years, there is one song that seems to be played more than the rest, and easily gets the number one spot, in my opinion. One year, the top spot went to Death Cab For Cutie, for their song "I Will Possess Your Heart;" and staying true to their roots, WBER played the full 8-minute version of the song, rather than editing it. Last year, the number one song was pretty obvious, and it was "Pumped Up Kicks," by Foster The People, which WBER started playing, before the song became real popular.
Admittedly, I'm usually pretty good at guessing which song will take the top spot, but this year, it's wide open, in my opinion. It could be Foster The People again, with the song "Houdini," or possibly Minus the bear, who had two popular songs on the station throughout the year. Tune in at noon on New Year's Day for the countdown, and go to wber.org for more information.

Marshall Greenstep steps forward
MARSHALL – Making the community a better place doesn't have to take heroic efforts. Small changes and a little creativity can make a big difference.
"It's about doing the best you can," said Tom Hoff, coordinator of the Marshall GreenStep program. "We're about trying to make Marshall a clean, efficient place to live."
Formed last spring, Marshall GreenStep is dedicated to improving efficiency, saving money and improving the local environment. Organizers are also hoping to get the community involved, and they're kicking off their first big project: recognizing local businesses taking their own "green" steps.
"We really want to try and encourage local businesses to look at different areas," where they could become more efficient or help the environment, Hoff said. "Maybe using less fossil fuel, maybe recycling more, or using energy more efficiently." There are many different and creative ways to take part, he said.
The Marshall GreenStep Committee had its origins with a group of local citizens. The committee was officially formed in March, when the Marshall City Council approved a request for Marshall to become a GreenStep City.
GreenStep Cities is a statewide program that recognizes cities for environmentally- friendly actions and improved efficiency. GreenStep Cities are named based on participation in a list of best practices, ranging from planning for sustainable growth to installing energy-efficient lighting and encouraging recycling.
"Cities around the state of Minnesota have been doing a lot of creative things," said Hoff. Often, cities will save money in the process.
Since March, Marshall committee members have met to plan opportunities to help get more people involved and raise the city's GreenStep rating. The GreenStep Business program is the first major result of that work.
To become a GreenStep Business, Marshall businesses can submit a form tallying up their environmentally-friendly practices on a points system. For example, actions like recycling printer toner and inkjet cartridges, and replacing incandescent light bulbs with more efficient bulbs, are each worth two points. Using renewable energy sources at a business, or recycling used cooking oil, is worth three points. Businesses with a total of at least 15 points are eligible for recognition.
Committee member Erin Raveling said application forms are available to download on the Marshall GreenStep website, www.marshallgreenstep.org.
Several local organizations and businesses, including the American Legion club, Marshall Municipal Utilities, the Southwest/West Central Service Cooperative and the Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce are already participating in the program, committee members said.
One of the fun things about the points system is that it provides a challenge, committee members said. Participating businesses can keep trying to improve their scores.
And, Hoff said, "Part of the application is, we're asking for people's stories." Businesses taking part in the GreenStep program can suggest ways to help local businesses become "greener" or more efficient, or share their own strategies and successes. Eventually, committee members hope to share some of those stories on the Marshall GreenStep website.
"We want to make it an awareness thing," said committee member Sharon Root. In the future, group members also want to help with community education and outreach efforts.
Hoff said the Marshall GreenStep Committee is also happy to have additional members join the group. Current committee members include representatives from the city, the Marshall Area Chamber of Commerce, Southwest Minnesota State University, the Statewide Health Improvement Program, MMU and other organizations.
More information on the Minnesota GreenStep Cities program, including participating cities' action plans, is available online at greenstep.pca.state.mn.us.

