Any dog whisperers out there? PITA & we need your help.Posted Wednesday, November 24, 2010, at 8:48 AM
Pita the pumpkin eater (and destroyer of many other things)
She is not nasty with our other pets and while she annoys most of them, she annoys her human family most with a wide range of activities that to her are probably playful and mischievous, but for those who read my blog regularly, you know.
This morning, another potted plant destroyed and my readers know that I take my plants seriously. Something has to give. PITA has NO ONE in the family to defend her but me and I am about to take her to the pound.

She looks to be a hound mix, they need to be outside.

putting her outside would, of course, merely transfer the problems from you to your neighbors.
it is a shame, tho. the most troublesome dogs are also potentially the best dogs. it is the intelligent, active canines that get into the most trouble. were someone to take the time to train her, and provide her with plenty of work to do, you would be amazed at the change in her behavior.
not every dog has its needs met by having food and a place to sleep.

She's bored...does she have something to chew on that's "hers"...my .02...I've got my own stupid/untrainable cainine to contend with. But our lab is an angel and we trained her watching "the dog whispherer" show. And it works. But my guess on your problem is boredom.

Sorry, I forgot some of you may not know, but Pita has the run of 66 acres and is free to come and go in our green house with two their dogs.
Thank goodness for me, I never let her into our house. Deb would have ME sleeping with the other dogs.
She collects "things" from all over including out firewood. If I could teach her to stack, it might me a winner.
We have also given her toys and plastic bottles (on of her favorites) and bought a hard rubber toy from the pet store that we hide a dog treat inside. We can throw it or just let her chew at it until she gets the snack out.
She plays with the other dogs, usually catches a opossum or two every month and now has what appears to be a freshly severed deer's leg to carry around. No, we don't allow deer hunting, but we find several deer remains each year.
By the way, I doubt seriously that she killed the deer. She runs from her own shadow.

I am no "dog whisperer", but I have read that working breed dogs without a "job" get bored and can be deemed by their owners as destructive. I do believe that PITA looks like a hunting dog. She may need a "job" that suits her innate skills.
There are places in Tennessee that provide this type of training and productive "work" for some types of dogs. I know of one such place that works specifically with bored herding type dogs. The owners of these dogs claim that by taking them weekly to this "camp" where they are trained to herd sheep and goats has improved their behavior throughout the rest of the week.
Maybe you could find someone who hunts with dogs and see if they might be interested in training her to hunt with them. There is a Raccoon Hunting group in our area that hunts raccoons (no kill, just treeing) regularly by the Duck River. We hear them and the dogs regularly.
Just a thought.

read Jelly Bean versus Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde by C.W. Meisterfeld
Three main causes of dog behavioral problems
Improper training where you use physical pain to get compliance
Lack of any training where the dog forms it own behavior based on what makes it happy
and humanization where the dog is treated as a child substitute.
shrink the dogs territory to a 4' x 20 foot kennel and only reward the behavior you want. in a matter of 12 weeks of obedience training you can change his behavior.

Amalphia is correct...they need a "job" and even though she's got free "rein", she's bored playing by herself, so she finds "trouble" to get your attention. I'll trade you...you take our "dumber than a box of rocks" bloodhound and I'll have my husband train your dog! :)
-- Posted by neighborhood mom on Thu, Nov 25, 2010, at 8:47 AM
Some interesting thoughts. I agree she seems bored but that is why we have given her so much to play with ( and apparently why she "finds" so much more). I tried wearing her out with games, but it wears me out first.
If she really could be a "hunting dog" I would love to give her to someone who would treat her well. Alas, I am afraid that after a year+ she may have lost her ability to "focus", BUT if someone promises not to put her down and treats her well.......watch out what you offer Neighborhood Mom.
When she acts up, I have been putting her on a log chain that she can move but with a LOT of effort and she can basically only get water or move to a new spot in the yard. It only stays on for an hour or so, but maybe I should start extending that as a variation of the 4X20 kennel.
Right now she is sprawled out on our deck after I night of spreading our recycled plastic all over the yard. She also drug in a skull with spine attached and carries that around. I will dispose of that today. If my mother-in-law sees it, she will sleep less than she already does. I also have to play plastic collector and cut more wood, so... I'm gone for a while.

I think working dog breeds suffer from "puritan work ethic." Play is good, but they need the challenge of a "job," whether its herding or hunting. They enjoy playing, but seem to know the difference between play and "work." We also tried to use play as a substitute for "work" with one of our dogs. He knew the difference.
He is a mix of two working breeds (one is ruff-coated collie) and I never realized how important and innate the desire to have a "real job" was until we had a toddler as a guest for a week. Up to that point he had eaten or chewed up anything he could get his mouth on. He would knock you over just to say "hello." We were concerned that he and the little one would be an accident waiting to happen. He took one look at her and did not leave her side for the entire visit. He went behind her up the stairs and in front of her coming down. He was gentle and slept at the door of her bedroom and always awoke if anyone came near. He wore himself out protecting her and was the calmest and best behaved I've ever seen him. After she left, he looked for her and fretted, but some of the destructive behaviors went away. He has transferred that protective behavior to me and to our rescued kitten. He's not perfect, but he's 100% better behaved now that he knows his job.

Can you loan out that toddler? We are worried that PITA will knock Deb's mother down since she walks right through us.
We don't know exactly what PITA is but I suspect more Labrador because she loves to get in our goldfish pond and she "retrieves" everything she can. Luckily, she brings most everything to the same area of the lawn. When we lose something, we know where to look.
I am not a hunter so how do I work her? Like I said, I wish she would bring in wood but I have no idea how to work that. She carries logs much bigger than her jaw span and during the growing season she picked squash about the size of watermelons. Of course we don't want her to do that since teeth marks do not make squash appetizing.

