Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (672 votes).
In short: Nice to see expected times up at the start so that the faster runners could get away quicker.Date of review: February 27, 2007
In short: Well worht the entrance fee to a very organised, well paced and wonderful scenic race. In full: An extremely well organised event, glorious scenery and yes, some hills making part of the challenge. The marshalling was the best I have expereinced to date and well placed water stations. I was uplifted with the Tunbridge Wells community who applauded us along the way. Congratulations to organisers and Tunbridge Wells! I'll be back next year!Date of review: February 26, 2007
In short: Possibly one of the best half marathons in the countryIn full: Well done TWH - a reference for how a race should be.Challenging course although has very strong PB potential.Kelly Holmes was very charming and a real bonus.Date of review: February 26, 2007
In short: Great scenery, great encouragement from marshalls In full: Thank you to the marshall that talked us through the map of the route, sorry to the marshall who I didn't believe when he told me it was flat from now on at about mile 11, I had heard it before so was cynical but the poor man was only trying to encourage me. Dame Kelly Holmes was excellent she wished everyone luck & a good race even thoses of us at the back and gave us a fabulous smile. My time was slow - I blame the hill but I enjoyed it & will be backDate of review: February 26, 2007
In short: Tough run but greta prep for London. Hill in middle should not be underestimated!! Scenary lovely.In full: This is only my 4th Half and I have to say i did enjoy it. Having done a fair bit of training for the London Marathon, I felt in good shape going into this but did not expect to get a very good time. Everyone started off exceptionally quickly and I found myself running at a pace that would take over 8 minutes off my PB!! The first 6 miles are predominantly down-hill. However, the hill just after 6 miles really sorts you out. I quite like hill running and plan it into my training, however I did underestimate the length and steepness of this. Everyones pace simply dies up this thing and I found myself passing people even though i was only just travelling above walking pace. A 6.45 min/mile soon became 7.05 min/mile average by the time i reached the top. Whilst i finished with 2 minutes off my PB, i do wish i had taken it a bit easier at the start, however with all the downhills its easier said than done. Overall, i thought it was really well organised, very pituresque, and a nice atmosphere amongst the runners.....although it is one of the harder races I have done.Date of review: February 26, 2007
In short: Great race - well worth my trip from Hertfordshire. Well done to the organisers.In full: Can't fault it : good, scenic route, well marshalled, plenty of water, good facilities at race HQ etc etc Very well done to Tunbridge Wells Harriers for a great event!Date of review: February 26, 2007
In short: Challenging, great scenery, better atmosphere!In full: Managed to get a good PB, would've been even better had I realised when the Hill materialised - never really recovered! Great scenery, great marshalling and good atmosphere provided by the runners and the people of Tunbridge Wells. Looking forward to Hastings! Date of review: February 26, 2007
In short: Pretty good - well organised. Some traffis problems between Pensgurst and Fordcombe.Date of review: February 26, 2007
In short: Really well organised race, even the prizes were presented on time! There is a tough hill at mile7/8, so your legs feel pretty tired for the last few miles!Date of review: February 26, 2007
In short: There are much better half marathons out thereIn full: Distinctly unimpressed with the amount of traffic we had to contend with, especially on the "big hill" where we had a mile long climb while breathing in the diesel fumes of a volvo which was travelling pu the hill at the same speed. There were quite a few occasions where we were forced into single file due to traffic conditions which was frustrating at times.Date of review: February 26, 2007

I'm more inclined to think of Pizza Hut thin when you say the word "cracker crust"....and the old school ones were pretty darn good IMO. Bob
I don't think I've ever eaten anything at PH that was crispy! It's always a soggy mess there. The problem with "thin and crispy" is it doesn't specify the technique to make the skin. "cracker" doesn't do any better either. IMO there are the LAMINATED skins -aka Shakeys, Round Table, Straw Hat, etc. Then there's everything else that isn't. Lamination is a completely different animal than say a severely undermixed crumbly dough or something with a lot of fat rolled thin. The lamination process structurally changes the dough skin while forming. For the sake of Pizzamaking.com, the "cracker" thread heading is defined as a laminated skin if you read the description. However since achieving this is difficult for the average home cook, the heading has come to represent everything else that is thin and crispy. I don't think this is what was originally intended by reading the thread description, but it's what most people do at home, because making a laminated skin properly requires special equipment and/or the right technique with a rolling pin as John (aka Fazzari) has already laid out in previous threads.

Invitation to participate in "The Forest Presents 15 Minute Theatre" night
Good Morning,
The Forest would like your help in presenting a "15 Minute Theatre" night. One night in early December we plan to turn the old church hall above The Forest Cafe into a venue and present three 15 minute theatre pieces every hour - whether finished polished pieces or new ideas being tried out on an audience for the first time. In the days leading up to the performance we hope to present a programme of related workshops and other activities.
We want to do this because The Forest's aim as a charity is to be a supportive place for artists to produce new work. The idea of presenting work in a relaxed atmosphere appeals and sometimes, even a hour is to long for a show. By getting many of the theatre groups in Edinburgh and some from beyond together to meet and exchange ideas, hopefully we can encourage new works and partnerships.
We are putting out the call for any groups who want to get involved by putting on a piece or holding a workshop to get in touch and express their interest. The ethos of The Forest is to provide free events, and thus the evening and the workshops will be free to the audiences. We would not charge any group wanting to participate, but equally we could not pay them either. But we can provide you with a theatre venue, publicity for the event and a supportive atmosphere.
At three 15 minute pieces an hour, that only leaves 5 minutes between shows. Props and staging have be kept to an absolute minimum, in order to keep the changeover short. And there won't be time to change the seating and the audience around – all groups will have to use the same area of staging. Lighting effects will have to be kept to a minimum.
If your interested in participating, give me a call and let me know. Hopefully I'll get enough interest to start booking dates in December ...
Yours sincerely,
etc etc