Welcome everyone to The New TeaDay and a new topic!
In light of what Mrs. Chip and I will be doing on Saturday with our grandchildren, Mrs. Chip thought it would be thought provoking and interesting to see if anyone had engaged in any "Off the Wall" activities? And if anyone would admit to it!
Have fun with this and do not be judgemental to what is posted here by other TCers.
Our grandsons were hiking and came across a very bizarre "footprint" in a heavily wooded area north of us. They immediately texted Mrs. Chip with a photo of what they believe could be "Bigfoot"! She encouraged them to document everything even to the point of casting the print.
Well, they did this and it is a remarkable photo and incident. We are remaining open-minded and feel we would like to support them in this discovery. In fact, one of our grandsons is considering going into the field of Cryptozoology.
So on this Saturday afternoon, we will be supporting them and videotaping the trek into the woods to the location. We will hopefully post the photos and results in this topic.
In light of this, we are interested in hearing if anyone here has had an "Off the Wall Experience" or had participated in anything that could be deemed unusual or abnormal. Ghost hunting, UFO sightings, etc. Please feel free to share your feelings and/or experiences with "Bizarre Happenings ...?"
Looking forward to entering into this realm of the Twilight Zone with you! Bottoms UP!

State counties declare state of emergency
LANSING (AP) – Four Michigan counties and one township have declared emergencies following an ice storm that left nearly 600,000 homes and businesses across the state without power.
The move makes them eligible for state aid, although no formal requests have been received in Lansing.
Barry, Clinton, Eaton and Shiawassee counties, along with Delta Township in Eaton County, have made local emergency declarations.
The number of customers still without power in Michigan had been reduced to about 60,000 by Friday afternoon.
State officials say Consumers Energy and the Lansing Board of Water & Light expect to have power restored by Saturday night, while DTE Energy is looking at full restoration by Friday night.

|Classified or not? Two sides of story on Navy SEAL book
|Posted 9/4/2012 6:44 PM ET
Matt Bissonnette, who wrote No Easy Day under the pseudonym Mark Owen, does not hold back on how bin Laden met his gruesome end during a secret helicopter raid in Abbottabad, Pakistan, in May 2011.
Despite the claim that the book contains no secrets, Pentagon press secretary George Little said that an official review determined that it reveals "sensitive and classified" information. He said the author was required to submit the book to the Pentagon before publication.
Also on Tuesday, the commander of Navy Special Warfare Command, Rear Adm. Sean Pybus, warned his troops about violating their ethos of not advertising their work.
"The security of our force and families is also put at risk by the release of sensitive information," Pybus wrote.
Dutton, the book's publisher, said that the book, written with the help of former Associated Press reporter Kevin Maurer, had been screened by a lawyer with experience in military secrets and that nothing classified had been revealed.
Bissonnette reveals that bin Laden did not put up a fight as claimed by the White House, describing how one of his comrades shot the al-Qaeda chief on the right side of his head as he peeked out of a doorway.
"Blood and brains spilled out of the side of his skull. In his death throes, he was still twitching and convulsing," he writes. "Another assaulter and I trained our lasers on his chest and fired several rounds. The bullets tore into him, slamming his body into the floor until he was motionless."
The book contradicts the official White House account, which maintained in the days after the raid that bin Laden was shot in a firefight after appearing to try to arm himself. Bissonnette says the architect of the 9/11 terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans was shot on sight.
"He hadn't even prepared a defense," he said. "He had no intention of fighting."
White House spokesman Jay Carney would not comment on the book last week but acknowledged that some accounts of the raid from the White House were "incomplete."
Bissonnette said that neither he nor many SEALs are fans of the president but that he did not write the book for political reasons.
Bissonnette's book describes the secretive, insular world of the nation's premier counterterrorism force, and how working for the SEALs and not family life was the priority in members' lives. The most compelling part of the book is its final third — regarding the planning, training and execution of the raid.
Bissonnette was on a helicopter that crash-landed in the compound and was involved in a firefight that was essentially the only resistance encountered by the SEALs. The battle ended in the death of one of bin Laden's couriers, Ahmed al-Kuwaiti.
He writes of what was found in the search of the compound such as computers, files and a box of Just for Men hair dye used by bin Laden to keep his beard from looking gray.