I'd love to, but she was "rented." She's the daughter of friends of ours. Labs and Lab mixes are one of the most common breeds to be trained as Service Dogs. Labs, like collies are very social and most of them want to be part of the people "pack." They want to please.
If you pick your vegetables, why wouldn't you be pleased with her when she "helps?" Steve, in reading what you do around your place - isn't PITA mimicking your behaviors. You bring in wood, dig in the garden and greenhouse, you pick vegetables, so does she. Her technique isn't the best, but she is trying to please you. She just hasn't figured out what talent she has that will make you happy.
It's hard to praise and reward good behavior, when we don't see much of it. We have had some success with praising the good and "shunning' the dog when it misbehaves. By "shunning" I mean - saying "bad dog" firmly, crossing your arms and turning away. Make no eye or physical contact (positive or negative) with the dog. Until you decide to (I don't mean days, 15 minutes can be a lifetime to a dog) and then it is quiet talk and pets.
When they are puppies and they play too rough or annoy the momma dog, this is what happens to them. The other puppies and/or the momma will push them away, isolating them until the puppy figures out how to behave.
This technique worked for us on a dog that weighed ultimately about 115 pounds. (He outweighed me.) After a while all I had to do was give him "the look" and he would go sit in a corner waiting for his time-out to be over so he could come back and sit with the people. Once he got it, his time-outs were far and few between.
It takes patience and time - and boy is it frustrating trying to find the right technique for the individual dog. They are just like people "one size fits all" just doesn't work.
I wish I had the solution for you, because PITA sounds like a dog who wants to please, but just hasn't figured out how to do it yet.
As to training a dog for hunting, it's something I've never done. I'll ask around and see if there are any trainers/hunters in the area who would help.
-- Posted by amalphia on Sat, Nov 27, 2010, at 1:21 AM
Your insights Amalphia have probably saved PITA from a real bad day today. If your method is correct, she will still not have a good day, but at least she will avoid the "physical contact".
For maybe the 8th time she has chosen a plant to destroy. THE SAME PLANT and I don't know why it has fought to stay alive. I left the carnage (minus the plant, which now had 5 parts to try to regrow) on the greenhouse floor so that when she comes in she will know what my ill humor is about.
She will not come into the greenhouse now (she knows) but being outside is no punishment, so what do you think about putting her on the moveable anchor, (log chain) for 100 days? Well, maybe not 100 days but at least 100 minutes.
She will have access to water but nothing more. The dogs stay away from her because they know what is happening, so it might be my best way of giving time out.
-- Posted by stevemills on Sat, Nov 27, 2010, at 7:27 AM
If she associates the log chain with "time out" it might work. Your meeting her basic needs, but no eye or physical contact. The other dogs are "shunning" her too, because she broke the "pack" rules.
She may have come to associate physical punishment as attention (negative attention is better than no attention.) Restraint and patience is hard when they have ruined something you care about. Consistency is important. Some dogs don't immediately get it. So you have to decide the best behavior modification technique for the particular dog and apply it every time, it could take weeks or months.
I wish I knew the right answer for both of you. I understand your frustration.
One of our abused rescue puppies used to eat my shoes when I was at work. He had been beaten so badly by his previous owner that a tap on the nose, yelling or the sound of newspaper slapping meant nothing to him. He ate my favorites one day. I sat on the floor, cradling my "dead" shoes crying. He came up to me crawling on his belly and whining, I turned away and and continued to cradle the shoes and cry. My other half came in and thought, these shoes where the last straw. He said he would find the dog another home. I had to stop my act for a moment and tell him I was okay. The next day I came home, there was the dog with one of my shoes. This time the shoe was in pristine shape and he was sleeping with his nose buried in the toe - no more eaten shoes. The downside is - my other half doesn't believe me if I cry. Small sacrifice to pay, I had that best friend for eighteen more years.

Kristen at Oscars 'I Can't Live Without You'

'Live While We're Young'
I am moved beyond words. No matter what people think of Kristen, she's an amazing woman. She's had to put up with more than any one of us will ever have to. She's looked hate right in the face and smiled at it; because that's the kind of strength she has.
Thank you for sharing!
LOVE the first video= STAY YOU- Kristen-STAAAAY YOOOUUUU!Thats what we love!!!ReplyDelete
Robsten will always love you kristen no matter what ! We are strong together "" you are love by many around the world I'm across the world from you """ and a mom very proud fan of your ( ; my daughter always ask me mom how's kristen doing cos she knows I adore her (: l always say she is doing just fine cos she is love by us all ....ReplyDelete
Can't see the video's ppl. Please repost...ReplyDelete
OMG...so beautiful, so touching, love all of those vids, thanks for sharing, love you tooReplyDelete
when I see the first video I remember why I love Kristen, she is just honest with herself !!! and that's what pisses of hollywood!ReplyDelete
All the hate for someone so precious because she is real and herself. The whole thing is about Jealousy because Kristen has Love from her friends her fans around the World Her family and Obviously the amazing Rob ( who shows his feelings so transparently) Small minded mean spirited UNLOVED people cant stand this That is why they are so threatened by Kristen Stewart They see what we Fans can see and are so Jealous that she has all this Love and they dont !This goes for so called celeb commentaters and journalists too !ReplyDelete
Watched a news show this morning about Jennifer Lawrence and about how she is so honest and says exactly what she feels, how she hates the pappz and gives them the finger, and the reporters were praising her because she tells it from the heart. Now don't get me wrong I like Jlaw, but why is it when Kristen does the exact same thing she is critized and knocked down for being herself. For some reason the media does not like her and it is sad because they are missing out on knowing a beautiful woman, everyone who works with her has only high praise for how kind and caring she is. So Kristen if you read this just know that your fans (and there are many) love you exactly the way you are, never change, just be yourself. Rob saw the beauty of your heart and he is standing beside you. Love you always.ReplyDelete
I agree with you. All the fans see how amazing Kristen is as an authentic and generous person. Some people said the only thing one can trust on the media is the publishing date, other than that are rubbish. I only read them as some sort of references. I believe in a person based on what she/he value the most. I've seen compassion on Kristen. I think that's the most precious thing in a human being.
Thank you for those supportive vids for Kristen. I hope Krisen knows her fans are everywhere to support her. Mean people always exist in this world. The better way to deal with them is ignoring what they did. They don't own us. We choose what we want to live up to. That's why I love Kristen. She's a perosn who know what she really want and live the best out of it.ReplyDelete

