|We did this as a backpack from the top down and spent a night in the canyon. We came through a day after a flash flood had swept through and the water was completely brown the entire way down, so you couldn't see where you were stepping. It seemed as if every time I quit using my hiking stick to see where I was stepping is when I'd find a pothole and fall in submerging myself. The highlight was sleeping under the stars in the narrows. One of the most memorable experiences I've had in the outdoors. The rest was pretty fantastic as well.

In short: Favourite race this yearIn full: Absolutely brilliant - so well organized! Many "unofficial" drinks stations on this hot day, plus sports drinks, jelly babies, fresh orange slices. And cakes and beer at the end! Unbeatable.Date of review: July 1, 2012
In full: great event. well organised with excellent medal and goody bag. Was told about the hills at the end but still not prepared for the last few miles. Was a real challenge but should be attempted.will be back next year when it will be sunny and warm!Date of review: July 1, 2012
In short: carlsberg dont do races but if they did this would be it ..In full: wow, what a fantastic race i can only guess that the organisers have looked at the best bits from other races and rolled them all into one and made this race...faultless from the parking, start, the route, water stations, lucozade stations, sweet stations, wet sponge stations, water sprayers, orange stations, fantastic marshalls, great medal and goody bag, beer, cakes, brass band, if you dreamed a perfect race this is it !!! oooh no just thought they missed something.. the topless blonde 38gg cheerleaders station :) oh well maybe next year :) to be serious i cant wait to do this again, what really made my day was meeting fellow ultra picnic runners from last saturday and swapping stories, so glad to hear some done it and some like me who failed, wonderfull race and getting a silver medal has got the feel good factor back in me....Date of review: July 1, 2012

In short: Fantastic organisation. Cake, beer and a brass band at the end - quality. A must run.Date of review: July 1, 2012
In full: Excellant Organisation as always. With numbers increasing year on year though i feel there is a need to supply more loos- there was a massive queue for the "number two" loos in the school building and in very cramped and smelly conditions! There was also a big queue for the three porter loos at the race start. Please could you consider more loos next year. Also the showers afterwards were not working properly- just a trickle of water from each one not sufficient to get clean after the muddy race- there were lots of moans about this. Let this not detract though from the superbly organised race with friendly marshalls plentiful drink stops, wet sponges and the delcious tea and cakes at the end- despite the rain! Date of review: July 1, 2012
In short: My first but not my lastIn full: As someone who has never run more than 8 miles before I decided to get a go and see how at I got.. The course around the lake was beautiful and I managed 10.5 before needing to walk a bit.. Which was handy as the hills had just arrived. excellent pre race info and great friendly marshals with lots of stations.. Finally made itup the last hill to discover my work colleague had made the cakes.. And they were every bit as good as promised .. Perfect cake at the end!!! Looking forward to coming back next year when I'll be more experienced and can run it allDate of review: July 1, 2012
In short: Fantastic event. Small but very well organised. The course is tough but really good fun. Views are great. Would have been even better it it had not rained!Date of review: July 1, 2012
In short: A really fun race with great organisationIn full: Any run that has cake and beer at the end is on to a winner. The event was well organised and had a good friendly atmosphere.

Energy expert Robert Rapier, the Chief Technology Officer at Merica International, writes and speaks about issues involving energy and the environment. Merica , a privately held energy company, is involved in a wide variety of projects, with a core focus on the localized use of biomass to energy for the benefit of local populations.
In this second of a two-part series on Competitiveness 2.0, one of Global Footprint Network's strategic programs, the Consumer Energy Report columnist and author of "Power Plays: Energy Options in the Age of Peak Oil" explains below how energy constraints are becoming so central to a nation's competitiveness.
Q: How does Competitiveness 2.0 fit into the energy debate?
A: Energy is emerging as one of the most immediate constraints for economic growth.
The average consumption of oil in the world—87 million barrels per day (bpd) in 2010 divided by a population of approximately 6.8 billion people—is 4.7 barrels of oil per person per year. In other words, if everyone on Earth was allocated an equal amount of oil, the 2010 allotment would have been 4.7 barrels per person. This is 79 percent lower than average U.S. consumption, and 54 percent lower than average EU consumption.
Perhaps counter-intuitively, developing countries are continuing to rapidly increase their consumption even in the face of much higher energy prices. Developing countries are presently below the average 4.7 barrel allotment, but their consumption is rising. Chinese consumption has risen to 2.5 barrels per person per year, an 80 percent increase in the past 10 years. At that growth rate—and assuming China's population remains constant—China will reach 4.7 barrels of oil per person in slightly over 10 years.
As oil prices rise, consumption in developed countries is likely to continue to decline in response. But developing countries will continue to increase their consumption, and that will strain the world's oil production systems and likely drive oil prices ever higher. This is understandable, considering that the majority of the world's population lives in developing regions, and they seek to raise their standards of living. Developed countries have done that by burning fossil fuels, and developing countries seek the same modern conveniences—dishwashers, televisions, computers, and cars—enjoyed by the developed world and which are currently powered mostly by fossil fuels.
To the extent that the decline in developed countries is a result of the adoption of alternative fuels and improved efficiencies, economic growth in developed countries may be able to continue. But if the decline comes as a result of people simply being unable to afford oil, economic difficulty in developing countries is practically assured.
Q: What are the energy options for countries? Where would you put your effort?
A: Some countries have rich fossil fuel reserves, and will likely to continue to rely on them. Russia and Canada are two examples of oil exporting countries that will have enough oil to fill the needs of their populations for many years. However, environmental pressures will continue to mount in a world in which climate change is a pressing concern. Thus, even countries with rich fossil reserves would be wise to devote funds toward developing alternative energy systems.
Tropical countries – particularly those with ample rainfall – have some opportunities to produce biofuels for their own populations, and in some cases may have excess that can be exported for cash. Sugarcane ethanol is one example of a crop that grows well in tropical climates, has a good energy return, and can provide cash for farmers in developing countries.
The biggest emphasis, however, should be on conservation. We have to squeeze wasteful energy consumption out of the equation. There are a number of techniques for achieving this, but not all countries have yet attacked this issue with the seriousness it deserves.
Q: Where do you see positive examples, where do you see most risks?
A: There are many countries that have adopted aggressive renewable energy programs. In some cases, these programs have been effective, but in others there have been unintended consequences. The expansion of oil palm plantations into the rainforests of SE Asia is an example. This will be the biggest risk; balancing the energy needs of the world against preserving the biodiversity and minimizing competition between food and fuel.