Zinc is chemically a metal and a trace mineral with multiple health benefits. It is required by the body for a number of functions in small quantities on a regular basis. Some of its important roles include improving immunity, hormone production and promoting digestion, controlling inflammation, tissue growth and repair, etc. to name a few. It also helps in controlling free radical production and therefore has anti-inflammatory effects in reversing heart disease and fighting cancer.
About 5 to 8 mg of zinc is needed by a person per day, with smaller children needing it in the lesser range and women needing more of it. Natural sources of zinc include animal rich protein foods like animal meat and seafood. Dairy products, legumes, pulses and whole grains also contain good amounts of zinc. Modern day foods contain added zinc and therefore are good sources too, though they availability and utility value for the body remain a question.
- Zinc improves immunity i.e. the body produces what are called as T cells when there is any infection or foreign body in the body. These T cells also help in controlling and regulating immune responses and in people with zinc deficiency, the immune system is suppressed putting them at risk for infections and illnesses.
- Zinc has a great role to play in maintaining skin integrity and delayed wound healing is one of the first symptoms of zinc deficiency. These people also could develop chronic ulcers or wounds. There is increased bacterial growth (reduced immunity), increased inflammation, and reduced re-epithelialization, all leading to poor skin health and delaying wound healing.
- Zinc is essential for healthy gut function and it is one of the best remedies for diarrhoea. Deficiency can lead to leaky gut syndrome.
- Zinc reduces free radical damage, which is responsible for chronic inflammation. Eating adequate amounts of zinc can reduce this inflammation, leading to preventing heart disease, reducing the incidence of cancer, etc. It also is shown to prevent cellular damage in the retina, thereby reducing incidence of macular degeneration.
- Zinc is essential for proper growth and development. Zinc deficiency is shown to produce shorter stature, anaemia, and delayed sexual maturation. During the growing years especially, it is very important to provide an adequate amount of zinc for the body, either naturally or through supplements.
- Fertility and zinc also has a strong correlation. In males, it affects both the quantity and quality of sperm production. The sperm count was shown to improve with zinc supplementation in males who complained of low sperm count.
- Controlling memory is another function of zinc. It determines how neurones talk to each other, which is essential for transmission of signals across the brain and formation of memory.
Vitamin A is essential for various body functions, the most important are vision, immunity, skin and hair health and correct genetic transcription. Signs of vitamin A toxicity include bone pain, brittle nails, hair loss, fatigue, dry and fissured skin and abnormal liver function. Deficiency of Vitamin A leads to night blindness.
Some interesting fatcs about vitamin A:
- Vitamin A is a fat soluble vitamin, thus requires fat for effective absorption.
- Normal level of vitamin A required for proper body functioning is about 3000 mg per day. A person could also end up eating more of Vitamin A on a regular basis, which could lead to vitamin A toxicity. If it is consumed from natural sources, it is not harmful; however, if synthetic vitamin A is consumed, it may end up as a toxin in the body.
- Every 100 g of sweet potato contains about 19200 IU of vitamin A. Sweet potato can be consumed in cooked, baked, cubed, raw or frozen form. It can be used in multiple ways and is one of the most vitamin A rich foods.
- Carrots is the most popular rich source of vitamin A. Every child knows that carrots are good for vision and eye health. Carrots can also be consumed in baked, cooked, raw or frozen form. Every 100 g of carrot contains about 17000 IU of carrot, which more than takes care of daily requirements.
- Green leafy vegetables are another rich source of vitamin A. This could be spinach, lettuce, beet greens, turnip greens, collards, kale, or other greens. Each of them contains sufficient amounts of vitamin A, and including about 100 g provides about 14000 IU of vitamin A. These can be used as salad dressings or cooked with lentils to make variety of dishes.
- The liver from any animal is the most effective nonvegetarian source of vitamin A. Consuming liver 2 to 3 times per day gives sufficient amounts vitamin A for men, women and children. Cod liver oil, which are available widely in the market are also a good source, if meat is not available.
- Dry fruits, such as apricots, which are sundried and used when there is no season for apricots, are another rich source of vitamin A. Dried peaches and prunes are also good sources for this vitamin.
- Consuming about 2 egg yolks per day provides all the required vitamin A for your body. It does contain cholesterol, but the body does need small amount of cholesterol too for various functions.
- Dairy products, such butter and cream from cow's milk which are especially fed on grass are again great sources of vitamin A.
- Small amounts of vitamin A are also present in cantaloupe melons, pumpkins, squash fruits, beetroot, bell peppers and most importantly in seasonal fruits.
People who are constantly troubled by the fear of physical illness or who excessively feel worried about their health are commonly referred to as hypochondriacs. This phenomenon is called somatic symptom disorder, also known as hypochondria or hypochondriasis. Despite the evidence of medical tests proving that they do not suffer from any disease or illness, hypochondriacs are perpetually worried about their health. This is mainly because of their misinterpretation of minor health problems or normal body functions as something serious. Somatic symptom disorder affects both males and females equally, and it usually happens during early adulthood.
Causes and symptoms: Their complaints may range from minor issues like pain or stress to more serious problems concerning breathing or headaches. Hypochondriacs rarely try to deceive themselves, and they genuinely believe that they have health problems, however unrealistic their beliefs might be. The exact causes are indefinite and unknown, but they generally arise from considerable physical or sexual abuse in their early childhood. Moreover, parents or close relatives suffering from the disorder may also induce such fears into the child, who would eventually behave in a similar pattern later in adulthood.
Diagnosis: Diagnosis of the disorder can be very troublesome, mainly because of their inherent conviction that they are suffering from physical illness. However, the disorder can be treated through proper supportive care or psychotherapy. Antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs are also used sometimes.
Dealing with the disorder: Hypochondria can often lead to a chronic condition, which can be long lasting. Although there are no definite ways of preventing it, there is one method to reduce the intensity of the symptoms and help patients cope up with the disorder. It is by providing them a supportive and understanding environment, one in which they can fight the distress and trouble that comes along with the somatic symptom disorder. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a psychiatrist and ask a free question.
Raising a child with dyslexia can stir up a lot of emotions. You may look ahead and wonder if this learning issue will affect your child's future. But dyslexia is not a prediction of failure. Dyslexia is quite common, and many successful individuals have dyslexia.
Research has proven that there are different ways of teaching that can help people with dyslexia succeed. There's a lot you can do as a parent too.
What are the symptoms of dyslexia?
Because dyslexia affects some people more severely than others, your child's symptoms may look different from those in another child. Some kids with dyslexia have trouble with reading and spelling. Others may struggle to write or to tell left from right.
Dyslexia can also make it difficult for people to express themselves clearly. It can be hard for them to structure their thoughts during conversation. They may have trouble finding the right words to say.
Others struggle to understand what they're hearing. This is especially true when someone uses nonliteral language such as jokes and sarcasm.
The signs you see may also look different at various ages. Some of the warning signs for dyslexia, such as a speech delay, appear before a child reaches kindergarten. More often, though, dyslexia is identified in grade school. As schoolwork gets more demanding, trouble processing language becomes more apparent.
Here are some signs to look out for:
- Warning Signs in Preschool or Kindergarten
- Has trouble recognizing the letters of the alphabet
- Struggles to match letters to sounds, such as not knowing what sounds b or h make
- Has difficulty blending sounds into words, such as connecting C-H-A-T to the word chat
- Struggles to pronounce words correctly, such as saying 'mawn lower' instead of 'lawn mower'
- Has difficulty learning new words
- Has a smaller vocabulary than other kids the same age
- Has trouble learning to count or say the days of the week and other common word sequences
- Has trouble rhyming
Warning Signs in Grade School or Middle School
- Struggles with reading and spelling
- Confuses the order of letters, such as writing 'left' instead of 'felt'
- Has trouble remembering facts and numbers
- Has difficulty gripping a pencil
- Has difficulty using proper grammar
- Has trouble learning new skills and relies heavily on memorization
- Gets tripped up by word problems in math
- Has a tough time sounding out unfamiliar words
- Has trouble following a sequence of directions
Warning Signs in High School