I suggest that he refrain from passing between any pair of reasonably solid, well-anchored objects.
This well-anchored drinking-cup was shaped like the pecten-shell of pilgrimage, and set with the broad fluted end towards him.
Old English ancor, borrowed 9c. from Latin ancora "anchor," from or cognate with Greek ankyra "anchor, hook" (see ankle). A very early borrowing and said to be the only Latin nautical term used in the Germanic languages. The -ch- form emerged late 16c., a pedantic imitation of a corrupt spelling of the Latin word. The figurative sense of "that which gives stability or security" is from late 14c. Meaning "host or presenter of a TV or radio program" is from 1965, short for anchorman.
c.1200, from anchor (n.). Related: Anchored; anchoring.
From Acts 27:29, 30, 40, it would appear that the Roman vessels carried several anchors, which were attached to the stern as well as to the prow. The Roman anchor, like the modern one, had two teeth or flukes. In Heb. 6:19 the word is used metaphorically for that which supports or keeps one steadfast in the time of trial or of doubt. It is an emblem of hope. "If you fear, Put all your trust in God: that anchor holds."

Laser procedures are growing in popularity as an alternative to plastic surgery. In Palm Beach County, many dermatologists are offering specialized laser treatments for everything from wrinkles to redness.
- Dr. Diane Walder, a dermatologist based in Bay Harbor Islands with an office in Delray Beach, offers a number of laser treatments. Laser genesis uses a single wavelength to treat fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin texture, redness and scars. By heating the upper dermis of the skin, the laser stimulates collagen regrowth, resulting in improved overall skin appearance.
- Limelight, also offered by Walder, is a device that uses a spectrum of wavelengths to target vascular and pigmented cells while leaving healthy ones untouched. This process can be done on the face, neck, chest, arms, hands and legs and is an effective treatment for photoaging, damage caused by prolonged exposure to the sun. (305-866-2177, dianewaldermd.com)
- In Boca Raton, Dr. Jacob D. Steiger, employs a variety of procedures that utilize the Excel V laser. In 15-30 minutes, the Excel V laser can treat numerous skin conditions by using a wavelength that targets vascular lesions. In addition, the Excel V Laser can aid in post-surgery bruising, lessening the downtime following surgical procedures. (561-499-9339, drsteiger.com)

How do you feel about towns using the Department of Defense Surplus?
In recent weeks, Long Hill Township and Watchung Borough passed ordinances allowing their police departments to be able to apply for surplus equipment from the Department of Defense. Long Hill recently procured a Humvee to use in times of flooding, which Watchung states as the reason they are getting into the program. However, in cities around the country, police forces have used the program to obtain military gear, such as weapons and armor.

Got this cutter as part of a bundle. It is not good. Blades were dull and the screws are falling out. Pick a different cutter if you have a choice
This cutter arrived with everything in tact, and after just a few uses it became really loose. The blades are still fairly sharp but that's probably because I hardly use it. I would not recommend this product unless you like to do some maintenance on your cigar cutters.
Can't beat it for the price. Works the way it's supposed to and it is nice looking for a cigar cutter under $13.
I recently purchased this cutter (Moretti Guillotine Cutter) and as the reviews stated, many of the screws were loose. I did not have any missing, but before using the cutter, I removed all the screws and applied some thread locker to all of the screws. They are now holding tight and the cutter looks and works great now.
My Moretti came with a fathers day deal and arrived with several screws missing, I love the cutter so I am just going to replace all the screws with brass pin rivets. Even with the missing screws this is still a great cutter, Thx CI!!!
Screws, screws, screws......everywhere a screw. good cutter, however I feel screwed.
I have been using the Moretti guillotine cutter for about a year. I like the appearance, it cuts well and is comfortable to use. The only problem is the screws loosen and fall out, the first time three screws fell out but I was able to find two of them. I tightened all the screws that were all loose. The other day I noticed three screws fell out again but I couldn't find any of them, I can't find screws to replace them. I would suggest taking the screws out and putting a little lock-tight or super glue on the screws before replacing them.