Skip to comments.Polygamy Will be Next (And Much More)
Posted on 03/22/2013 7:55:04 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet
There is nothing in our current legal system or national moral climate that will stop polygamy from becoming the next liberal cause:
Redefining marriage to include same-sex couples would jettison the rationale and logic behind prohibitions on polygamous marriages, according to several friend-of-the court briefs urging the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the traditional definition of marriage.
Ultimately, there is no principled basis for recognizing a legality of same-sex marriage without simultaneously providing a basis for the legality of consensual polygamy or certain adult incestuous relationships, reads one of the briefs, filed by the Christian legal group Liberty Counsel. In fact, every argument for same-sex marriage is an argument for them as well.
The Netherlands is a microcosm of how the homosexual community hoodwinked this once-Christian nation into accepting a perversion. A former Dutch Member of Parliament has admitted that polygamous marriage is the next logical step following the introduction of same-sex marriages in the Netherlands.
Serial polygamy is already accepted in America. People get married and divorced numerous times with little regard for marriage as a covenant bond. Hollywood types change wives like some people change shoes. Others dont get married but live together, have children out of wedlock, and few people bat an eye........
(Excerpt) Read more at politicaloutcast.com ...
Followed by incestuous marriage.
From a strictly Darwinian natural law of procreation, polygamy makes more sense then sticking a penis in some guys anus.
Heck, why not let people marry their favourite cartoon character or their car?
Next my neighbor will want to marry his collie. There's no end to the perversion once you start down the slippery slope of sinful fornication's.
Good article. Definitely worth the read.
Heck, why not let people marry their favourite cartoon character or their car?
The divorce rate would probably subside.
I want to marry my gun but I`m always out of bullets.
No. It's already been announced in their movement's name. Bisexual/Transgender. They will push for non-discrimination laws against Transexuals and transvestites. This will probably end up with all restrooms becoming coed.
"There is nothing in our current legal system or national moral climate that will stop polygamy...."
They will legally establish polygamy in order to kiss up to the muslims.
Next step is enforced male and female circumcision.
That's why it is an ancient practice, whereas homosexual "marriage" is unknown until recently.
I doubt that liberals will empower Mormons.
The neighbor marries his sheepdog,the dog then marries the sheep.The family reunion will be a zoo.
There doesn't have to be any physical contact. I know older siblings who live together and would like to take advantage of the federal marital deduction exemption.
I'd propose to Wile E. But he says they won't let him have Obamacare, they claim he lives a "too-dangerous lifestyle" ?? What the hell gives? What is it with these dambed politicians that give with one hand and take away with the other? Who do they think they are, anyway?
and her 500
deductions lovely children
I honestly don't see how the fight against normalizing homosexuality is going to survive. Even among people of my generation who didn't vote for Obama, the idea has become too socially unacceptable and I don't even bring it up because I'm tired of being accused of Fascism.
After years of Glee and pop culture showing gays as healthy, all-knowing, fashionable people instead of confused men with psychiatric issues to be resolved, it takes only a few minutes to hear, "Well the Nazis hated gays too!"
Hedonism is the spirit of the age.
Polygamy is hardly an ancient practice. It goes on now.
Serial monogamous relationships happen in Hollywood and the local dive bar all the time. 48% of births are out of wedlock.
I'm indirectly making your point.
The liberal push for polygamy will come out of concern for a different favored "victim" group: Muslims.
It's no longer possible to be a pervert anymore; because any filthy activity you can think up will put you in a protected class.
not only are we not marrying anymore, we're not having children....men's sperm counts are down as is their testosterone levels....and what's left of that is used up on internet porn....
some country....
eventually, they'll have to restrict the marriage thing because in tax situations, you can't have so many partners dividing up the booty....perhaps marriage will be disolved and civil unions rule the day....
then marriage can be for the religious...
You are an informed independent thinker.
Social engineering only works on your lazy friends who don't read.
It does work though.
The Bible has polygamy in it, as do many ancient writings. How many wives did King Solomon have?
King Ramses in ancient Egypt had thousands of children.
He needed a staff just to keep track of the names and birthdays.
Polygamy is already going on. In a demented, sad and unsustainable way.
Just because it's not "legal" doesn't mean it's not happening.
Antonio Cromartie has nine children with eight women in six states.
That's one more kid than the eight he haltingly listed last month when asked to name his children on HBO's reality show "Hard Knocks."
Maybe the oversight is because his pressures as a pro football player pale against the soap opera of his life off the field. He juggles daddy duties for a 6-month-old girl with his wife, model Terricka Cason, plus eight kids up to age 5 from women he knocked up.
At only 26, Cromartie's conquests range from a then-17-year-old girl in his hometown Tallahassee to a lawyer and beauty queen.
The 6-foot-2, 210-pound former San Diego Charger has left a nationwide trail of paternity suits, visitation agreements and child-support orders totaling tens of thousands of dollars a month. Last March, the Jets fronted him $500,000 of his salary to pay at least $25,000 in arrears and other custody-related costs. He's in the final year of a five-year, $12.5 million contract.
"All that glitters really isn't gold," ex-fiancée Rhonda Patterson, a corporate lawyer and former Miss Black North Carolina, said of the charismatic Cromartie, who fathered her 2-year-old daughter, London.
This guy is a train wreck. Good luck to the baby mamas trying to collect $7,000/mo child support when he is injured and his career is over.
You may be speaking to one of his descendants.:-)
I know. My point is that the liberal push for "legal" (government approved) polygamy will be from the Muslims.
Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack your post.
But polygamy makes more sense in the natural order of human nature than gay marriage.
No.....pederasty is next——it has always about lowering the age of consent to 12 like in European countries===that age that male homosexuals focus on——since the beginning of that warped, immature idolator lifestyle (fixation on the latency period).....and the habituation continues since the sexist days of Sodom.
You may be right. France is our guinea pig in the experiment. It probably won't end well.
But the Muslim guys have to marry multiple women. They don't know what their wives look like until they take their burqa off. No wonder why they are angry and want to blow stuff up.
Allah, why you curse me with another ugly fat one who won't stop talking?
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Then "Open Marriage". The other term for "open marriage" is "single".
I wanted to mention Christie is on the run over a dem measure to outlaw parents giving their kids therapy to be straight. He is being called an extremist just for being undecided.
So now he's said he opposes the therapy he's just slightly worried about the pesky First Amendment and parental rights.
He is a craven disaster.
A professor at Auburn University was giving a lecture on Paranormal Studies.
To get a feel for his audience, he asks, How many people here believe in ghosts?
About 90 students raise their hands.
Well, thats a good start. Out of those who believe in ghosts, do any of you think you have seen a ghost?
About 40 students raise their hands.
Thats really good. Im really glad you take this seriously. Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost?
About 15 students raise their hand.
Has anyone here ever touched a ghost?
Three students raise their hands.
Thats fantastic. Now let me ask you one question further...Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?
Way in the back, Ahmed raises his hand.
The professor takes off his glasses and says Son, all the years Ive been giving this lecture, no one has ever claimed to have made love to a ghost. Youve got to come up here and tell us about your experience.
The Middle Eastern muslim student replied with a nod and a grin, and began to make his way up to the podium.
When he reached the front of the room, the professor asks, So, Ahmed, tell us what its like to have sex with a ghost?
Ahmed replied, Damn, from way back there I thought you said goats.
Lois Griffin! Wow! What an actor!
in early times, times of the Old Testament, I'm sure that rich men took many wives...
but Jesus changed that all by HIS coming....that is what HIS coming was all about...changing from the stone age hedonistic ways....
Some go to family reunions to pick up chicks. Now there'll be people going to zoos.
Have you noticed how the homosexual marriage wave is much like the abortion wave of the '70's? MANY Democrats, including Al Gore, Jesse Jackson began as pro-life, but within a decade, nearly the whole party was pro-abortion and those few remaining pro-lifers were ostracized.
just more unraveling of society.....it is what the libtards truly want
Recently? That part is not true. The early Roman Empire had religious ceremonies for same sex partners. Civil unions date back to China and the Zhou dynasty. I am not advocating at all just pointing out some facts.
It won't stop there .The sickos are already getting beyond disgusting.
Yale hosts workshop teaching sensitivity to bestiality
Why not let the Mormon Cultists be legally married? That way the extra wives have some legal standing and the kids some link to the father. They will do it anyway—this way it can be controlled. Moslems too—the Koran gives em-—4 wives. but divorce is simple. Anwar Sadat the former president of Egypt, had two.
Yes, with the lowering of the age of consent to perhaps 12 .
Followed by man-boy term marriages where men are legally allowed to copulate with young boys under the age of twelve. Once the child reaches thirteen, the marriage term is ended allowing the older man to "marry" another prepubescent boy.
On the animal front, dogs and cats will be allowed to live together.