What can be done at home for dyslexia?
Helping your child with dyslexia can be a challenge, particularly if you're never been confident in your own reading and writing skills. But you don't have to be an expert to help work on certain skills or strengthen your child's self-esteem.
Keep in mind that kids (and families) are all different, so not all options will work for you. Don't panic if the first strategies you try aren't effective. You may need to try several approaches to find what works best for your child. Here are some things you can try at home:
- Read out loud every day
- Tap into your child's interests
- Use audiobooks
- Look for apps and other high-tech help
- Focus on effort, not outcome
- Make your home reader-friendly
- Boost confidence
What can make the journey easier?
Dyslexia can present challenges for your child and for you. But with the proper support, almost all people with dyslexia can become accurate readers. Your involvement will help tremendously.
Wherever you are in your journey, whether you're just starting out or are well on your way, this site can help you find more ways to support your child. Here are a few things that can help make the journey easier:
- Connect with other parents. Remember that you're not alone. Use our safe online community to find parents like you.
- Get behavior advice. Parenting Coach offers expert-approved strategies on a variety of issues that can affect children with dyslexia, including trouble with time management, anxiety and fear, frustration and low self-esteem.
- Build a support plan. Come up with a game plan and anticipate what lies ahead.
Understanding dyslexia and looking for ways to help your child is an important first step. There's a lot you can do just don't feel you have to do everything all at once. Pace yourself. If you try a bunch of strategies at the same time, it might be hard to figure out which ones are working. And do your best to stay positive. Your love and support can make a big difference in your child's life. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a neurologist and ask a free question.