That economic impact aids Rockingham County again this year as the route brings the cyclists to Reidsville as part of the 16th annual Cycle N.C. ride. This will be the fourth time the event has stopped in the county and the second time in Reidsville.
Riders stopped Reidsville in 2001 and Eden in 2004. The last overnight stay for the cross-state cyclists was in 2011 at Mayodan's Autumn Creek Vineyards.
This year's journey begins in Sparta on Sept. 27 and covers an average of 60 miles per day until it ends Oct. 4 at the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum in Hatteras Village. Overnight host towns preparing to welcome participants and tourism dollars along with Reidsville include Mt. Airy, Oxford, Roanoke Rapids, Edenton and Manteo.
Reidsville will be the second stop along the route on Sept. 29, when as many as 1,100 cyclists arrive at the Jeff-Betsy Penn 4-H Center – the official Rockingham County host location.
Reidsville Mayor Jay Donecker expressed excitement about being a part of this year's "Mountains to Coast" ride. Donecker said hosting the event provides a great opportunity for the community and local businesses and he looks forward to welcoming the cyclists, their families and friends.
"We have great plans to welcome them to our area and showcase what Reidsville has to offer, including an evening concert at Market Square," Donecker said.
Robin Yount, vice president of tourism for the Rockingham County Tourism Development Authority, said the TDA worked closely with Reidsville leaders for several months on a proposal to host Cycle N.C. Yount said the event has both immediate and long-term significance for the county.
"There is significant impact to our community because it also gives us the opportunity to showcase our county to a group of people that we would normally not have the opportunity to reach," Yount said.
Cycle N.C participants will spend the night camping at the 4-H Center or area hotels. Yount said the TDA would host a welcome tent at the center and use Pelham Transportation to shuttle riders and guests to local restaurants and hotels.
"There's a large number of them that do opt to stay in local hotels," Yount said. "I already know that hotels in both Eden and Reidsville are already filling up for that night."
Shuttles would also transport participants to special events planned for them in Reidsville. In addition to the music, food and give-aways planned for the 4-H Center, Reidsville will host a concert for the riders and guests at Market Square that evening.
Cycle North Carolina is designed to promote healthy lifestyles, provide economic impact for the state's rural communities and promote the unparalleled cultural and geographical diversity of North Carolina. The event generally attracts participants from more than 20 states and Canada.
Chuck Hobgood is president of North Carolina Amateur Sports, which is the nonprofit organization that organizes Cycle North Carolina each year. Hobgood said many of the event's participants are executive level employees with their respective companies.
The ride enables these business leaders to discover future vacation destinations for their families, as well as sites for possible relocation of their companies or retirement locations.
Hobgood said he wants the cycling community to discover that North Carolina is not only open for business, but still the best place in the nation to visit.
Cycle North Carolina is the state's only cross-state, fully-supported ride. It is mostly a camping event, but many hotel and bed & breakfast accommodations in overnight towns across the state are already sold out.
Registration is still open for the event and riders can register for the entire distance, multiple-day options, or single-day options.

UBS Pleads Guilty, Pays $1.5 Billion to Settle Rate LIBOR Probe (Update 1)
Updated to include DoJ criminal charges against UBS traders
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Swiss banking giant UBS(UBS) said on Wednesday it will pay a total of $1.5 billion to global regulators to settle a multi-year interest rate manipulation probe. The bank's Japanese subsidiary also entered a rare guilty plea with the U.S. Department of Justice in relation to its rate-rigging.
Previously, the bank agreed to U.S. sanctions for facilitating billions in U.S. tax evasion and money laundering.
With the settlement and guilty plea, UBS joins a growing list of banking conglomerates that have had their reputation stained by rate manipulation and money laundering probes in 2012.
In June, Barclays paid $450 million to settle a host of rate manipulation allegations with that signaled widespread fraud in the market. The settlement eventually cost Barclays ex-CEO Bob Diamond his job and served as a first read on how large fines would be for a rigging scandal of a commonly used benchmark rate, the London Interbank Offered Rate , otherwise known as Libor.
Currently, U.S. banking conglomerates such as Citigroup(C) , Bank of America (BAC) and JPMorgan(JPM) have referenced Libor-related liabilities in litigation reserves or risk factors attached to earnings filings.
Earlier in December, HSBC(HBC) of Britain reached a record $1.92 billion settlement with U.S. authorities on a probe that alleged the bank facilitated billions of dollars of bank transfers to Iran and helped laundering money for Mexican drug cartels.
UBS record-sized Wednesday Libor settlement signals escalating fines in the probe, given the extent of alleged misconduct.
In its settlement, the Dept. of Justice and Britain's Financial Services Authority alleged UBS's misconduct stretched a half-decade between 2005 and 2010, and details released with the investigation paint a picture of collusion and misconduct.
Trader A: "If you keep 6s unchanged,
While emails show misconduct at various UBS units, the alleged violations occurred mostly in the bank's Japanese unit, and involved Yen-denominated Libor rates. The violations escalated with the 2008 financial crisis, as traders colluded to mask borrowing costs and financial struggles.
Libor and overnight rates denominated in other major currencies are a key reference rate for short-term bank funding, interest rate swaps, corporate bonds and even consumer financial products like adjustable rate mortgages. A manipulation of the rates may have unfairly impacted the borrowing costs of homeowners, governments and corporations, as banks allegedly tried to profit or curb losses tied to floating interest rates at the height of the financial crisis.

kasey wrote:I have a problem with the so-called gong-fu method which seems totally haphazard. I like consistency. This is what attracts me to mao cha as opposed to tuo cha. Loose leaf brewed at a consistent time and temperature. Is this not possible with this leaf as with most all others? Does anyone really know?
kasey wrote:I have some mini sheng tuochas from Upton Tea Co. that are my first venture at this. I brewed one in a guiwan at 185 degrees for starters after rinsing for 10 seconds and followed the gong-fu recommendations for length of brewing time. Sometimes mild, sometimes bitter, but never satisfying. I am admittedly lacking in the requisite expertise, but my feeling is that gong-fu is a style that must adapt itself to a compressed chunk of tea that simply resists being brewed. Last night I carefully crushed up another of these tuochas in a plastic bag with a hammer and brewed it at 170 degrees for 90 seconds. Voila! A bit of powder, but all the flavor you could want, consistent through four infusions. When I originally asked about brewing maocha it was because it appears to be loose leaf, which would probably age faster than a cake besides being easier to establish an optimum and repeatable brewing time and temperature. I have since bought a few cakes and a couple of 2011 sheng bricks which I'm thinking of breaking up before storing.