Apple: The Biggest Stock Market Tragedy of 2012
You can say that about most stocks. No doubt. The timing of your buys and sells dictates how much of a time period's gain or loss you realize. If you bought and sold at the right times, you could have made significant profits on even a beaten-down name such as Pandora (P) as it got whacked around for myriad reasons, including Apple radio rumors .
So a year-to-date gain or loss doesn't say much about individual positions.
In Apple's case, the stock may be up 26% year to date, but it's down 9% over the last month, 26% over the last three months and 11% over the last six months.
If you bought at the beginning of the year, you're up 26%. If you bought in middle or end of September, you're down by that much. However, if you bought at the beginning of the year and sold at the top in September ($705.07), you banked a whopping 71% profit.
Sometimes you need to see the numbers to put a stock, particularly a closely followed and volatile one like AAPL, in the proper context.
For some longs who bought in 2012, this has been an amazing year. For others, not so much. And that's really the biggest stock market-related tragedy of 2012.
It's tragic because AAPL crashes and -- the media loves saying this -- "enters bear market territory" from time to time for all the wrong reasons. It's the perfect example of the emotional inanity that rules the stock market. That makes it a place people fear. And that's too bad because, even in this circus, there's money to be made in equities. In fact, all else being equal, there's no better place to park your cash if you have discipline and a long-term time horizon.
AAPL should be the stock that you could have held throughout 2012 and never worried about. If you did hold, you made money. Yes, that's true. But many investors certainly experienced anxiety as this thing bounced around.
If you decided to buy as AAPL was surging, you absolutely should not be down 26% today. No way. Flat maybe. Biding your time in the high $600s would be acceptable, but faced with the reality of dropping below $500 a share, that's tragic.
The following three stories take you through what a joke the last part of the year has been:
"Apple Selloff About A Year Too Soon"
"Investor Alert: Wall Street Analysts Screwing You on Apple"
"Apple Analysts Should Be Ashamed of Themselves This Morning"
What started as little more than capital gains tax-related selling snowballed, thanks to a financial media searching for answers and looking to the wrong people -- Wall Street analysts -- for them.

Apparently, Asus only plans to sell around 1.5 – 2 million of tablet PCs in 2011, the company revealed at an investment conference. The company plans "to achieve double digit market share of the non-Apple platform tablets in 2011".
At present the company has three Google Android "Honeycomb" tablets in the roadmap – the Eee Pad Transformer, a hybrid netbook-tablet; Eee Pad Slider, a tablet with a sliding out keyboard; Eee Pad Memo, a hybrid between e-book reader and a tablet. In addition, the company has Eee Slate that will be based on Windows 7 operating system.
While the portfolio of Asustek's tablets is broad, it may not be that competitive against media tablets like Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab, HP Touch Pad and others. For example, Eee Pad Transformer – the device that can be transformed easily into a thing similar to other slates – will cost €399 - €599 ($539 - $809), which is higher compared to rivals. The device is projected to be released in March. As a result, Asustek's conservative plan may be fully justified.
Asustek shipped 21.6 million mainboards, 10.9 million notebooks and 6 million Eee PC netbooks in 2010. The company plans to increase sales of mainboards by 5% to 22.68 million, ship 14 million notebooks and 6 million Eee PC products in 2011.

Ray Krone, death row exoneree, to speak at MC
Ray Krone, death row exoneree, to speak at MC
Contact: Stacy Rector, Director, Tennesseans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty
731-445-4803; firstname.lastname@example.com
(Nashville, TN) Ray Krone, the nation's 100th death row exoneree, will share his harrowing story of being convicted of and sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit on Thurs., Sept. 19 at 7:30 p.m. in the Center for Campus Ministry at Maryville College. Rev. Stacy Rector, Director of Tennesseans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (TADP), will also reflect on the problems with Tennessee's current death penalty system that leads to the possibility of wrongful convictions. This event is co-sponsored by the Maryville College Center for Campus Ministry, Tennesseans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, and Witness to Innocence.
Ray was an Air Force sergeant and later a mail carrier before finding himself on Arizona's death row for the 1991 murder of Kim Ancona. The case against him was based largely on circumstantial evidence and the testimony of an "expert" witness who claimed bite marks found on the victim matched Ray's teeth. In 1992, he was sentenced to death. He was granted a retrial in 1994 only to be convicted again because of the same evidence. In 2002, Ray became the 100th person exonerated when a court found that DNA at the murder scene pointed to another man, Kenneth Phillips.
Ray currently serves as the Director of Membership and Training at Witness to Innocence, the nation's only organization composed of, by, and for exonerated death row survivors and their loved ones. Ray has also recently moved to Tennessee. He devotes his life to improving the criminal justice system that failed him by speaking to hundreds of groups, including numerous universities and law schools across the country, as well as to state legislatures and governmental bodies in England, Sweden, Italy and France. He has been featured in publications and on many radio and television programs, including People and Parade magazines, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times and Good Morning America.
"I would not trust the state to execute a person for committing a crime against another person," Krone says. "I know how the system works. It's not about justice or fairness or equality. Any chance I can, whether I start with one or two people or a whole auditorium filled with people, I'll tell them what happened to me. Because if it happened to me, it can happen to anyone."
Since 1976, 142 individuals have been exonerated from death rows across the country when evidence of their innocence came to light. In Tennessee, three death row inmates have had all charges against them dropped or were found not guilty in new trials, making them all death row exonerees. Gussie Vann had all charges against him dismissed in 2011 for the 1992 murder of his daughter. Paul House and Michael McCormick both fought their wrongful convictions in Tennessee for 20 years before new evidence—including DNA—finally led to their release from death row.
"The questions raised by the death penalty touch the heart of what we mean by justice in this country, and how justice is carried out," said the Rev. Dr. Anne McKee, Maryville College campus minister. "Hearing Ray Krone's story provides an important opportunity for reflection and dialogue for the campus and the community."
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. Total enrollment for the fall 2016 semester is 1,197.