5 life-long benefits of drinking desi haldi milk
Haldi is a vital spice used in the indian cuisine and other south asian cuisines. Also known as turmeric, it constitutes of some sugars, proteins, and resins, and is a ubiquitous asian kitchen ingredient; almost every meal cooked has a dash of haldi in it. But apart from the colour, taste and aroma that it adds to the food, when added to milk, it becomes a magical potion known as desi haldi milk that can prevent and cure diseases.
Here are 5 lifelong benefits of desi haldi milk:
1. Has anti-inflammatory properties: Haldi has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. According to ayurveda, it has been named as the natural aspirin. Due to its anti-inflammatory properties, when combined with milk, it becomes a really useful drink that helps prevent cancer. It stops the growth of lung, skin, colon, breast, and prostate cancer, and for cancer patients, it helps reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. Additionally, haldi milk provides relief from arthritis pain and improves the flexibility of joints and muscles.
2. Is a blood purifier: Blood impurities can lead to severe health problems and desi haldi milk is considered an excellent blood purifier and cleanser if the principles of ayurveda are to be believed. It can revitalize and boost the blood circulation in the body. Acting as a blood thinner, haldi milk plays a significant role in eliminating all impurities from the blood vessels and lymphatic system of your body.
3. Helps control weight: Turmeric contains curcumin, an antioxidant capable of preventing inflammation of various cells of your body like fat, muscle, and pancreatic cells. This also results in lower risks of health issues arising due to obesity like high cholesterol levels, high blood sugar, insulin resistance and other metabolic problems. Also, haldi milk helps in the breakdown of dietary fat. This can be useful in controlling the weight.
4. Gives you healthier skin: Haldi is a very useful ingredient for battling skin issues. Drinking haldi milk helps in getting enviable glowing skin and can also be used for application on the face and body. Dipping a cotton ball into haldi milk and applying that to your face can help you get rid of any rash, skin redness or blotchy patches. Moreover, bathing in turmeric milk can be helpful in attaining soft, supple and radiant skin.
5. Ensures better bone health: Haldi milk is an excellent source of calcium, and has bone-strengthening properties, which are necessary to keep the bones healthy and strong. It also helps lower bone loss and prevent osteoporosis.
So go ahead, mix up the ever easily available haldi and milk from your kitchen and drink up to a healthier you.
Breast cancer is a type of a cancerous infection that develops in the skin cells of the breast. This condition is more commonly diagnosed after you have skin cancer and is more common in women than men. There are certain signs to identify this disease, which are as follows.
1. Breast lumps - Lumps are patches of skin that occur due to the thickening and swelling of the skin. Breast lumps is a very common phenomenon for women but that does not always lead to a breast cancer; however, frequent and reoccurring instances of the same increases the risk of breast cancer. A breast lump is easily identifiable through the naked eye as it looks different from the surrounding tissues.
2. Blood discharges - The nipple is one of the most sensitive areas in the human body. In case of women, it is meant to emit milk during pregnancy, in order to feed the infant externally. A probable symptom of breast cancer can also be a frequent discharge of blood from the nipple without any visible damage or injury.
3. Breast changes - If you are experiencing any visible changes in the size, appearance or shape of the breast, then it is an indicative sign that you may have breast cancer. Thus, it is of paramount importance that you observe, touch and physically examine your breast regularly for changes. If there is any major change detected then it is advisable to consult a doctor.
4. Inverted nipple - The tip of the nipple is generally bulging and pointing outwards both in cases of men and women. But sometimes the tip of the nipple is pushed inside due to excessive suction caused by the skin tissues present inside the breast around the nipple area. This suction forces the nipple to grow inwards which is abnormal and might harm the breast and skin in various ways.
However, apart from these main symptoms, some other signs are also there that increase your chances of being diagnosed with breast cancer. They are redness or pitting of the skin over your breast like an orange, peeling or scaling of the pigmented area around the nipple, dimpling of the skin on the breasts, and such others.
People experience irritation and roughness of skin during winter which results in poor circulation and widened capillaries. And hence skin suffers. Choose a good oil based moisturiser to keep the skin soft and supple. People tend to drink less water during winters but it is important to hydrate skin from within. Herbal tea is also a great remedy to moisturise skin from within. Use good lip balm preferably with tea tree oil as it helps heal painful cracks. A healthy skin is a reflection of good inner health. Continue to eat healthy drink plenty of water and exercise regularly and use sunskin of spf 15 or more when stepping out to protect from sun even during winter.

SALT 2013: Productive Spending Priorities and Government Consensus
LAS VEGAS (TheStreet) -- An impassioned debate among politicians set the stage for Thursday's Skybridge Alternative Investment (SALT) Conference sessions.
Former Senator Scott Brown, Morgan Stanley
In the end, all of the panelists agreed that more reaching across the aisle in Congress was necessary - and that when it comes to policies, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
This take-away led well into the next panel, "From Response to Resilience: Confronting Global Fiscal Policy Changes" where the panelists debated the heated tug-of-war on "growth vs. austerity."
Bethany McClean of Vanity Fair posed the question of the much-discussed errata published by Carmen Reinhart and Kenneth Rogoff, whose 2010 paper on public debt and growth became an infamous academic validation to support fiscal austerity.
While their data was indeed incorrect -- with The New York Times' Paul Krugman, for example, citing that the "economic case for austerity has collapsed," Julia Coronado, chief economist - North America at BNP Paribas said that much of this discussion has been overplayed. While she noted that she is not excusing faulty data, the basis of concern over high debt levels isn't entirely misplaced. "If you borrow excessively," she said, "you are borrowing from the future -- it is going to slow growth."
Importantly, though, Coronado added that "the only exception is if you are investing in something highly productive that creates new capacity." Of course, the borrowing we have seen--household borrowing (issue in the United States) and sovereign borrowing (issue in Europe) were not cases that were productive.
While the current environment, as dictated by Fed actions, favors savers over borrowers, there seem to be limited alternatives at this point. And of course, some economies can withstand austerity more than others--as a number of panelists have cited more flexibility from the populace in Japan, for example, than we had seen in Greece.
The bottom line: Particularly in the U.S., we need real consensus over budget priorities and growth priorities from the government. Ultimately, when we are spending and borrowing form the future it needs to be focused on productive categories in particular.

Try a rail-trail compromise
To the editor:
Regarding the large number of letters printed by one faction or the other expressing sometimes contorted views pro or con on the rails-or-trails issue, I personally have reached the point where I no longer read them. Having said that, I feel there is a significant proportion, if not majority, of the population who could be impacted with cost but without benefit by the eventual outcome.
Many such as me, who likely won't use the trail, will not benefit financially – as those whose businesses, such as food and lodging, may see gain from bicycles as they now do from snowmobiles – but will see our tax dollars spent to remove the rails and resurface and maintain the right of way to benefit the users only. Many users will not share the costs as they are not from this state or area, and I have heard of no plans for anyone to contribute financially in any way. The proposed influx of users may create liability and insurance problems for those whose property borders the trail, and whatever benefits that presently come from the railroad will be gone if compromise for both a rail and trail is not achievable.
The other possibility of reopening that unit management plan is that the rail corridor would become forever wild, as the wealthy and politically connected environmentalists would have it, and both rail and trail groups would lose entirely.
I urge all to consider a compromise, unified goal that would largely satisfy all involved.