Does the perfect exercise for menopausal women exist? You bet it does.
Walking. Running. Spinning. When you�re deep in the throes of hot flashes and night sweats, exercise is probably the last thing on your mind. But staying active�or getting into the habit�might be your ticket to a happier, healthier menopause. Why sweat it out? Well, here�s one reason: A 2013 study published by Norwegian researchers found that greater physical fitness was associated with lower weight and slimmer waist circumference in women of menopausal age. But aside from warding off pesky menopause-related weight gain, exercising can actually bring relief to menopause symptoms. In a study from Penn State, when menopausal women took part in a four-month exercise regimen (walking or yoga), they reported a decrease in symptoms and improvements in mood and quality of life, compared to a non-exercising group. So the message is clear: get moving. But what�s the best exercise for women-of-a-certain-age? With the help of Becky Williamson, founder of lifeSport Fitness in San Jose, California�and a personal trainer who focuses on Boomer women, we�ve got the scoop: Strength workouts: �Exercising with weights is the best thing you can do to build muscle, burn fat, and maintain bone density,� Williamson says. For sedentary women, muscle mass decreases at a rate of 10% per decade. To reverse that statistic, build muscle, and stay slim, Williamson suggests doing a weight workout 2-3 times per week for 25 to 35 minutes, focusing on full-body exercises like squats with an overhead press. Weights should be heavy enough that muscles feel fatigued by the end of your final set. �That�s when you�ll start to see results,� she adds. Yoga and Pilates: Downward dog today and you could sleep better tonight. A 2013 study from The Journal of the North American Menopause Society found that women between the ages of 40 and 62 who did yoga for 12 weeks significantly improved their insomnia symptoms. More than that, yoga is great for strengthening your core, improving flexibility and relieving stress. Tennis: Whether doubles or singles, Williamson loves tennis because it gets your heart rate up and can also double as a strength workout, thanks to all of the squatting, lunging, and rotating motions you make when hitting the ball. Additionally, jumping provides impact on your joints that keeps bones strong, which is important as osteoporosis risk greatly increases after menopause. Swimming: If you have osteoporosis and need a workout that�s kind to your joints, hop in the water. Water workouts like swimming and water aerobics (there�s even aqua spinning!) can provide resistance without the impact. Additionally, it�s a great cardiovascular workout that torches calories and tones from head to toe. Walking: Even if you work out on a daily basis, you still have to be active. What counts as �active,� you wonder? Research shows that exercisers can have the same heart risks as non-exercisers if they spend most of their day sitting. So here�s another reminder about taking small opportunities to fit in activity�and reach those 10,000 steps. Pick up lunch from a restaurant that�s a five or 10-minute walk, walk a couple extra blocks to public transportation, or take your dog out after dinner.

- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/2 pound ground veal
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 teaspoons Baby Bam, recipe follows
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2/3 cup fine dried bread crumbs
- Glaze:
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon Emeril's Hot Sauce or other red hot sauce, optional
- Baby Bam:
- 3 tablespoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons salt
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
Position rack in center of oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, bell pepper, garlic, salt, basil, thyme, and black pepper. Cook, stirring, until the onions are soft and lightly golden, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, pork, and veal with a wooden spoon or with clean hands. Be sure to wash up afterward.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, heavy cream, ketchup, Baby Bam, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce, and whisk to combine. Add the egg mixture to the meat mixture along with the cooled vegetables and bread crumbs. Mix with your hands or a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined.
Transfer the mixture to a 9 by 5 by 3-inch loaf pan. Using your fingers or the back of the wooden spoon, smooth the top into a rounded loaf shape. Wash hands again.
To make the glaze, combine the ketchup, brown sugar, Worcestershire, and hot sauce, if desired, in a small bowl. Stir to blend. Spread the mixture evenly over the top of the meatloaf. Bake the meatloaf for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
Using oven mitts or pot holders, carefully tilt the pan away from you and drain off the excess grease from the pan, An adult should help you here. Be careful, hot grease can really burn. Slice to serve.
Place all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Stir well to combine, using a wooden spoon.