Pacing Diana - Page 3
We waited for the next woman to arrive—Darcy Africa looking strong and confident—was over 30 minutes behind. We then drove over the Dallas Divide, a mountain pass between Telluride and the next aid station in Ouray. I looked south, to the high peaks, where clouds loomed and the course would transect. Diana would be up there, hopefully heading out of those clouds, down the free-falling scree that lies below the exposed Kroger's Canteen Aid Station.
Ouray, mile 43. We expected Diana to come through shortly after 4 p.m. She arrived at 4 p.m. exactly, still the first woman. Surprisingly, she was now second overall. Her dad and I both noticed that the lead runner (by mere minutes), appeared tired in Ouray. "I think Diana will pass him soon," he said.
I texted friends "watching" the race online at www.hardrock100.com that they should not be surprised if she was in first place by the next time results were posted. At mile 56, Grouse Gulch was the next accessible aid station, where I would start pacing.
When we arrived at Grouse Gulch, a HAM radio operator listening to race reports from other aid stations yelled: "Diana Finkel is in first place and should be here shortly!" A loud whoop went up from 20 people waiting at Grouse Gulch.
I should have slept, rested for the long night ahead, but I was too amped. And this was a new pressure. I have paced Diana to top-10 finishes at other races (first female at Leadville, first female at Angeles Crest, a top 10 at Western States), but this was different. First overall. Dale Garland, the Hardrock race director, approached me, saying, "You've got a big job tonight, eh? Are you going to try to get her home in first!?" I just smiled genially.
There are four major 100-mile ultramarathons in the American West: the Wasatch 100 in Utah, the Western States 100 in California, the Leadville Trail 100 and the Hardrock 100, both in Colorado. Among ultrarunners Western States is the most famous. Leadville has the most entrants. Wasatch is considered challenging. Hardrock is considered the ne plus ultra of difficulty. The hardest.
A buzz rolled around Grouse Gulch. I sat next to Utah runner Jared Campbell's pacer, both of us readying ourselves. Jared was in second behind Diana. At the start today, Diana had said to Jared, "I hope you win it today."

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (March 5, 2012) - The U.S. Men's Sitting Volleyball Team (2-1) fell to Croatia, 25-16, 25-17, 25-22 on Monday in its third match at the Intercontinental Cup in Cairo, Egypt.
Despite the loss, the U.S. Men's Sitting Team still has a chance to qualify for the 2012 Paralympic Games in London. The United States will face host Egypt on Tuesday, March 6 at 11:30 a.m. (EET).
Head Coach Bill Hamiter (Bethany, Okla.) started Eric Duda (Fort Lauderdale, Fla./Edmond, Okla.) and J Dee Marinko (Newcastle, Okla.) at outside hitter, Dan Regan (St. Louis, Mo./Edmond, Okla.) and Roderick Green (West Monroe, La./Edmond, Okla.) at middle blocker, James Stuck (New Kensington, Pa./Edmond, Okla.) and Charles Swearingen (Gulfport, Miss./Edmond, Okla.) at right side and Ed O'Neil (Amherst, Mass./Edmond, Okla.) at libero. Hugo Storer (Greensboro, N.C.) was substituted for Swearingen in sets one and two and started for Swearingen in the third set.
Duda was the leading scorer with 13 points from 12 blocks and a kill. Stuck and Marinko both posted seven points with Stuck connecting on five kills and a team high two blocks while Markino connected on six kills and posted one block. Regan contributed four points off of two blocks and two kills and Swearingen charted three points from two kills and a block. Storer and Green each charted three points with Storer connected on two kills and a block and Green on three kills.
Croatia had 15 blocks compared to six from Team USA.
The 14 teams will be competing in two separate tournaments during their play, one for Paralympic qualification and one for the Intercontinental Cup (ICC). Matches will only count for the London qualification if they are against non-qualified opponents. On the contrary, all matches leading up to the London qualification semis and finals, even those against Egypt, Iran and Brazil (which have already qualified for the Paralympics) will count toward the Intercontinental Cup standings. Each tournament will have its own set of winners and results.
The last time the U.S. Men's Sitting Team qualified for the Paralympic Games was in 2004 when it defeated Brazil at the Parapan American Games in Argentina for a bid to the Athens Paralympics.