The stage was set for a huge Central Division clash at the United Center on Monday night. The Bulls entered the game with the best record in the NBA, and the Pacers were sitting in second in the division and third in the east. Both teams were in the midst of impressive 6-game winning streaks and had a little bad blood between them to fuel the fire even more. The Bulls were a little irked at the way the Pacers celebrated on their home floor after the teams squared off on January 25th and have had this date circled on the calendar ever since. About the only thing that could have heightened the atmosphere would have been to play ELO's "Showdown" over the stadium P.A. system just before tip-off (just the song, no need for Big Ern' McCracken's comb-over). For the first 24 minutes of action, the game lived up to the hype and the Pacers went into the locker room with a hard fought one point lead. After the break, the scales tilted and the Bulls jumped all over Indy in a monster 3rd quarter to roll to a 20-point victory.
Luol Deng led the Bulls with 20 points on a night where most of the team struggled from the field. Derrick Rose had a quiet night with 13 points and 9 assists, but he came up huge in the 3rd with 11 of his points and 5 of his assists coming in the pivotal frame. Joakim Noah continued his recent strong play with 9 points and 17 rebounds while Taj Gibson notched 10 points and 9 boards off the bench. For Indiana, most of the scoring punch came from the two Georges, George Hill and Paul George, who scored 17 and 21 respectively to combine for 38 of Indy's 72 points. The stat that really stood out in this one was the rebounding battle. Chicago out-rebounded the Pacers by a 60-32 margin that bordered on the ridiculous. Indiana averages the third most rebounds per game in the league, but they were dominated on the glass in this one.
Despite the lopsided final score, this was a very tight game throughout the first half. The Bulls came out of the gate shooting very poorly. They shot 39 percent as a team for the first half, but their top 3 scorers for the season (Rose, Boozer and Deng) were a combined 3-for-21 at the intermission with 11 total points between them. To make matters worse, they were plagued by turnovers in the early going and lost starter Richard Hamilton to yet another injury just a minute and a half into the game. Somehow they were still able to set the tone of the game with their physical defense and rebounding keep Indy from getting out to a lead. The Pacers were limited to just 3 offensive boards in the first half just one night after the Philadelphia 76ers grabbed 18 in a game against these Bulls. "Give credit to the Bulls," said Pacers' coach Frank Vogel after the game. "They won all the hustle stats tonight, won all the loose balls, and obviously kicked our butts on the glass." While all of that hustle kept the Bulls in the game for two quarters, it was an offensive explosion in the third that put the Pacers away.
The reigning MVP finally put his stamp on this game coming out of the break. D-Rose assisted on the first 4 field goals Chicago scored in the second half as the team turned a deficit into a 3-point lead, and then he started to score some himself. He knocked down his first 3 pointer of the game on the fast break off of a Pacer miss, then dropped in a 12-foot floater on the next Chicago possession and another triple moments later to open the Bulls' lead to 7. After a couple of misses by each team, it was Luol Deng's turn to try his hand from the outside. Deng drained 3-pointers on back-to-back possessions to push the lead to 13, and Rose added one more from downtown before the quarter was over to put Indy in a hole they wouldn't dig out of. The Pacers started to make a push late in the game against the Bulls' reserves and got back to within 13 with a few minutes to go, but Thibodeau went back to Deng and Noah to ice the game, and even had D-Rose stretching just in case. "He was warming up in the bullpen," joked Thibs afterward. One thing coach Thibodeau didn't joke about is just how the Bulls pulled off the impressive win. "We struggled offensively in the first half. In the third quarter, we had great energy and imposed our will. The rebounding is what got us over the hump. When things are not going your way and you are not shooting well, you have to find other ways to win."
The catalyst of the great rebounding effort for Chicago had to be Joakim Noah. Noah was flying around the court like a man possessed and has been doing so with regularity for Chicago. Joakim has averaged almost 11 points and 14 rebounds a game over his past six contests, and started that run with a triple-double against the Bucks back on February 22nd. "He should have been an All-Star," commented Carlos Boozer after Monday's game. "He's knocking on 20 rebounds every game. He's blocking everybody's shot. He's always got that incredible energy. Jo's playing awesome." According to the Chicago head coach, it was just a matter of getting his timing down. "At the beginning of the season, he was getting to a lot of balls but he was bobbling," claimed Thibs. "Now he's snatching his rebounds with two hands, he's range rebounding, and his conditioning is great." Hopefully Joakim can keep up his strong play on the glass for the rest of the season, because the one thing that is lacking on the Miami Heat is an inside presence. Jo's superior rebounding ability can cause fits for the Heat come playoff time, just as Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol did in a Laker win over Miami on Sunday afternoon.
As great as the Bulls' performance was on Monday night, there was one glaring negative to take from the game. Rip Hamilton is hurt. Again. This will be the third different injury that will cause Rip to miss time this season. First it was a pulled left groin that was suffered just 4 games into the season and cost Rip 10 games. Just 3 games after his return from that ailment, a right thigh injury sidelined him again for another 13 games. This time it took a whole 5 games to see Hamilton suffer a new injury. He collided with a defender just over a minute into the ball game, and left the action with a shoulder injury. There is still no word yet on the severity of the injury, but as brittle as Hamilton seems to be, it's likely the Bulls won't rush him back. That means that Ronnie Brewer will be back to the starting lineup, which is just fine for the Bulls. "It doesn't take him [Ronnie] 5 minutes to get into the flow of a game," explained Thibodeau. "He can start instantaneously. If you start him, he's fine. If you bring him off the bench, he's fine. He just plays."
Indiana dropped to the number 5 spot in the Eastern Conference standings for now, but there is plenty of time left to change that. This is a young team that has come a long way in a really short time. They are much improved from last season with the additions of George Hill and David West and another year of playing together for everyone else. They will be a handful in the playoffs and really might be playing beyond the first round. If the first two meetings were any indication, a series between the Bulls and Pacers would be intense, just as it was last season. This is blossoming into a very entertaining rivalry. It isn't quite at the Michael Jordan vs. Reggie Miller level yet, but these teams are both young and will be battling each other for years. The Bulls got their revenge on Monday, but that just means it's the Pacers' turn to do some circling on the calendar. The Bulls visit Indianapolis on April 25th for the season's rubber match, and you can bet it will be explosive.
I assure you the Bulls aren't looking quite that far ahead. It's always been the mantra of Tom Thibodeau to take things one game at a time. The Bulls remain excited about this team and what it can do, but they won't get ahead of themselves. The focus is on Milwaukee, who Chicago visits Wednesday. The Bucks are fighting to try to get back in the playoff conversation, and the Bulls know it would be unwise to overlook them. The Bucks are desperate and desperate teams are dangerous. It's true that one win over Milwaukee won't directly help the Bulls with their long term goal of winning a championship, but beating the Bucks is part a plan and routine that has served the Bulls pretty well over the past season and a half. "We just talk about getting better," asserted Boozer. "That's our motto. Get better today." If the Bulls make good on that motto and improve a little bit every day, the Miami Heat will have their hands full in June. Get the ELO ready.