|Prince Premier Touch String Scores
|String Movement
|Playability Duration
Prince Premier Touch is no ordinary multifilament. For starters, it is built with a spiraled ribbon construction that is intended to mimic the twisted serosa ribbons of natural gut. It also happens to be one of the softest strings ever tested in our TW String Lab. Even more impressive was the "off the charts" comfort score it received from our playtest team. As with most soft strings, this one proved quite powerful, so much so that we had to exercise caution on our biggest swings. As for feel, we found Premier Touch to be extremely muted, a fact that should please the tennis elbow crowd as much it will frustrate the poly player who requires maximum feedback. We also think that advanced players looking to rip heavy topspin will likely have to sit this one out (unless they're looking for the perfect hybrid cross). Ultimately, though, Premier Touch definitely comes with a sizable upside for any player who wants easy access to depth coupled with maximum comfort.
Premier Touch definitely erred on the side of power over control. Chris explained, "This string had a decent level of pop to it -- even at the 64lbs I had it strung at! I was able to find easy access to depth, and even when it was strung at the high tension I was prone to launching a couple of shots here and there. I missed the control of my typical poly setup at first, but I quickly adjusted to the soft and powerful response of this string. Control for me was OK. I couldn't swing out as confidently as usual, and I preferred using this string in a hybrid with a stiff poly rather than in a full bed. It worked well as a hybrid because it added comfort without making things too lively."
Tiffani also had some problems taming the pop. She said, "This string swings to the side of power rather than control. When I spoke with my fellow playtesters after hits they noted the extra zip that was coming off my shots. I struggled to control the power because the super soft feel made it hard to tell how much power I was putting on the ball. Controlling my shots took a little bit of an adjustment period because the pillowy feel made it seem like the ball was hanging out on the strings for a long time."
While Premier Touch would make a great cross in a spin-friendly hybrid, our playtest team found it to lack sufficient bite in a full set. As a result, Tiffani had to rely on her flat mechanics. She said, "Although I hit a flatter ball, I struggled to hit spin with this string, which in turn didn't help my control problems. My slice shots seemed to sit up a bit more than usual, and I found myself emphasizing the brush up for topspin in an effort to get the ball to drop into the court. I had much better results when not trying to hit with spin."
"I found a mediocre level of spin off the stringbed with this one," said Chris, who typically plays with a shaped poly. "I'm used to getting more action on the ball and found myself leaving more room for error. I simply wasn't getting the hook and drop into the court I usually get on my shots."
For our playtest team, Premier Touch offered absolute comfort. Rumor has it Chris is still trying to find where the sweetspot ends. He said, "The most impressive aspect of this string was the level of comfort. Even at a high tension, this string pocketed the ball very well and felt soft and comfortable. From the sweetspot this string felt silky smooth. On off-center shots the string had enough give to absorb some of the shock, and it definitely had my racquet playing with a new level of comfort."
Reporting an almost unbelievable level of comfort, Tiffani said, "Without doubt, comfort is the outstanding feature of Premier Touch. I'm trying to find the best way to describe it. When strung in the mid-50s in the Volkl V1 Pro (an already comfortable racquet), it was borderline ridiculously soft. We upped the tension to 62 lbs and it was still soft, like I was hitting marshmallows, not tennis balls. I think I would like this best strung in a stiff racquet that needs softening up. This string can really handle the higher tensions and maintain absurd levels of comfort."
Our playtest team found Premier Touch to be very muted and lacking in the crisp feel they get from their typical strings. Tiffani explains, "This is the softest string I've hit -- probably ever. Even at higher tensions, this string is soft with a muted feel. I personally prefer more ball feel with a crisper response, but this string can make anything feel comfortable. If I were to use this more regularly I would likely hybrid it with a stiffer co-poly. If comfort is what you're seeking, you'll find it here."
As someone who likes the stiff feel of polyester, Chris preferred the feel of Premier Touch as a hybrid with a co-poly. He said, "The feel was very, very soft with this string. It felt a tad muted to me. Whereas natural gut feels soft and crisp at the same time, this one had the softness but lacked the crispness. Again, it worked better for me in a hybrid with a poly. The stiffer poly firmed up things enough that the stringbed offered a nice blend of feel, comfort, control and power. This could quickly become a solid cross string option for me in poly hybrids."
Like all strings, Premier Touch definitely lost its fair share of tension, but this wasn't a deal breaker for Tiffani. She said, "The main characteristic of this string for me is comfort, and that's something that never changed from first hit to last. Like many multis, this one does fray, but it didn't change the playability at all. There was also some noticeable tension loss, but again, the soft feel and easy power were maintained so the string remained playable for me."
Also finding decent playability was Chris, who added, "This string lasted pretty well. There was some initial tension drop, but the playability never dropped off dramatically. I was able to get a little more than five solid hours of doubles on the full set without breakage. More singles play had me sawing through the strings a little quicker, but all in all the durability was impressive."
Chris - "In a full bed, this makes a great option for classic advanced level players seeking a very soft and comfortable response. Any beginning through intermediate players looking to soften the response of a stiff racquet would also like this string. It will take some of the sting out of shanked shots, which is another huge plus for beginners who may not yet hit the ball cleanly on a consistent basis. I also found it to be a great cross string option in a poly hybrid. As a hybrid, this string makes a great choice for anyone looking to increase the comfort and power slightly over a full poly setup."
Tiffani - "Anyone who is looking for comfort, look no further. This would soften up the stiffest feeling racquet."
Tiffani - "It's the most comfortable string I've hit to date."
Chris - "I liked the comfort the most, and how it livened up a hybrid setup."
Chris - "Too soft and muted in a full set."
Tiffani - "It's too soft and muted for my taste. It was just too much of a good thing in a full setup."
Tiffani - "I thought Tecnifibre NRG2 was soft, but this has an even softer feel. Another multi that comes to mind is Dunlop Silk. All of these strings are comfortable, but Premier Touch trumps both of these in comfort. The power and spin levels are comparable among the three, however."
Chris - "This string is one of the softer playing synthetics I've hit with. While not quite as soft playing as Ashaway Monogut ZX, this string had vastly better feel and did not have the annoying ping that Monogut had on every contact."

There are certain categories of people that, when they get in trouble with the law, garner a lot of headlines. Movie and TV stars (see Sheen, Charlie, and Lohan, Lindsay) seem to always attract media attention when they get into even a whiff of trouble. Likewise with professional athletes and high-profile business people, not to mention elected officials.
Add pilots to the list.
Whenever a pilot gets involved with law enforcement, it's usually bad, and it tends to put the media in an uproar. The reasons are pretty simple. First of all, unlike the people listed above, we pilots actually have to worry about our actions not just affecting others, but also causing harm, destruction, and death. In short, people trust us with their lives.
Remember the crew of the America West flight in Miami that was actually taxiing out for departure before being called back to the gate, where they were found to be drunk? The outrage was justified and real. Likewise with other crew members who have shown up to the airport under the influence. Every airline has their own policies for handling this sort of behavior, but I don't know of any airline that has adopted the FAA's eight hour bottle-to-throttle rule; it's more like 12 hours, and the 0.04 percent allowance given by the FAA is likewise superseded by a zero-tolerance policy. The flip side is that most airlines and pilot unions will do whatever they can to help get pilots into treatment programs and put their lives back on track when they ask for help. Further, they will also gladly accept a sick call and a cancelled flight over having crew members try to fly when they shouldn't.
Social drinking is fine when it is done responsibly. Pilots with enough time on a layover frequently have a beer or cocktail with dinner, and the overwhelming majority act responsibly. That extends to their crew members cutting them off when necessary.
But it isn't just drinking that causes problems. Remember the pilot who was found running naked through the woods after a dalliance with a flight attendant a few years ago? I know of pilots who have done one of the following: urinated in public; got caught trying to steal something from the clubhouse of a major league baseball team (he lost a fight with the police); been arrested and charged with corruption of a minor and having intercourse with girls as young as 13; failed a drug test. Another accidentally shot his gun in the cockpit of a USAirways flight. He wasn't arrested, but he had some explaining to do.
People get arrested for mind-numbingly idiotic actions every day. But with pilots, there is a fascination with what we do. In addition to the responsibilities of our jobs/hobbies, we are expected to have above-average intelligence and the ability to use common sense in everyday matters. We are viewed as fairly straight-laced, conservative people who simply do stupid things. We have, like it or not, an image and a stereotype.
Whether you fly professionally or not, or just aspire to, accept that others have certain expectations, and if you make a mistake, you will likely face a harsher judgment from others, if not from the law. Further, if you are hoping to make a living as a pilot, bear in mind that in the post-2001 world, there are number of criminal activities that will render such a career impossible, as you will not be able to get the appropriate security clearances.
Remember, too, our individual actions reflect on all of us, not just ourselves.–Chip Wright