The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper (London), vol. 38 (1888), pp. 340-41
Captioned "Slave Raid in Central Africa," this engraving is based on a drawing made by the British explorer and colonial administrator, H. H. (Harry) Johnston. Johnston had travelled extensively in Africa during the 1880s. The illustration is accompanied by a lengthy article on the slave trade (p. 342) in which Johnston emphasizes that despite the virtual termination of the Atlantic slave trade, it "rages for the moment more fiercely than ever," being conducted mainly by slavers from north, central, and east Africa. Johnston gives a detailed description of how villages are raided by slave traders and how male and female captives are secured and taken to the markets; also how children are treated. The illustration shown here is based on "my East African sketches, but the surroundings and the character of the participants in these drawings are very similar throughout the slave-hunting grounds of Central Africa; and what you see here depicted might as nearly represent the slave-raids of the Mohammedan Fulas and Hausas in the Western Soudan, of the Arabs, Nubians, and Abyssinians in the Nile Basin, as of the Arabs, Baluchis, and Arabised negroes on the Upper Congo, the Upper Zambezi, and in the region of the Great Lakes." Johnston gives a vivid description not only of slaving raids on villages but also conditions on the coffles ("caravans") in which captives were taken to the northeast and the slave markets of Arabian peninsula.
In the legend under the illustration, Johnston describes how the raids are accomplished and what happens to the captives: "Creeping up through the long grass, gliding through the encompassing belt of forest, selecting, no doubt, a time when most of the fighting-men are absent fishing or hunting, the slave-raiders suddenly pounce on the doomed village, which they rapidly encircle. The loud discharge of their guns paralyses the inhabitants with terror, and the panic is doubtless added to by the firing of the thatched huts. The few men who attempt an ineffectual resistance with their spears and clubs and bows and arrows are pitilessly shot down. The women, the boys, and such youths or young men as are easily overpowered, are speedily secured; their hands are usually tied behind the back, and their necks are invested with the heavy forked sticks which the slave-raiders have previously cut and brought with them on the back of their donkeys or their slave-porters. In addition to these wooden yokes, the slaves are frequently tied together by long twisted liana cords, made of the tough bush-creepers. The little children are rarely tied, except with their heart-strings, for their attachment to their mothers, and the mothers' determination not to be parted from their children, combine to carry them along with the slave-caravan—as long, that is to say, as their poor little legs can bear them."

I'm thinking about specialization for the tea drinker, not the tea farmer or merchant. My order of Korean tea samples from o5tea arrived in today's mail, and I'm now enjoying the 6th infusion of a balhyocha.
So where's my quandary? I have loads of sample packets of wuyi oolongs from the MTR and EOT. I have loads of sample packets and several bags of loose Puerh as well as maybe 2 bings from EOT, MTR and Seven Cups. Then there's the fragile Japanese greens, including 2 unopened bags of 2012 gyo, and a bit of Chinese greens. There are Teachatters who have become expert in one or two kinds do tea. Did you just not enjoy more varieties, or did you consciously choose to learn about your favorite, or end up as experts another way?
I don't need to be an expert, but I do want to learn enough to brew my teas with confidence that I'm getting maximum enjoyment out of them.

What is the route?
In a nutshell its a few laps of Norman Park! Not one of the best runs but one of the few in January
I've run this twice, it's a few laps of the running track, normally 4 laps of the field and a lap and a half of the track to finish. Can't guarantee it being a full 10km, first year it was 10.4km and last year it was 9.6km....good fun though!
I did it 2 years ago & it's a nice steady route
Given the quality of that page, the results pages for other events etc ... I'm not inspired.
I'm assuming this isn't chip timing?
chip timed,you'll be lucky to get any results.................

Although presented by Maryville College financial aid staff, this is a general information session to help prospective students and parents, regardless of the type of college they are considering.
Parents and students will learn what they need to do to apply for all types of financial aid, including completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which is required to qualify for most student aid programs such as the Tennessee State Grant, Federal Pell Grant, institutional awards and low-cost federal student and parent loans. Terminologies, student eligibility, timelines and information on grants and loans will be explained. From institutional aid to state and federal aid programs, this financial aid primer will help decipher the terms, raise the issues, review best approaches and answer financial aid questions.
Participants will also be briefed on the Tennessee Educational Lottery Scholarship Program, as well as the importance of searching out free money awards like scholarships to help pay for education costs.
"Attending Financial Aid Night will provide a family with the basic knowledge to steer them through the seemingly difficult financial aid process. Knowing the terms, deadlines and the types of aid can help assure that your child is receiving the most financial aid that is available," said Ric Brand, director of financial aid at the College.
For more information, please call the College's Office of Financial Aid at 865.981.8100.
Maryville College is ideally situated in Maryville, Tenn., between the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Knoxville, the state's third largest city. Founded in 1819, it is the 12th oldest institution of higher learning in the South and maintains an affiliation with the Presbyterian Church (USA). Known for offering its students a rigorous and highly personal experience that includes an undergraduate research requirement, Maryville College is a nationally ranked institution of higher learning that successfully joins the liberal arts and professional preparation.