Skip to comments.Photo stickers of Bush were placed in urinals in some ministry offices in Brussels
Posted on 02/27/2005 5:25:35 PM PST by Jeff Blogworthy
Belgians get scolding from Vito Photo stickers of Bush were placed in urinals in some ministry offices in Brussels Saturday, February 26, 2005 By TERENCE J. KIVLAN
WASHINGTON -- Photo stickers of President Bush and the American flag placed in urinals in some Belgian ministry offices in Brussels right before the president's European tour have Rep. Vito Fossella mighty peeved.
But the lawmaker's ire, expressed to the Belgian prime minister at the Belgian Embassy here, may have been misdirected.
Although Fossella (R-Staten Island/Brooklyn) accused the prime minister of responsibility for the stickers, Serge Wauthier, an embassy spokesman, noted that the Belgian government had condemned the stickers and their placement earlier this week, taking "a very clear position distancing itself from this initiative."
In his letter, addressed to Prime Minister Johan Vande Lanotte, Fossella wrote that "such cheap political humor at the expense of the American flag was beneath a country with such a rich heritage as Belgium."
Wauthier responded that, although he found Fossella's letter very moving, it was up to Belgian Ambassador Frans Van Daele to respond to it, not the prime minister.
The congressman noted that the American flag graces the graves of thousands of American troops who died while liberating Belgium and other European countries from German occupation during World Wars I and II.
He also chided the Belgians for expressing any disagreement they have with U.S. policy on such a childish level.
The stickers, which bear the caption, "Go ahead. P--- on me," are said to be a common sight in the public toilets of Belgian schools, youth clubs and pubs.

those europigs. such class. have you ever seen such sorry losers? Besides the Red Sox, I mean.
Europeans are such losers. They act like little children. Kind of loke our lefties here taking all the W's off the keyboards.
That's OK, every DAY, I take a chIRAQ and wipe my Germany, with some Belgian.
What a coincidence - I use toilet paper that is a continuous roll of little EU flags.
Boy do I hate the European trash that has taken over once great Europe.
At the post office where I work, we have urinal targets of Osama bin-Laden, and I take frequent and deadly aim every day I work there...
May God bless the USPS....
Lie-berals here are just like the Lie-berals abroad, childish, immature, snot-nosed brats who want to be able to play with all the toys and have someone else buy them. The Belgians responsible probably sat back snickering about how clever they are.
Hey no fair..i'm a die hard sox fan and not a sore loser!
Maybe we could round up a bunch of Skin Heads and Neo Nazi types and give them Belgium to play with. Just build a big fence around the place, then turn them loose.
Belgium = Belgistan
Ok, the pics of Bush in the urinals are funny....but not our flag. Thats not right.
I've seen urinals with Kerry's picture in them. It's all fair game in politics, tasteless, but fair game. The flag on the other hand is an entirely different matter.
Urinal Cake Supplier Gears Up for Spirited Presidential Election
Flushing, NY | The country's oldest restroom supply company hopes this year's unusually long election season will be a major boost to the bottom line.
John Ballcock's family-owned business has manufactured industrial-strength urinal cakes (he prefers the term "deodorant blocks") since 1929. And his political novelties, a small but profitable sideline, have been making a splash since the early 50s.
Although this year's short and relatively polite Democratic race worried Ballcock initially, he now thinks it was a blessing in disguise.
"2004 is shaping up to be the most divisive Presidential campaign anyone around here can remember," says Ballcock. "This could potentially be the longest pissing contest in U.S. history."
In fact, the manufacturing plant has hired additional workers in anticipation of a lengthy and mean-spirited battle.
But, when asked why he doesn't offer political-theme toilet paper as well, Ballcock explained "Mostly because politicians aren't worth a crap."
I suppose they have a right to do this, Personally I have a picture of Chirac in mine.
If ever I walk into a men's room and see a US flag in the urinal, I'm not going to complain or anything. I'm just going to take the leak on the floor instead. Whoever runs the place clearly has a taste for sophomoric gestures.
Yeah, I hate the European Union too.
the local saloon i frequent has had jane "the treasonous b**ch" fonda in the urinals as a target over the years
Have you ever noticed the tendency of those who claim to be the most enlightened, the most intelligent, the most sophisticated are the very same people that seem endlessly fascinated by human excrement and base body functions? Why is that?
Dogs sniff each other's arse to see who their friends are, but at least they seem to genuinely like you.
Brussels? Isn't that a city we liberated twice in two World Wars?
Last time I checked, the Red Sox accomplished the greatest post-season performance in the history of sports by coming back from a 0-3 deficit to beat the Yankees in the ALCS, and then going-on to sweep the Cards in the World Series. Doesn't sound like losing to me.
In his letter, addressed to Prime Minister Johan Vande Lanotte...
Johan Vande Lanotte 28,900 Google search results
George W. Bush 15,900,000 Google search results
Do you remember the Ayatolah Khomeni toilet paper? (I know. I butchered the spelling) We had a roll of toilet paper with his picture on for 20 years. Lost it in a housefire in '03.
The Europeans only degrade themselves with these juvenile displays.
In Brussels this passes for wit. It's the sort of political statement that tells you more about the speaker than the topic.
I know there are exceptions to every rule. But, what kind of winner are you?
You're bang-on there, mate. Elites could learn a lot from dogs. But I dare not say what they'd rather do with the poor things.
Dogs are sincere, they won't sell you down the river the way Walter Cronkite did Dan Rather!
Yes, even dogs have more sense than leftists. I guess it's because they have no capacity for pride or malice.
short memory alert. Last time I checked, indeed.