Fulton Remembers 9/11
"I think that more people need to remember this, and it's something I'll always remember," said Julia Spearman, a Presbyterian Manor resident.
Reverend Bruce Williamson of New Hope Baptist Church thanked the emergency workers and soldiers for their service and spoke about how Americans need to be reminded of the tragedy.
The Fulton Police and Fire Departments participated in nine memorials in the year following the attacks. This year, a much small ceremony at Presbyterian Manor was the only invitation either department received.

About the Author: Michael Coady serves as Marine Security Guard (MSG) Branch Chief in the Bureau of Diplomatic Security.
This Veterans Day, as the nation honors the men and women who have served so selflessly in our armed forces, I urge my Department of State colleagues to pay special tribute to the members — past and present — of the Marine Corps Embassy Security Group.
Referred to informally as Marine Security Guards (MSGs), today more than 1,300 of these dedicated, specially trained Marines are deployed worldwide to help protect U.S. embassies and consulates around the globe.
Since 1949, Marine Security Guard detachments at U.S. diplomatic posts abroad have worked closely with the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Diplomatic Security to protect and safeguard American diplomacy.
They perform their mission in a number of ways and often under a variety of challenging, and sometimes dangerous, circumstances.
Marine Security Guards stand duty 24 hours each day, seven days a week, at U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide. They staff the all-important Post One communications operation at our embassies, thereby ensuring vital emergency communications are properly routed during times of emergency or heightened alert. As such, they perform an essential role in protecting and ensuring the operation of U.S. diplomacy abroad.
MSGs protect classified information and equipment from unauthorized disclosure, and provide internal security protection for U.S. citizens and U.S. Government property under a range of circumstances, up to and including hostile assaults.
They respond immediately to crises large and small, including street demonstrations, bomb threats, fires, nuclear/biological/chemical threats, and intrusion attempts.
Marine Security Guards have helped protect State Department facilities against anti-American riots, helped evacuate U.S. diplomats and their families during times of crisis, extinguished fires in U.S. embassies, and saved countless lives abroad from civil unrest, earthquakes and floods.
The courage and support of the MSGs has been constant in every situation.
MSGs stood side-by-side with their State Department colleagues during the horrific 1998 bombings of the U.S. Embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam. They responded immediately to the 2004 terrorist attack on the U.S. Consulate in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where they helped prevent the attackers from entering the consulate building. And they were with us in Belgrade in 2008, when thousands of angry rioters sought to burn down the U.S. Embassy.
Time after time, the MSGs have shown themselves to be a solid line of defense for American diplomacy. Without them, we in the Foreign Service could not conduct American diplomacy abroad.
So on this Veterans Day, I ask that all Americans remember and honor the contribution of the dedicated and courageous professionals of the Marine Security Guard program who have fulfilled their duty by ensuring that the United States can conduct diplomacy safely and securely around the world.
Marine Security Guards, we thank you for your service and sacrifice, and we salute you!
Jessica in Tennessee writes:
Thank you so much for serving our country as Marine Security Guards at our Embassies. Be safe and thank you sooo very much for your service.
Aaron in Virginia writes:
Thanks very much for your post. As a State Department FSO, I join you in paying tribute to the men and women of the United States Marine Corps. You mentioned Nairobi, Dar, and Jeddah as places where Marine Security Guards (MSG) have served honorably. I'd like to mention one other embassy of note: Tehran.
A few years ago, I had an opportunity to attend a gathering of the MSG Detachment who served at our embassy in Tehran, Iran, in 1979. Those brave Marines were among the 53 Americans held hostage for 444 days. The keynote speaker at the dinner was a MSG who recounted his experiences during that harrowing year of captivity. His speech served as a reminder that our Marines remain "always faithful" to the end, and deserve our thoughts and prayers.
Not just on Veterans day, but every day.
Anna in Washington, DC writes:
God bless our Marines and all Americans serving overseas. We thank you and salute you!
Kelsey in Nebraska writes:
I just wanted to say that my baby brother is a MSG currently serving in Tokyo. He has had his fair share of what I would think is scary embassy duties already at a tender age of 22. He just recently got to Tokyo after a year over in Kabul. I feared everyday for him, but I know he is a very smart man and that the Marines train him very well for all that he needs to know and I am VERY proud to call him my brother. He has always put the safety and thought of others before himself. So if anyone knows Sgt. Kaiser tell him his family is VERY proud of him!
Donald in Virginia writes:
What did President John F. Kennedy once say, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country! The United States Marines answer the call of duty, proud and trained Warriors! They have the toughest training and well equipt to handle any crisis foreign or domestic to serve our Armed Forces. I believe they are tough as nails and have our Admiration for the work they do in the field. "Gunhoe and brave" above all they have the courage under fire that keeps Freedom Alive!
God bless the United States Marine Corps and the United States Navy "Iron men and wooden ships" 21 GUN SALUTE!!!