Recast "Me" Time
There was a time in my life when I not only had to have a "current read" on my bookshelf, I had to have the next book lined up and ready to go. God forbid I finish one book and be unprepared to start the next! Nowadays, if I read two books a year I consider that a victory. Between work, the kids, the house and the all-too-occasional snafu that throws all of that out of balance, finding time to dig into a great book feels like self-indulgence.
But what if, instead of considering the latest Khaled Hosseini novel as "me time," I considered it "personal development," a spin on workplace "professional development?" At work, taking time to hone your skills is lauded as a way to bring value to the company and propel you to the next level of your career. It's considered an effective use of time, not a leisurely one. What if I took that approach not only to reading, but to finding time to exercise or finish that photo album?
"The people who get ahead at work value their own development and make sure they're always thinking, 'what's my next step?'" says time management expert Jan Yager, Ph.D., author of "Work Less, Do More." "They're thinking about how they can use their time to develop themselves. If you make self-fulfillment a priority and realize that 'me' time is not selfish, it will make you a better [person and] parent."
Recast "me" time as time for personal development, and consider it an investment in yourself and your family (if you're healthy, happy, and successful, your family will benefit too).
Schedule Social Time
At work, you know you have to be at a staff meeting every Monday morning. Similarly, blocking out time on the calendar to have fun with family or friends--even if you don't yet have a specific plan--helps ensure it will happen. "Too often the weekends [slip by] and, by the time it's over, you're left wondering 'What did I really do that was a wonderful thing?'" says Yager.
Schedule a babysitter for every Friday night and make it date night. Inform the family that Sunday morning is when everyone will sit together at the breakfast table. Plan lunch with a friend every Saturday. By scheduling social time you increase the odds it'll actually happen.
Hire Help
If a project at work is going to take more time than you have the manpower for, you bring in extra help to ensure you meet your deadline. Do the same at home. "I was getting annoyed with my family because I was spending all of my spare time cleaning up their messes," says Karla Trotman, 37, owner of BellyButtonBoutique.com in Wyncote, Penn. "So I hired a cleaning person. It wasn't as expensive as I thought it was going to be. She is far more effective than I ever was and is super fast. I now have free time to spend on myself, as opposed to scrubbing a toilet."
Set Clear Expectations
Just like being upfront and firm about deadlines helps projects flow more smoothly at work, the same can happen at home. "Set deadlines for important household tasks like cleaning up the garden or completing homework," says Jessica Oman, 34, founder of Write Ahead in Vancouver, B.C. "This makes the expectations clearer for everyone involved and makes it more likely that things will get done efficiently and within a reasonable amount of time. You can even offer a reward, like an extra $5 on allowance, for finishing work ahead of schedule, similar to offering a discount for invoices that get paid early."
Multi-task Where Possible
You don't have time to exercise? Or read a book? Do both at once. Load the latest bestseller onto your smartphone and listen while out for a run. Also consider multi-person-tasking. Need to fold the laundry? Pull your tween away from the tube and have her fold alongside you. You get a chore done, teach a valuable skill and, with any luck, get some girl-talk time.
Similarly, if you are longing for some time with your girlfriends but just can't make time for dinner out, invite them along for the tasks you have to do. If you have to hit the mall to buy a new pair of shoes or are in desperate need of a fresh manicure, use that time to catch up with a friend too.
Prioritize your Tasks
If your to-do list is too long, you'll be tempted to stuff it back in your purse and curl up on the couch with a pint of ice cream. Instead of being overwhelmed by all you can't do, prioritize the most important items on the list and get those done first. "What is the most important thing you need to get done at night after work?" says Yager. "If the answer is, 'Read to my child,' then make sure that's what you do before you tackle anything else."
Make Long-Term Plans
At work, sales plans stretch years into the future. So should your dreams. Even if it'll take you two years to save up the money for that trip, Yager says, having something to look forward to can completely change your attitude. Develop a budget and watch with pride as that vacation account grows each month. Start reading travel magazines, clipping out pictures of your dream-escapes. Before you know it you'll stop stewing about what you wished you were doing and instead fantasizing about what you will be doing sooner than you think.

How to Handle Those Mortgage Rate Add-Ons
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- With the Federal Reserve's decision last week to stay the course on its low-rate policy, mortgage rates have been drifting down. But they remain a good deal higher than they were last spring, and you might end up paying a good deal more than the rate you see advertised.
How come? Advertised rates usually involve the best case -- the rate offered applicants with the highest credit ratings, buying homes in the best locations, and so on. Add-ons reflect higher risks associated with certain factors.
To find the rate you'll end up with, you'll have to talk to the lender, and perhaps fill out an application. But here, from The Mortgage Professor website , are a few examples of how add-ons can boost the rate.
Let's say you applied for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage advertised at 4.375% for a $300,000 home with a 15% down payment. ���
If the home were in California rather than Texas, the rate would increase by 0.018%, reflecting slightly higher risk to the lender because California's laws on foreclosures are kinder to the homeowner. Making a smaller payment, so the loan was $255,000 instead of $225,000, would increase the rate by 0.033%.
The best rate assumes a top-quality FICO Score of 800. If your score were only 620, expect the rate to increase by 0.401%. If this were a cash-out refinance , rather than a no-cash refinance , you'd also pay an additional 0.401%.
For a loan on a condo rather than a single-family home, you'd pay an extra 0.1%. For an investment property rather than a primary residence, the rate would go up a full 0.502%. And opting for a 60-day lock-in period on the rate, rather than 30 days, would boost the rate by 0.033%.
If you were unfortunate enough to have all these add-ons, your rate would be 5.863%, not 4.375%.
These are just examples, of course, and any given lender's premiums could be different. But if any of these factors apply to you, you will likely pay more, because lenders must abide by the standards set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac , which back most new mortgages these days.
Fortunately, you do have control over some of these factors.
"For example," says the mortgage professor, Jack M. Guttentag, "a borrower with a credit score of 659 could reduce her mortgage price by raising her score by only one point, which might be possible merely by shifting some credit card balances from one card to another.
"Another borrower might find a less-costly way to raise cash once she realizes that the higher price of a cash-out refinance is paid on the entire new loan amount, not just on the loan increase required for the cash advance."