Mount Olive Lutheran Church
Project Categories: Non-Residential, New Construction, Ultra Series, Educational/Religious Institutions
Featured Kolbe Products
- Sash set crank-out casement & picture windows with ogee casing and 2-1/8" sill nosing
- Direct set quarter-circle radius windows
- 2-1/4" wide performance divided lite (PDL) bars
- Extruded aluminum cladding with a fluoropolymer exterior finish in Rustic
|Project Information
A design-build firm created an addition for Mount Olive Lutheran Church with a 900-seat worship space, offices, a large lobby, and a kitchen preparation area with an adjacent multi-use room. While the original plans called for aluminum storefront products, the architect approved Kolbe's Ultra Series products with wood interiors and extruded aluminum clad exteriors. The ogee direct set profiles met the aesthetic goals, and provide a great deal of daylight. Due to the expansive sizes of the mull units, many required steel supports, which Kolbe was able to provide.

Local roller figure skaters compete for the chance to become National Champions.
For 17-year-old Julia Harvey of Maplewood, she's come a long way since she began skating competitively 6 years ago. "When I first went out, I completely forgot my routine," said Harvey. "I just rolled around in circles… thinking, 'I'm probably not going to stick with this.' The second night, I went out for the other event and I did really well." After that first bout with nerves, Harvey continued to excel as skater. At Nationals on July 23, she will compete for a spot at the World Championships for the sixth time.

In full: A mudtastic romp through glorious Somerset countryside. Be prepared - read the reviews before entering, invest in some good trail shoes and train on those hills. Then enjoy the day! My first off-road half, I knew no one else but felt a real part of one passionate and rather masochistic community - fabulous! The friendly marshals with their endless encouragement, handing out jelly sweets and Jaffa cakes made me feel like a carefree kid. The other quirky touches (God Save the Queen at the start, the Fool on the Hill and carrots and beer at the finish) add to the atmosphere. And a great T shirt and medal to boot. A must in next year''s Calendar. Thanks Trionium and all your able helpers!Date of review: November 26, 2013

En fuego from beyond the arc. Foster and Butler may the equator look chilly. They combine for 11-14 from three-point land. I honestly don't know if I have ever seen 3-point shooting like this.
Dials played strong as well, getting the better of Augustine. (who, btw, has been at Illinois for like 17 years)
Matta has this team peaking at the right time. They have a great shot at winning the Big Ten and look like a dangerous team come March.
(oh, and thinking the incoming frosh Conley starts over Butler next year is lunacy. Butler is playing unreal right now.)