I am not sure I ever thought the day would come when I'd hand one of my kids a hot glue gun and sit back and take pictures but it did and look at the results! Inspired by Kandinsky's Squares with Concentric Circles , this recycled project was a big hit with my 6 year old who took the responsibility of using a hot glue gun very seriously. One of my goals with my son right now is for him to take his time with school work and having a project that forces him to slow down and pay attention is a great way to practice this without nagging. Our glue gun is not a low temp but they are available so this project could be done by younger kids if you feel it's safe and can properly supervise. We made sure my daughter was napping so that she wouldn't want to "help" us at our house this was a big kid only project.
- Gather your materials. You will need a hot glue gun and extra glue sticks, jar lids and bottle tops in various colors and sizes, and a card board box lid ( ours is a gift box from Christmas that lost it's mate to an overzealous gift opener) . We also used a plastic plate and cutting board .
- Start by warming up your glue gun and having your child practice squeezing out the glue, holding the gun properly and avoiding the hot glue .He was so careful .
- Lay out your first set of circles. He decided on 2 rows of 3.
- Flip over and add the glue. Be careful not to touch the glue through the lid even through the lid it can get hot!
- Keep gluing adding layers and layers of lids. I think this project really made him feel special and grown up. He knew his sister could NOT do this and that really made him feel proud and encouraged him to take special care choosing which lids would look the best. I just like watching him take his time creating.
- I thought we were done but he wanted to add a big glob of glue on each stack. This actually took a great deal of control and worked on his hand eye coordination skills. There is always layers of learning in a project hiding under the fun.
- Let dry and display. Ours has proudly been above our TV for days.
You don't have to live within walking distance of one of the world's best museums to expose your kids to art you just need a few great books. These picture books about art are a wonderful place to start. Check out our post about art books for kids here.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (1519 votes).
Date of review: September 26, 2009
In short: its a great day out and a brilliant atmosphere and experience Date of review: September 26, 2009
In short: Great But HotIn full: Well done to all again this year, but the Powerade bottles were not as good as the pouches from last year. The bottles were to big and you could trip on them on the road, still half full. The finish was better this yeat and the tented village had improved.The Fitness show is not as good as years gone by, could be improved by revamping it.Great run for the children on sat.Both will be back next year.Date of review: September 26, 2009
In short: One of my favourite races. But not my all-time favourite.In full: Done this for 17 years so its more like a addiction. As ever, well organised. Same route with the long road and challenging climbs. Great atmosphere and well worth doing. T-shirt - dull. Why can`t it be a technical shirt. £40 is steep for a big race despite not really value for money. But if you want to do this one, then that`s price you have to pay.Date of review: September 26, 2009
In short: Quite simply, a brilliant day out...In full: Organisation - first class. Crowds - first class. PB at the end - a nice surprise, but more brilliant for it!!An amazing event to be involved in - the only regret is that I didn't realise Nell McAndrew was 100 metres in front of me or I would have run a bit faster along the seafront at South Shields!!Roll on next year...Date of review: September 25, 2009
In short: Great race, great atmosphere, great people, great timeIn full: We had a great race and a good weekend,really enjoyed the race, the people were very friendly especially as we went through south shields,with all the sweets,oranges,cakes. I have one small gripe thats is if you want a certificate you have to pay £2.99 would have thought that could be in the race price.Date of review: September 25, 2009
In short: Stunning, what a day!!In full: Inspirational, organisation considering their was probably 250,000 people descending on Newcastle/South Shields was brilliant. Booked my travel with Nirvana Europe and all I had to think about was the race! Still on a high!!Date of review: September 25, 2009
In short: fantasticIn full: I was lucky to have won a place through the RW competition,but could nt get no accommodation so close to the run so thought twice about going.the atmosphere was superb all the way round. the red arrows display at the end was great.what a great day.Date of review: September 25, 2009
In short: With that many runners somethings will never be quite right, but walking 3 miles to the start line having parked on the official finish car park, catching the recommended bus etc. was a bit muchDate of review: September 25, 2009
In short: Another out of body experience !!In full: Loved it , 3rd time , pb !! Incredible crowds so encouraging ,like they feel it's their duty to keep you going ! But !! i had the worst portaloo experience of my life before the race . Then had to battle through all the drink stations and jump over loads of bottles , never seen it so bad . I felt it was dangerously over crowded with some horrid bottle necks . My friend fell at last 900 m , we don't know why , after medical attention 2 very kind spectators helped her to the finish !! Yes i will be back next year !!Date of review: September 24, 2009

Freecom, a Mitsubishi-owned supplier of external hard drives and portable storage devices, has unveiled the world's first external hard disk drive (HDD) that supports USB 3.0 interconnection standard, which will reach the market only sometimes next year. Thanks to SuperSpeed USB, the new external hard drive offers much higher PC-to-HDD transfer speed than previous-generation solutions powered by USB 2.0.
"The rapid transfer speeds of USB 3.0 are going to make sharing information easier than ever before, and with the rise of interactive web applications and new media showing no signs of slowing, it's arrived just in time," said Axel Lucassen, managing director of Freecom.
Freecom Hard Drive XS 3.0 offers transfer speeds of approximately 130MB/s with USB 3.0 interconnection, significantly faster than existing solutions. In fact, performance of the Hard Drive XS 3.0 is limited by speed of hard drive, not the interface. USB 3.0 theoretically offers transfer speeds of up to 500MB/s.
"We now can transfer a 5GB movie in just 38 seconds – it's unbelievably fast. Besides being SuperSpeed ready, the Hard Drive XS 3.0 also outperforms the competition in terms of security. Our USB 3.0 solution will have high-speed hardware encryption with AES 256 bit – this not only the fastest but also the safest storage solution on the market," said Mr. Lucassen.
In order to take advantage of high-performance interconnection, personal computers have to support USB 3.0 as well. At present there are no computers with USB 3.0, therefore, end-users have to install dedicated SuperSpeed USB 3.0 controllers into their systems. Obviously, the Freecom Hard Drive XS 3.0 is backwards-compatible and will work with all USB 2.0 enabled computers and notebooks, as well as forthcoming USB 3.0 models.
The Hard Drive XS 3.0 will be available in Europe from mid-November in 1TB, 1.5TB and 2TB capacities. Prices start at €119 ($173) for 1TB. Besides hard drives themselves, Freecom also offers USB 3.0 controller card for desktops for €25.95 ($37.8) and the Express controller card for notebooks for €29.95 ($43.6).

Here is an interesting observation from Fangcun tea market.
Today morning major Dayi distributor in Guangzhou dropped prices of few high end Dayi 2013 teas by more than half .
For Example ayi Qiaomu 301 with price tag of more than 20k rmb per jian , dropped down to 9k per jian.
Way too early to make any conclusions but it is very interesting what hides beneath .

About the Author: Michele Bond serves as the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Overseas Citizen Services in the Bureau of Consular Affairs.National Missing Children's Day has been commemorated on May 25 since 1983 when it was first proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan. It is the anniversary of the day in 1979 when 6-year-old Etan Patz disappeared from a New York street corner on his way to school. He is still missing.
On this day, the Office of Children's Issues at the State Department would like to call attention to the thousands of children who are abducted internationally by a parent or family member each year. Last year alone, parents abducted more than 2,000 children to and from the United States. Many of these children remain missing.
The Office of Children's Issues assists parents and family members in cases of international parental child abduction. We serve as the U.S. Central Authority for the 1980 Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction. Our efforts are complemented by the important day-to-day work of U.S. embassies and consulates working tirelessly to respond to this important issue.
For more information about international parental child abduction, please visit www.travel.state.gov/childabduction.