IBM, Canonical and Simmtronics today announced the Simmbook, a netbook designed specifically for emerging markets will be available at a low price of $190. The Simmbook is preloaded with IBM Client for Smart Work, which includes IBM Lotus Symphony, access to IBM LotusLive cloud collaboration services, and choice of adding other IBM Lotus collaboration software like Lotus Notes and Lotus Sametime.
Although the companies keep specifications of the Simmbook in secret, they claim that the product "provides the power of a full-sized laptop" in a compact body. The personal computer runs Ubuntu and comes preloaded with IBM Client for Smart Work, IBM and Canonical's complete desktop package that's open, easy to use, and offers a security-rich alternative to costly, proprietary PC software, such as Microsoft Windows, the firms said. It can help lower costs by up to 50% of a typical Microsoft PC, according to IBM. Initially, the Simmbook will be available in South Africa, India, Thailand and Vietnam.
IBM Lotus Symphony is a full suite of applications for creating documents, spreadsheets and presentations, and is estimated to have over 13 million users worldwide. IBM LotusLive provides integrated, Cloud-based email, web conferencing, instant messaging, file sharing, relationship management and project tracking, with over 18 million users in 99 countries. IBM Lotus Notes/Domino provides enterprise-grade email and collaboration capabilities and is used by more than half of the largest global 100 corporations. It is available for a wide variety of Web devices.
"Netbooks are quickly becoming the norm instead of desktop computers for many businesses worldwide. In emerging markets such as South Africa, businesses need a solution that addresses both price and value. The Simmbook solution does just that – delivering a cost effective, high value and performance system with access to the collaborative tools that businesses need to run efficiently, including email, Web access and instant messaging. It is an ideal product for low total cost of ownership," said Indrajit Sabharwal, founder and managing director of Simmtronics Semiconductors.
The Simmbook lends itself to the cloud computing model as it is thin, lightweight and enables users to quickly and easily gain access to the cloud, including IBM LotusLive collaboration services, without needing any additional customization. According to the three companies, not only does the Simmbook serve as an access point to cloud, it is relevant for businesses starting up or looking to integrate collaboration into business – a user simply needs to turn it on and can begin using the standard features without utilizing more expensive software, such as Windows and Office-based systems.
"As Africa makes economic strides during a time when new technologies like cloud computing are emerging, the Simmbook netbook with LotusLive, Lotus Symphony, Lotus Notes and Ubuntu Linux provides businesses with a complete solution at an affordable price. CIO's, IT directors and IT architects from all type of organizations in South Africa -- even those that typically cannot afford new, expensive personal computers – can now legitimately consider netbooks instead of PCs for business use," said Clifford Foster, IBM sub-Saharan chief technology officer.

Facebook Stock Drop: Divine Blessing for Marc Zuckerberg
If a man is given a financial windfall at the end of his life, what reason does he have to change? How much enjoyment will he get out of it anyway? For an 85 year old, how great is the finest of steaks to you when your body can't even digest it? If you just received a billion dollars, it could mean that for every good you did in this world, G-d just paid you back in full. When your time comes and the Heavenly Court measures your good deeds against the wrong you did, you will have no merit to your name. All of it was accounted for before your passing.
The Book of Deuteronomy warns of G-d rewarding a man to his end. This is what that refers to.
But what if a man is young? What if he makes a terrible mistake? What if this is a mistake he doesn't even consider a bad choice? Does this person deserve to be taught a lesson in how to fix himself?
Hashem has just told His children, the answer is a resounding "Yes!"
Take a look at the most famous member of the People of the Book for 2012: Mark Zuckerberg.
On May 18 his company, Facebook, became a stock on the Nasdaq Exchange. Minutes after trading began the price of FB sailed to $45 a share, valuing Zuckerberg's 603 million shares at a little more than $27 billion. He became wealthier than George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. Not bad for a twenty something from White Plains, New York.
On May 19 he did something the very same Book of Deuteronomy says a Jew can never do. He married a non-Jewish woman. Why is a Jew not allowed to marry out? Simple. G-d says so. It has nothing do with racism, superiority, exclusiveness, or anything else. One of the 613 Commandments the Creator of Heaven and Earth directs every Jew on Earth to marry another Jew.
Every instance of a Jewish man having relations with a non-Jewish woman is a sin so bad, nobody in Heaven can defend us. When our spouse dies, they go to a different part of the Next World. We don't even have the consolation that in the afterlife we will see them — ever.
G-d could have allowed Mr. Zuckerberg to roll in his billions. He could have rewarded Mark to his end by not doing anything to help.
Instead, He sent him a tribulation of unprecedented magnitude.
From the moment Mark married a non-Jew, his finances tumbled. Facebook went from an IPO high of $45 a share to $18.03. Mark's worth went from $27 billion, all his because he was single, to $10.9 billion – half claimable by his wife. His guaranteed assets of $5.45 bil are a whopping $21.5 billion less than what he started with.
It could get worse.
Analysts project Facebook to earn $.63 a share for 2013. The average price to earnings ratio for the Nasdaq 100 is 11.9. Multiply $.63 by 11.9 and you have a 2013 price target of $7.50, bringing Zuckerberg's fortune down to $4.5 bil – half of which belongs to his wife.
I've heard of costly weddings before . . . .
This wasn't a private lesson given to someone outside the public eye. This is the most well-known Jew on earth. His life is an open book for all of us to study. This act of love to wake up Mr. Zuckerberg also serves as an act of love for all of us. Even with "merely" $2 billion in the bank, he will not go hungry. He will not be wanting.
G-d acted to wake him up without putting him to sleep.
We spend all of our lives pursuing wealth, only to see it all go up in smoke. George Soros will die and his money will be parted from him. Mark Zuckerberg, a young man with a bright future, can easily fix his mistakes and rise to even greater heights. Wasn't there a time in the 1990s when the once mighty Apple traded for $3 a share? Look at where it came from, how far it fell. See what it has become today.
G-d blessed Facebook's CEO with this poignant lesson. Right as we approach the Day of Judgment, followed by times of Repentance, and the final celebration of Atonement, He blesses all of Israel with this lesson as well.
To Mr. Zuckerberg and all of Israel, a happy, healthy, safe, prosperous, and sweet New Year . . .free of judgment and full of blessings!