lingering taste of onions

always crunchy with a lingering aftermaths of onions, but not over whelming, totally hooked on this brand & all it's different flavours! great for munchies, but careful not to eat more than 10-15 as it is very filling & rich in different oils & over eating can cause your waist line to expand! difficult to keep in moderation .

Why Julia's book??? Cause YOUR worth it!!!!!
Posted by Sickness-ELIMINATOR on Aug 11, 2013
To sum it up in just a simple phrase, Id say " Changing your life is an understatement for what this book does"!!! Who would have thought that my life would come full circle in the last 5 years! In 2001, I sat at this very computer reading the cold hard facts about how vices control our life! The definition of vice was put as simple as anything that controls you and hinders your desired outcome. My biggest desire in the world was to become a healthy person who could dream big and THEN make those dreams become a reality! My biggest hinderence was my LOVE for cupcakes! It was as simple as giving up my first vice in order to start a journey that would last a lifetime. It has been 5 years since I started this long journey with Julia Havey and this road has led me from a 350 pound admirer of this successful weight loss author, to a 170 pound friend of this warm hearted mother, wife, and honest woman! She has been by my side through ups and downs, both weight loss related and life related, and help keep my head high throughit all. This book is a real life approach to helping someone reach their dreams and goals. It teaches you to bust your vices one at a time and more importantly to learn to belive in yourself! Without the self confidence that you learn to feel, success would not be the final outcome. If I had to suggest one book that would truely fit its title, this would be it. It will help you change your life in every aspect of the word!!!! Its a simple, doable, believable approach to weight loss, and once youve read the book, you will know that "IF you dream it, YOU CAN DO IT!" I dedicated my time and effort to this woman 5 years ago, and believed in myslef enough to bust all my vices, and go on to lose 185 pounds in less than 2 years and have been living a life of confidence, health and love for myself for the last 3 years! In october of this year I will marry the love of my life, and Julia will be standing up next to me in my wedding. Life has come full circle thanks to her, and if you are looking for a plan that will work not only to lose weight, but to change your life FOREVER, please read and follow this plan for 12 weeks, and then spread your wings and fly! . . . . You can find other products I use on my Page! I use only products that have Scientifically Proven benefits.

Posted by Reviewer2398221 on May 02, 2011
sort of hammers home what we all already know to be true, yet it offers a good reminder and logical approach to eating and living well. Pushes PGX a lot but still worth the read.

Police discovered over 10,000 marijuana plants in both Idaho and Oregon with the help of GPS tracking.
Detectives in Ada and Canyon County noticed that there were huge amounts of plastic pipes and water emitters being purchased in cash from local distributors. Suspecting production of an illegal substance, investigators planted GPS trackers on the goods and followed the suspects to their marijuana grow operations where they uncovered 6,000 marijuana plants.
Using similar tactics, police were also able to locate another 4,000 marijuana plants in a remote region of Oregon, apparently connected to this particular grow operation. Authorities arrested three men and charged them in connection to serious marijuana grows in both Idaho and Oregon. Police value the marijuana at millions of dollars.