I think they should pay "Dog The Bounty Hunter" to find these kids. He probably could do a better job than most agencies. You might as well tell parents that we're not really interested in finding your children. If our government can't do it then pay someone who can.
Jamie in New Jersey writes:
I am glad to come accrossed this site. Thus it did bring some helpful information. However I am need of information regarding taking a child to another state with out the other parents content or knowing where they were staying. My case revoles some same issues and I had not known where my son was tooken and I did'nt have an address for him.I have not seen him in over a years times and I am trying to have him back in my life.
S.B. in India writes:
I think a great but It is awful! so I think a very bad new! Missing children are abducted by repeat offenders! They judges need tobe held accountable when thy do not give a life sentence to these freaks who offend! Maybe parents should be charged for allowing the children who walk places without an adult! We know this happens weekly - they are endangering their underage children!
Linda in the Philippines writes:
I could only sympathize with the family whose children is lost. It is hard for parents to not be able to protect their children.
Rudy in Georgia (U.S.A.) writes:
I want to make a comment regarding the abduction of children to Brazil. 2 weeks ago my two kids almost got abducted to Brazil. I was being lured by my wife to go down there for a few months. I was not aware of her plans until we had an argument over the trip then she left to a shelter and acuse me of domestic violence and asked for my children full custody.
I was lucky I found an email where she was asking legal advice from her own embassy in how to do it. The embassy was smart and did not reply to her regarding her request but instead directed her to their web site
Now I have to go to court on august and present that email to the judge, I also filed for divorce so my children can stay im here.

Microsoft Corp. on Wednesday finally confirmed that its next-generation Windows 8 operating system will be able to run both on traditional x86-based microprocessors designed by Advanced Micro Devices, Intel Corp. or Via Technologies, but also on various of ARM-architecture chips developed by tens of companies around the world.
During the announcement at the Consumer Electronics Show, Microsoft demonstrated the next version of Windows running on new system-on-chip platforms from Intel running on x86 architecture and from Nvidia, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments on ARM architecture. The technology demonstration included Windows client support across a range of scenarios, such as hardware-accelerated graphics and media playback, hardware-accelerated Web browsing with the latest Microsoft Internet Explorer, USB device support, printing and other features customers have come to expect from their computing experience. Microsoft Office running natively on ARM was also shown as a demonstration of the potential of Windows platform capabilities on ARM architecture. Quite naturally, third-party applications tailored for x86 were not a part of the demonstration.
"With today's announcement, we're showing the flexibility and resiliency of Windows through the power of software and a commitment to world-class engineering. We continue to evolve Windows to deliver the functionality customers demand across the widest variety of hardware platforms and form factors," said Steven Sinofsky, president of the Windows and Windows Live Division at Microsoft.
Even though Microsoft Windows for smartphones and personal digital assistants support ARM processors, versions of Windows for desktops and notebooks have never supported ARM. The decision of Microsoft to enable support of non-x86 architecture can be explained by the fact that ARM-based SoCs are getting more powerful and eventually they will not only be able to be used inside tablet PCs, but also inside of laptops or even desktops.
The Dutch subsidiary of Microsoft posted a note in late October, which reads that the world's largest software maker is working on Windows 8, but that the new operating system is not to be released for about two years. This is by far not the first time when Microsoft itself or its alleged employees reveal launch timeframe of Windows 8. Back in late 2009 it transpired that Microsoft planned to release Windows 8 in 2012 and information that emerged in early 2010 claimed that the new operating system was due in mid-2011.
One of the key features of Windows 8 will be very fast boot time or even instant-on feature, reports Neowin.net web-site. In addition, Microsoft plans to implement various performance optimizations in order to make the operating system (OS) more responsive. Considering that more and more computers now integrate web cameras, Windows 8 will feature facial recognition technology. Also, the next-gen OS will leverage usage of Bluetooth 3.0, USB 3.0 and other high-speed interfaces.
Microsoft will target four PC form-factors – desktop, laptop, all-in-one desktop and slate. It can be expected that Windows 8 graphics user interface will either be customizable or will be generally very flexible to satisfy completely different users. Given that tablets are already getting popular, it may be crucial for Microsoft to release Windows 8 rather sooner than later.

Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 18 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Meg's Perfect for me Over the years I've gained weight. I prefer not to show my arms. As the weather gets hotter, I wear looser and lighter clothes. These are wonderful to prevent chafing, keep my arms covered and help me feel comfortable. June 29, 2016
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Cool worker Very worm and soft I work in a cooler at work .I wear this under my work shirt very nice but would like it to be longer .the sleeves are a great length. May 5, 2016
Rated 3 out of 5Â by S.A.G. 2 issues, it's wonderfully soft, but shrinkage is bad I ordered the 3 pak of crew neck tops because in winter I need the extra warmth. I liked the price and the fact that they were long enough to tuck in. On arrival I tried one on and it was so soft and warm and cuddly. Also long enough for a good tuck in. So, before unpacking the others I decided to wash the first one. To my disappointment the body shrunk so much that it will just barely reach my waist and that is with some stretching. The arms are also extremely long before and after washing. I'm disappointed that I will have to exchange them. Hopefully I will be able to find another product as cuddly and soft as this one. But I'm confident that VCS will make sure I get an item that I will be perfectly happy with. April 15, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Doting daughter Perfect for my mom. My mother(in Philadelphia, PA) is delighted with her warm tops and bottoms. She started wearing them upon arrival. February 28, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Glendy very warm I always wear thermal undershirts during the winter and thought, who would most likely have the warmest ones? Certainly someone from the north. When I received the shirts, they seemed too thin, but, after wearing one, realized it was warmer than what I had been wearing. I have always wanted to go to Vermont, so, through your advertisement, I got to visit. Thank you. February 3, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bugs Bunny Not heavy, but warm! I bought this product to wear as pajamas and even though they are not super heavy, they keep me toasty warm at night. I will also wear them under clothing for work. Great Product! November 9, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Furs &Feathers Long Sleeve Crew Neck Top I liked my first purchase of the 100% cotton long sleeve crew neck top so much that I immediately returned for more! With very sensitive skin which requires a comfortable, flat seam as well as a vascular condition which necessitates dressing in layers, this shirt was everything I needed and more. The shirt is the perfect thickness and I wear one of these each day, even during the hot, humid summer time in the Deep South. I wear an XS, but since Medium is the smallest choice for this product, I decided to give the medium a try. I do machine wash and hang to dry, but please note that shrinkage did occur, especially in the shirt length. I also wear the shirt inside out to take advantage of the smoothest seams. I highly recommend this product to all those shoppers searching for the perfect gift for someone with circulation issues or sensitive skin. September 30, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Jimmie812 Great item for cold weather These shirts were great to wear while visiting New York in January. The only problem was I felt they were too short--barely could tuck into pants. January 26, 2015

(i am basing this conjecture because my DI gets a tuner signal from the high three strings but not from the lower three.) This may have coincided with a recent string change, but the bridge itself was not disturbed. Any troubleshooting tips?