text: As an interim evaluation report, this Technical Performance Report (TPR) is based on less data and fewer survey responses than will be available at the end of the pilot. In particular, the billing data used for estimation of energy and peak demand savings covers the period January 2012 through September 2012; thus, complete data is not available for either a full winter or summer season, and there is only nine months' worth of data overall, compared to the 24 months that will be available for the final evaluation report. As a consequence, there is a relatively high degree of uncertainty in the energy (kWh) and peak period demand (kW) savings estimates, reflected in the report by 90% confidence intervals on the impact results. The seasonal energy savings estimates are particularly affected by these data limitations since they are based on at most five monthly energy consumption values for each participant, whereas the peak period demand analysis utilizes hourly values during peak hours from all non‐holiday weekdays. The impact of these data limitations becomes more evident in the breakdown of savings by participant sub‐group, where sample sizes drop from between roughly 300 and 900 (depending on the pilot test group in question) to often less than 100 (e.g, high‐use participants in the Critical Peak Rebate test group).

Fast track to a college degree
St. Petersburg College will offer ambitious high school juniors and seniors in Pinellas County the chance to get ahead.
By RITA FARLOW
Published April 13, 2007
CLEARWATER - Pinellas County's first charter high school - St. Petersburg Collegiate High School - got the highest marks in the county last year on the state's school accountability report.
The charter, which allows students to take college classes to earn credits toward a high school diploma and an associate's degree at the same time, operates as a school within a school on St. Petersburg College's Gibbs campus.
Now school district officials are hoping to replicate that success with a new partnership with SPC in Clearwater.
School Board members voted Tuesday to approve a dual-enrollment agreement that will establish an Early College Program at SPC Clearwater.
Beginning with the 2007-08 school year, students in grades 11 and 12 will be able to take classes to earn both high school and college credits.
"It's an incredible way for us to continue to serve our community," said Carl Kuttler, president of St. Petersburg College.
The Early College Program will be similar to the Collegiate High School, which started in 2004, but with a few differences:
- Collegiate High offers a precollege track for sophomores. The new program will serve only juniors and seniors.
- Students in the new program must meet state requirements for dual credit, including keeping a 3.0 grade point average and passing a college placement test.
- Students in the new program will be fully enrolled in both a home high school and SPC. They can participate in high school sports and extracurricular activities and graduate from their home high schools.
Collegiate High School, on the other hand, operates as a "school within a school," where students take classes in portables on the Gibbs campus and in college classrooms there.
Students earn their high school diplomas through Collegiate High and can earn enough credits to receive an associate of arts degree.
Both programs are free. The new partnership will be open to students countywide, but north county students are being targeted because of proximity.
The partnership is one of many similar programs happening across the country.
"It's a great idea for what we need today. I'm not so sure it would have flown as well back 10 years ago ... but we need to keep looking forward," said Julie Janssen, a Pinellas deputy superintendent.
Fast Facts: Early College Program- Enrollment is open to public school, private school and homeschooled students, as long as they are county residents.- Students who will be juniors or seniors at the beginning of the 2007-08 school year who want to apply must attend one of three information sessions, April 24, 26 and 27, each from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Arts Auditorium at the SPC Clearwater campus, 2465 Drew St.- Have questions?

I-Master Radar Completes Flight Trials on CAMCOPTER
The Thales I-Master radar system completed flight trials on a Schiebel CAMCOPTER S-100 unmanned aircraft system (UAS) in Austria earlier this month.
The flights were the first time the I-Master has been featured on a CAMCOPTER, proving that the system's data transfer and sensor performance capabilities are compatible with a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) rotary-wing UAS.
"This trial, conducted in partnership with Schiebel, provided excellent GMTI and SAR results. It shows that I-Master can operate successfully on this VTOL UAV, meeting the specific challenges of unmanned platforms without interference or operational impact," said Eddie Awang, vice president of ISR at Thales UK.

Posted on 11/22/2012 6:32:26 PM PST by afraidfortherepublic
Father Barack Obama mocked the Sign of the Cross at the White House yesterday.
It was an open mockery of the Christian prayer that is accompanied by the immortal words used by peasants and kings over the centuries: In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Obama, who is left-handed, made the sign of the cross with his left hand, which out of respect for the centuries-long Christian practice, no one ever does.
Obamas left-handed sign of the cross was made over a gobbling turkey during the National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation Ceremony, that takes place at the White House every year shortly before Thanksgiving, having been resurrected by George H.W. Bush in 1989.
Obama departed from the usual presidential pardon granting the turkey a special dispensation in words as he twice made his left-handed Sign of the Cross.
There were lots of giggles from the two Obama daughters and lots of gobbling from the turkey recorded during the ceremony now on YouTube.
Clearly using his left hand for all to see, Obama made the Sign of the Cross backwards.