Big-time appointment
U.S. Rep. Bill Owens has only been in Congress for three years, but he recently accomplished something his predecessor, eight-term Congressman John McHugh, didn't: He was appointed to the House's influential Appropriations Committee.
The Appropriations Committee oversees virtually all federal spending and is considered to be one of the House's most powerful committees, according to SUNY Potsdam Professor Jack McGuire, who told the Enterprise this week that Owens will now be heavily courted by lobbyists from all corners of the country.
Owens represents New York's 21st Congressional District, a vast region which includes all of Clinton, Franklin, Essex, St. Lawrence, Jefferson, Lewis, Hamilton, Fulton, Warren and Washington counties, and parts of Herkimer and Saratoga counties.
Owens said in a phone interview that he sought out membership on the Appropriations Committee but didn't expect to get appointed. To be considered, Owens wrote a letter to Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Connecticut, who co-chairs the House Democratic Steering Committee, in early December. Several weeks later, DeLauro contacted Owens to tell him the appointment had been approved, and it was formalized on Jan. 4.
"In truth, I was a bit surprised when it happened," Owens said. "Obviously, I was very happy, but surprised nonetheless that it happened this early on in my career in Congress."
Owens said he will now have more influence on federal spending, although he's still in the minority party.
"I think that for a number of reasons, that's very helpful to the district," he said. "It allows you to have input on virtually every issue that is going on in the government today. It continues my ability to help on Armed Services in Fort Drum. It continues my ability to help with (agricultural) issues, with the border, with schools and education – virtually everything that impacts people in the district comes before this committee.
"So in terms of getting a broader based view, and having a broader impact, I thought this was very important that I at least seek this opportunity."
McGuire noted that House Democratic leadership would have flagged Owens' name prior to him seeking the committee assignment. He said he thinks Owens got the assignment because his district is leaning Democrat more so than in the past. In the 2012 election, incumbent Barack Obama fared far better than challenger Mitt Romney in most of the North Country, and Owens has won three consecutive elections despite fierce conservative opposition.
McGuire said Democrats want to hold onto the seat.
"So how can you hold onto that seat? Put somebody on that committee who might be able to serve the district well," he said. "And so I think that's part of the reason Bill Owens is now serving on that committee."
McGuire teaches political science at Potsdam State. He said Owens' appointment to the committee is a big feather in his hat, even though he's not in the majority party.
In 1865, the House decided to take appropriating and banking and currency duties away from the Ways and Means Committee and hand them over to a pair of new committees: Appropriations, and Banking and Currency. According to the Appropriations Committee website, all general appropriations bills were handled by Ways and Means.
"The new Committee on Appropriations – six Republicans and three Democrats – was appointed on December 11, 1865, in the 1st session of the 39th Congress, and first reported the general appropriations bills for the fiscal year 1867," the website reads. "By 1920, the number of members had grown to 21. It was changed that year to 35 and gradually increased to 50 by 1951. Until recently, the Committee numbered 66 members, but has since reduced its ranks to 50 members."
McGuire explained that the committee mainly deals with 14 appropriations bills that are responsible for funding the federal government.
"So in terms of the entirety of all the funding for all of the different programs, departments, bureaus, agencies – it goes through the Appropriations Committee," McGuire said. "And so all of the trillions of dollars that fund the federal government are overseen, in at least one aspect, by the Appropriations Committee, which Bill Owens sits on."
McGuire said the committee sets funding levels for federal child care and educational programs, the Department of Defense, Homeland Security and more. Legislation considered by the House doesn't live or die based on action taken by the Appropriations Committee, but the amount of funding attached to most bills is at stake.
McGuire said Owens should expect more attention from lobbyists because he will be one of a select few who decide how much money will be funneled to specific bills.
The Appropriations Committee is an exclusive one, meaning Owens had to relinquish his membership on the Armed Services, Small Business and Agriculture committees. McGuire said because Appropriations is so powerful, it wouldn't be fair for its members to sit on other committees at the same time.
"It's a way in which to mollify, or to keep members in the House happy," he said. "And to not concentrate power too much in the hands of the few."
McGuire said that traditionally, members of the Appropriation Committee are known for "bringing home the bacon." In other words, its members are able to negotiate funding items that benefit their home districts.
"You can rest assured that there's going to be a lot of the proverbial ornaments hanging off of the Christmas tree," McGuire said. "In all likelihood, he'll serve on different conference committees that are dealing with appropriations bills, and often times in the conferences, that's where you're going to see different little riders, if you want to call them riders, or little bits of pork that are put into the bills. I would imagine that some of that will come back to his district."
But Congress renewed a ban on earmarks this past fall, and Owens said 99 percent of the pork that used to be attached to appropriations bills has gone away. He said his goal is to make sure his district receives a proportional amount of federal funding, especially as Congress prepares to make spending cuts.
"I want to make sure that we, in the 21st, are getting the things that we need and a fair shake in this appropriations process," Owens said.
After he was sworn in to his third term earlier this month, Owens said he wants Congress to get more specific about where the federal government needs to cut spending. He said his new committee appointment will give him a louder voice as those talks begin to take shape.
"You can reduce, if you will, the appropriation to a particular area, and therefore effect a cut," Owens said. "And I'm hoping I can bring some common sense to the process."
McGuire repeatedly emphasized the magnitude of Owens' latest appointment, but Owens himself seemed to downplay it.
"Clearly, I'm honored that the leadership in my caucus felt that I was a person who could do this job," he said. "And I think it reflects on my attitude, generally, that I'm always trying to search out the facts. I don't usually overreact to things; sometimes I'm criticized for that. But I'm really trying to understand what's the issue, what are the facts and how do we make a good decision."