Pre-Race Makeover - Page 2
This wasn't the extent of his training, however. Costello sought the advice of four-time XTERRA Trail Run Series regional champ, Richard Burgunder, who also lived in Pennsylvania. Having followed his blog, longtrailahead, Burgunder considered Costello "prolific in the adventure sports community." He was "absolutely enamored by [him] and ecstatic about finally meeting the might beard guy."
Photo Courtesy of XTERRA
Guided by the experience, Burgunder created workouts for Costello that focused on technical terrain and uphill running. Costello has been training for the race four to five days a week all year, cross training with swim and bike sessions.
Burgunder, who plans to compete at the XTERRA World Championship Trail Run as well, calls Costello's transformation "absolutely phenomenal. … Richard is the ideal role model and active lifestyle ambassador that everyone should look up to for motivation to better their lives." He demonstrates "immense determination, persistence and immaculate focus [in the face of] adversity."
Next month, when Costello arrives in Oahu, those adversities will include racing a full 10K farther than he has in any previous running event. The half marathon course will take runners through the trails at Kualoa Ranch, on which the race will take place, are normally closed to the public—though they've served as the backdrop for a number of television and cinematic productions, including Pearl Harbor, 50 First Dates, Jurassic Park and LOST. The XTERRA Trail Run World Championship will be the culminating event of the XTERRA Trail Run Series, which consisted of over 70 trail runs of various distances around the world, and will reward winners with over $10,000 in total prize money.
"My personal goals for the impending 21K World Championship race are simply to complete the entire distance, and to feel as though I have put my best effort into accomplishing it performance wise. …The Kaawa Valley venue looks absolutely amazing and beautifully challenging."

Samsung Electronics, the world's largest maker of flash and DRAM, on Tuesday announce that it had commenced the industry's first volume production of 3-bit-per-cell (3bpc), multi-level-cell (MLC) NAND flash chips using 30nm process technology. The chips will be used for memory cards, however, similar chips can be used to make inexpensive solid-state drives.
"Introducing cost-efficient, 30nm-class 3-bit technology widens our NAND memory solution base to make NAND even more enticing for increasingly diverse market applications. Our 3-bit NAND memory will support the development of more cost-competitive, high-density consumer electronics storage solutions," said Soo-In Cho, executive vice president and general manager of the memory division at Samsung Electronics.
3bpc MLC NAND increases the efficiency of NAND data storage by 50% over today's pervasive 2-bit MLC NAND chips. Samsung's new 30nm-class 3-bit MLC NAND will provide consumers with effective NAND-based storage that can be applied to USB flash drives in addition to a range of micro SD cards, the company indicated.
Even though 3bpc technology is very efficient and progressive, SanDisk and Toshiba are already producing 4bpc flash memory, which is even more efficient in terms of cost-per-bit.
The new 32Gb 3bpc 30nm MLC flash chip will be used will be used in NAND flash modules accompanied by exclusive Samsung 3-bit NAND controllers to initially produce 8GB micro Secure Digital (microSD) cards.

Here's how RW members rated this race (1044 votes).
In short: Faultless and friendlyIn full: A very well organised event with a good atmosphere. Lots of water stations, nice medal and t-shirt, good photos, enough spectators to give you a lift every now and then, good communication from organisers....nothing to bring it down really. The course is fast but is not exciting, however there were enough runners and supported to always have someone around for a chat. I will enter next year for sureDate of review: June 3, 2010
In short: rather flat course, 99% tarmac, Not the most exciting scenery, but very well organised and friendly!Date of review: June 3, 2010
In short: A real PB opportunity with great supportDate of review: June 3, 2010
In short: You don't have to do a big-city marathon to get that winning feeling...In full: It was clear from soon after the race was announced that the organisers were serious about putting on a professional race, and they succeeded. I got the impression that they understood what runners want out of a race in terms of the whole experience and delivered it on the day. If they were to run this in April, I would have to think very hard about whether I did London or this one.Date of review: June 2, 2010
In short: Its 26 miles at the end of the day, its never going to be easy!!In full: Although i regularly run shorter races, this was my first marathon and i was very pleased with the experience. The out and back nature of the run will not suit everybody but i found it alright, when i do another (which this race has inspired me to do) i will be able to compare to a circuit format.Was more suport than i was expecting although it was difficult for my girlfriend to see much of me due to not knowing the area or small roads leading along the route as the roads were shut-but all to the benefit of the runners so im not complaining! Water from bottles every 2 miles and Isotonic drinks every 4 or 5 miles i think were also appreciated.Only draw back for about 24 hours was that my results didnt appear on the results on the website. Took the wind out of my excitement of looking to see how i had done but an email later and it had all been corrected so no long term grudge!Best summary is that I would give it another go next year, well done for their first attempt!!Date of review: June 2, 2010
Date of review: June 2, 2010
In short: Excellent event, I really enjoyed it.Date of review: June 2, 2010
In short: Excellent organisation, fast course and excellent goody bag.Date of review: June 2, 2010
In short: Hopefully I'll have forgotten the tedium of the route by the time next year comesDate of review: June 2, 2010
In short: Well organised low key raceIn full: The support at the finish was great especially as I need some assistance after I finished. Also, I didn't have to wait too long for the post race massage. I found the route ok (ish) although it was hardly exciting. The supporters that turned out were great, really friendly and supportive, although there were not very many of them. The medal and t-shirt are great and it is the only t-shirt I've had from any race that I will be able to use in training (a nice technical tee).Collecting numbers on the day ok (could have collected on the day before but was not travelling until the day of the race) but would prefer them to be posted so that I can go through my usual ritual of pinning the number to my top the night before and not stressing when the flippin' thing would not go on straight an hour before the race.Date of review: June 2, 2010

Where is GSA in your neighborhood?
Where is GSA?
With facilities in more than 2,000 communities nationwide, chances are that at some point you have seen, passed by, or conducted business in a GSA building. Such a significant and widespread presence means that GSA's real estate actions—decisions on where to locate and relocate, how to design and orient our buildings, and how to interact with local streetscapes and stakeholders, among others—have an impact on the community experience of many Americans.
As GSA's real estate actions fulfill the workplace needs of Federal agencies, GSA also has the responsibility to consider local development goals. Federal law and executive orders establish this responsibility, and sound business practices reinforce its importance.

Talk about large databases!
Forget millions, WorldConnect gets you more than half a billion records. Just about everyone's family history is reflected here, to some degree, so certainly pay a visit to this powerful and free genealogical search tool.
WorldConnect is a collection of family tree information that follow the GEDCOM format -- Genealogical Data Communications. GEDCOM allows family tree data from different systems to 'talk' to one another through a common format.
The format was developed by the Mormon Church (the folks who brought you FamilySearch), and WorldConnect is housed at Rootsweb, which is run by Ancestry.com. This may well be Ancestry's largest database, but unlike its other, subscription-based resources, you can access this data at no charge.
Searching is easy. Just be sure to use the actual WorldConnect search boxes, rather than searching at the advertised sites on the page, which also have First Name/Last Name search boxes.