Pope: Christ Was Not a Prophet!
November 19, 2012 From theTrumpet.com
In a startling statement made during his Monday Angelus to the faithful, Pope Benedict declares Jesus Christ was no prophet.
At midday today the holy father appeared at the window of his study to recite the Angelus with faithful gathered in St. Peters Square. He commented on this Sundays gospel, focusing on Jesuss words about the end of time. So begins the report by the Vaticans own Information Service on a public statement the pope made on Sunday.
In a startling pronouncement about Jesus Christs revelation of the signs leading up to His return to Earth, Pope Benedict declared that Jesus does not describe the end of the world, and when He uses apocalyptic images, He does not act as a seer. On the contrary, He wishes to ensure that His disciples in every age remain unmoved by dates and predictions.
Wes...Orthodox bless themselves with their left hand making the sign of the cross,and neither the Roman or Orthodox rites worship statues or images.
I view the antics of this president as mockery a 12 year old would do but mockery none the less and symbolic of this regime....
AFR thanks for the posting
I sometimes make the sign of the cross with my left hand, I didn't know it was forbidden.
>> He knew exactly what he was doing.
He's a #ing idiot.
I do too. They're privileged and already being groomed to become angry radicals like their mother.
That video should be the subject of every sermon in every church this coming Sunday, but it won't happen.
Pre Obamacare.
Must have been the model for the Death Panels.
Left hand is the wiper. With water, no toilet paper.
It could be a coincidence, if not fo two things:
1. Obama is right-handed, far as I know.
2. It falls into a very consistent pattern of behaviour.
I recall reading somewhere they were sending the 2 daughters to Sidwell Friends, a Quaker School. Of course the New England Quaker sects tend to be homosexual tolerant, while most other Quakers are more Scriptural conservative in their opposition to homosexuality.
Yep to both your comments.
yes, it was very gauche of him to be so sinister :)
Lets all we Christians begin the crucifixions and beheadings./s
Hey now... (LOL)
obama is left handed. you've been a bizzy bee all night, ain't ya?
The lefty is a lefty. Convenient, eh?
"So it is a big deal because of the double-standards exhibited by the media"
The media does NOT have a double standard.
If it's good for the revolution, it's good. If it's good for America, it's bad.
One single standard, absolutely consistent. Quit complaining.
Kinda. Got a new database. To track what companies what unions are infesting. Not too much in it yet, but it may be a good thing for businesses not to do business with union hangouts.
Infectious. Like STDs.
Hehehe. Got their own directory. This is gonna be like taking candy from sheep.
Christ Himself acknowledged that He didn't know the day or hour (Mark 13:32).
A portion of America's "Christians" don't seem to be Christian at all; they will be thrilled by all of this.
Base is filling.
Keep away from Airstep, Aiden of New England, Belleville Shoes...
These are all participating in union campaigning.
I recall reading somewhere they were sending the 2 daughters to Sidwell Friends, a Quaker School.
Your comments had me scurrying to Google. I was directed to the Sidwell Friends School website. I observed the information in the spirit of at least some positive views on the parenting of the Presidential couple. I do realize and indeed from my reading of "Dreams From My Father" the righteous anger and concern of many Freepers here. This is on the attempt to remake America.
Anyway, I am unable to find out whether the promotion of homosexuality is ensconced at Sidwell. I hope not. Fees for students grades 5-12 are $34,268. This is a bit of a ramble by me and please excuse this.
As for the fees, it brings to mind the two authors, Ernest Hemmingway and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Says Scott "You know the rich are different to us". The reply is "Yes, they have more money". Indeed they do.
that's the way I always understood it
"What do Obama and God have in common? Neither has a birth certificate. How do they differ? God does not think he's Obama." - Rush Limbaugh
But commanded us to know the season
This will be a big factor in his reelection campaign in 2016.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (380 votes).
In short: My best race this year!In full: Super day, super scenrey at the top of those hills, excellently organised number/chip collection, good marshalling to start, good support all the way round and a great finish straight! And a PB (at the 5th attempt)into the bargain! I'll be back next year, too I expect. Just take an opinion poll on what "memento" finishers would like - not another t-shirt please! Nevertheless, loved the race!Date of review: January 18, 2012
In short: Love this race, great start to the year. Marshalls are FAB.In full: 2nd year of running this race for me, and I'll be back again next year. It's all very well organised and there's a great atmosphere. The marshalls are fantastic, and the stand out feature of the race. For a plodder like me, it's great to have such encouragement all the way round.Nice to kick myself into gear for Marathon training. Date of review: January 17, 2012
In short: Great start to the yearIn full: Well organised with friendly encouraging marshalls. Last 4km downhill/flat making it a fast courseDate of review: January 16, 2012
In short: Superb start to the road racing yearIn full: I made a 100+ mile round trip to come to the NTRIX because I heard it was a great event. I'm glad to say I wasn't disappointed. It was brilliantly organised with lots of support and encouragement from the marshals and the locals. A freezing day but bright winter sunshine allowed for a good time and an uphill stretch just before half way was a bit of a sting in the tail but on the whole it was a quick course with beautiful rural surrounds. I'd definitely make the trip to this event again. Well done Stratford AC. Superb!Date of review: January 16, 2012
In short: Brilliantly organised - A fantastic race to start the yearIn full: Massive credit to Stratford AC - organisation, Race HQ and marshals cannot be faulted - and although the route is 'undulating' the distance of 12K means there is bags of PB potentialDate of review: January 16, 2012
In short: Friendly, fun filled fantastic race and almost guaranteed a pb as there are so few 12k racesDate of review: January 15, 2012
In short: Excellent Race - Organisation and marshalls were brilliant.In full: Couldn't fault anything, excellent parking, no queues for your number, quick moving toilet queues. A couple of challenging hills bit seemed to be more than enough downhills. The biggest plus point was the marshalls - every single one encouraged people all the way around.Well done Stratford AC - Definitely back next year!Date of review: January 15, 2012
In short: Glorious scenery, great marshallsIn full: Did this race for the first time last year and loved it so I came back for more. It's nice and hilly but as many downs as there are ups and marshalls make it that bit easier by their great encouragement. I don't think I've ever run a better-marshalled/organised race. Love it!Date of review: January 15, 2012
In short: Great friendly atmosphere with a challenging but short hill half way roundIn full: A lovely race running through countryside with a climb up a short (1/4 mile) hill half way round. Rewarded at the top of the hill with a great view and a down hill section into the village of Loxley. Another more gentle hill near the end, but the last 1km is down hill to the finish with great support from the supporters and your fellow runners at the finishDate of review: January 15, 2012
In short: awesomeIn full: this race was fantastic, well organised, very friendly cracking course and brilliant marshalls. a well deserved pat on the back to all involved see you next yearDate of review: January 15, 2012

Does the job but I would prefer an organically grown preparation.
Be careful with your upper GI
Posted by Reviewer2197931 on Apr 28, 2009
This stuff works - but be careful, sometimes if used after eating excessively spicy food or drinking hard alcohol it can irritate the upper GI. Also, don't use too much at once (for the same reason). Side note: Now I use milled flax seed because it has added benefits and seems to be less irritating to the GI (also doesn't turn into glue if left sitting like psyllium).
Ok, but...

I do like Yerba Prima (I use their brush for dry brushing daily). This product I ordered as a part of our parasite cleanse and it seemed to work just fine. However, for next phase I ordered organic psyllium husks (here on iHerb from brand 'Now Foods'), since I read that psyllium plant is high on the list of pesticide containing crops.

Not sure how well this worked for me. Tasted quite gross. You definitely need to take lots of water with this, or it'll sit in your gut!