ESPN Rumor Mill wrote:The Indians' bullpen has second-highest ERA in the American League, but according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, it's probably too early to make a trade for help. "If our starting pitchers get us through the seventh inning consistently, I guarantee you our bullpen will improve," GM Mark Shapiro told the newspaper. "I guarantee you."
Indians starters are averaging 5 2/3 innings per start (through 27 games), and have reached the seventh inning or beyond five times. "To say our bullpen is the biggest problem is the wrong perception," said Shapiro. "Write that down ... the wrong perception."
Okay, I wrote it down. It didn't work for me.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (75 votes).
In short: The hills were challenging but it was a good race, although congested at the start.Date of review: July 16, 2012
In short: Lovely course on the only day of sun this summer.In full: I want to say well done to the race organisers on this one. Good marshalling, water stations and crowds. One of those races where everything is so smooth you don't even notice the organisation, exactly as it should be. Cakes available for spectators and a cricket pitch for my daughter to run around on. Fantastic. As for the race itself, tight pack to start with but it soon broke up. Good scenery for a road race and mildly challenging. £13 for organisation and a good technical t-shirt. Bargain.Date of review: July 16, 2012
In short: Not as hilly as expected, but a couple of long drags!In full: First time running Eccup 10 today. Fantastic organisation, a testing undulating course but nothing to worry about. Beautiful around the reservoir and fantastic quality shirts awarded at the end (proper breathable running shirts as opposed to the norm). A highly recommended race, see you next year!Date of review: July 15, 2012
In short: round the reservoir on a sunny Sunday morning - what's not to like?In full: A superbly organised race. Rather congested at the start, but nothing could be done about that, it soon thinned out. Lovely route, plentiful undulations, and great marshals. My second time, and will be back. Traffic free, which made it a pleasure. The section around the reservoir was really lovely.Date of review: July 15, 2012
In short: Superb race!In full: A real gem of a race this. My first time today, and gutted I've never done it before really! Quite a challenging route with a few climbs - nothing too bad, but quite a few longish drags - particularly miles 6 to 8.5 from memory (or was I just knackered by then?!?) But race organisation was impecable - no traffic (from what I can remember), loads of marshals, 3 water stations, a very nice technical T-Shirt, plentiful parking etc etc.Top marks to all concerned - you did a great job, thank you.Date of review: July 15, 2012

In short: Very undulating (hardly any flat parts) but no big hills to worry about. Some lovely scenery especially by reservoirDate of review: July 21, 2011
In short: Scenic & hilly, fantastic organisationIn full: Plenty of parking, cheery marshalls, water stations and a testing course set around Eccup reservoir. All that hill training came in very handy! Very well organised, nice finish area with another drinks station and a paperweight memento for all finishers - different to the usual medal/t-shirt. Will definately be back next yearDate of review: July 11, 2011
In short: Harder than it looks!In full: I can't understand why this course seems so challenging. There are a fair few inclines on the route but they are not particularly steep or lengthy, yet having completed this race twice, I have found it tough on both occasions and run hillier 10 milers far quicker.That said: It's a lovely scenic route, supportive marshalling, enough water stations and a great atmosphere at the finish. Many thanks to the Abbey Runners.Date of review: July 11, 2011