What's on voter's minds?
We sat down separately with the Republicans, Democrats and independents and talked with each small group for 60 to 90 minutes, looking for themes.
Published October 22, 2006
The general election is Nov. 7, but early voting begins tomorrow.
To find out what's on voters' minds as Election Day looms, we gathered more than two dozen of them in recent days for wide-ranging discussions moderated by Times political editor Adam Smith. // We wanted to hear from Republicans, Democrats and independents. But most of all, we wanted to hear from people who actually vote. Using the voter rolls (to ensure we picked people with a record of voting), we randomly chose 10 of each affiliation. // We brought in only a handful of people, so their views are not necessarily reflective of all voters. But we wanted to spend some quality time with a smaller number of people to get beyond the simple yes or no answers from typical polls. What we lack in quantity, we hope we gain in quality.
We sat down separately with the Republicans, Democrats and independents and talked with each small group for 60 to 90 minutes, looking for themes.
Very few politicians excite these voters. And while they are dedicated voters, they aren't certain their votes count for much - even though the recent history of 2000, when a presidential election was decided by a small basket of votes - would indicate otherwise.
Many of them vote defensively. They may not like their own party's candidates that much, but they prefer them to the other party's guy. And it was common across all three groups to split their votes across party lines.
Know this: The independents are not necessarily in the middle. They simply don't want to join a party or be told how to vote. Our small group of independents included conservative and liberal thinkers united only by their desire not to be affiliated with a party. Oh, and don't forget: Election Day is Nov. 7, and early voting begins Monday.
To give you a flavor of the three discussions, here are some edited remarks grouped by topic (remember that while the comments are melded, the three groups talked about them independently of each other):
Property insurance
Melinda, Democrat: Property taxes keep increasing. Actually, homeowners insurance is more of a concern. My insurance bill doubled since last year. I've actually thought about leaving Florida.
Leonard, Democrat: My insurance has doubled. Have tried to solve the problems, but laws don't allow you. If you have enough deductible, your premium is going to go way down. Many people have enough equity to have a $10,000 deductible for every $100,000 value. All we need is someone to tell the insurance companies you can do that. We're restricting them from doing that. I would like to have the option of saying, No, I don't want anything inside my house insured. (Insure the structure, not the contents.)
Ron, Democrat: I'm retired. I sold my home because of taxes on the home and moved to a retirement community. Couldn't afford it, being retired without going out and finding another job. I put the money in investments. It was a wise decision. I'm happy now. I can go on vacation and not worry about anything.
Katie, Democrat: I live in Gulfport. So far, it's been a great place to raise kids. Now we're in a position where there are 100 places for sale in Gulfport, and it's all about insurance. I have a friend whose taxes were $600 and now it's $1,800. Everybody's talking about moving to Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North and South Carolina. Now it's scary.
Judith, Democrat: I'm reaching retirement age; I had a home built 15 years ago, and I paid, like, $49,000 for it. Now it's valued at $260,000. I have six living children, 16 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I'm looking to retire in five years, and I'm thinking of moving to Georgia because I won't be able to afford it in Florida with taxes and insurance. When I'm on a fixed income and prices go up, what am I going to do?
Melinda, Democrat: We need some sort of (property tax) cap for rental properties.
Kathleen, Republican: I'm upset about the insurance. I have lived in my house for 19 years. I don't have to evacuate. We were just canceled. We've never had a claim, and trying to find another insurance is very difficult without the cost going up a lot. We're thinking of moving because you just can't afford to stay where you're at.
Jim, Republican: After we're almost through with the hurricane season and nothing happened, it would be nice to think that there would be some idea from someone who's running for office to say all these premiums were collected and there's no reason to keep those premiums without returning something. We're at the end of the line here if we don't do something pretty quick. Doctors are leaving and people are leaving, and it's time to stop it.
Doug, Republican: What bothers me is we didn't have losses for years and years before this. What did they do with all that money? What they've done is isolate Florida from the rest of the world, so we have to be self-insured, basically. (Later asked if the property insurance problems will affect his vote, he added), There hasn't been one candidate who can convince me he's going to do anything for us on insurance.
Why they vote
Albert, independent: If you don't like it, change it, but how do you change it? They say your vote counts, but unless you have an army that agrees with you, why cast it?
Kerri, independent: What does our opinion matter? Gets to the point you don't want to vote.
Larry C., independent: It takes power in numbers.
Daniel, independent: When the Democrats come to the center, and some of the right comes to the center, then they might start to really get something going.
Julia, independent: The only power we have is the vote. Margaret Mead once said that a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; indeed it's the only thing that ever has. I believe in that. So I'm going to continue to vote. The only thing I can do is vote.
Jeff, Republican: The whole thing is a mess; whole things have got to be changed. I'm for whoever is in, vote them out; make them change every two years. They go up there with good ideas, but once they're there for a while, their priorities become infected and wrong.
Robert, Republican: I believe first of all that power corrupts. I believe that the people I've voted for have the best intentions, but as soon as they're voted in, their primary objective is keeping their job. Last two major elections I voted against someone, not for someone. There was no one running I had any confidence in. As a general voting philosophy, I am conservative. I vote antiliberal.
Doug, Republican: There's hope that something will change, that you'll get the right person.
The war
Robert, Republican: I lived in Morocco two years. I could have told you we would have never won this war.
Darlene, Republican: I'm disappointed in the war. Initially, based on the information given, yeah, I was all for it. Go, go, go, let's make some change. And then about a year later, I'm saying, now how many years is this supposed to go on? If I had any idea back when, I would have had a different opinion. I'm just disenchanted.
Ron, Democrat: What's going on in Iraq will continue for years. It'll be worse than Vietnam. We have people in Washington who are not truthful. (Later, he added:) We need different foreign policy: Iran, North Korea, our approach has been arrogant and assertive. Not working with the international community.
Damon, Democrat: I say the war also. Spending billions of dollars overseas while people in Louisiana are still suffering. Are you going to rebuild? I don't see money being pushed down in that area.
Larry C., independent: The biggest thing on my mind is the war. Thirty-three men have been killed in September. I'm a former military man. It really irritates me that there's no plan. And they want to commit troops through 2010. That's ridiculous. How many people are we going to lose between now and then?
Julia, independent: I never supported this war. Preemptive action for the United States for any reason whatsoever is just way out of line. As each day goes by, I'm convinced we were sold a bill of goods. I've never trusted this administration.
Adam, independent: It's just a lack of coherent vision in domestic policy, foreign policy for the future. It seems like everything's based toward the next election. It's bickering back and forth. Who's going to gain control of Congress seems to be the biggest issue - and not where are we going to be 10 years from now, where are we going to be 20 years from now? It's not about the next decade. It's about next month. The war is a problem. We need to gather people together. Administration doesn't want to hear other people's opinions. They call it "resolve," and to me it's stubbornness.
Bonnie, independent: Education is a universal problem. Education is not respected.
Adam, independent: I was in Tanzania in an exchange program with the University of Florida. Every student there dressed in their best clothes when they went to school.
Julia, independent: We have single parents who cannot afford a higher tuition or a safe place to live. Health care is not affordable. These are the responsibilities of the government, to provide an equal opportunity to all. The lesser of society don't have the basic things a human being deserves.
Kathleen, Republican: There's no discipline or control in the school. There's a lot of disruptions. I have two teenagers in the high school. In one period a student would throw things at the window. You cannot learn in that environment. They're just moving kids along. It's sad.
Ani, Democrat: As an educator, I'm totally against the FCAT. Education should be for the whole person. Everything that feeds the soul is cut away, like the arts.
Health care
Harry, Democrat: I'm retiring in a few years, and I'm concerned about affording continuing health care. How do we continue to pay for it? While I'm working, I'm okay, but when I retire, I'm concerned how am I going to do it.
Darlene, Republican: Elder care is big for me - I took care of my mom at the house for eight years after her strokes - finding a good nursing home and the political game with Medicare and Medicaid.
Doug, Republican: Health care is an issue. I don't think anything is going to change until our congressmen need to get their own insurance.
Larry C., independent: I'd rather spend money on health care than on a war.
Julia, independent: I haven't had health care insurance for four years. I'm just in a position now with my business that I can afford it.
Leonard, Democrat: I sent an e-mail to Charlie Crist and addressed seven questions to him, and he sent me back all this stuff and answered me. I said I will vote for you but it's a contract. Majority of the people I vote for are Democrats. I did not get an answer back from Davis.
Melinda, Democrat: At the federal level, same-sex marriage should be legalized. I remember one ad campaign; I'm going to vote for the guy who is the opponent of the guy against same-sex.
Adam, independent: Focus our resources on America. We're trying to spread our influence everywhere and we have pressing issues here.
Adam Steadman, 32, St. Petersburg: Born in St. Petersburg, lived here most of his life. Runs a store in John's Pass that makes candles for sale to tourists. Lived in Tanzania for a year. Travels a lot. (He notes that the Tanzanian election went off without a hitch in 2000.)
