A weight-loss sub-thread of The Long Green Ribbon Thread.
Hello folks,
As we seem to be chatting about weight loss on the GNR thread a lot, I thought I would start a sub-thread so that we can chat about weight loss here, and not drive everyone crazy about it.
I read somewhere that for every pound in weight you lose, if you are a regular runner, then it could be worth 2 seconds off each mile if you run a marathon, or up to 6 seconds off each mile if you are running a 10k. I have to try and find that information again so I can see how accurate that was. If anyone can help me out there I'd be grateful.
I personally would like to shift 2 stone if at all possible. This would give me nearly 15 minutes off my best marathon time, if the information I have read is correct.
How much weight would other people like to lose?
I do not believe in faddy diets, where you are only eating one or two items of food at every meal, so any of that chat can be taken elsewhere..... Slimming World and Weight Watchers chat is ok though.....
Wipe your feet on the way in.
Hi Vixx (not a GNRer)
It was in RW sometime last year, I remember reading it.
I've been HM training all winter and having lost about 8lbs before Xmas, it has all snuck back on and then some, so I'm back on WW to lose some b4 my next HM (5 weeks) to try and knock another few mins off. Despite the weight gain I did manage to knock 14 mins off my time for RHM from last year so something must be going right. Am trying a total embargo on chocolate and dried fruit (my personal foibles) so I'll see if that helps the will power, which ultimately is what is required, along with sensible habits and persistance.
Good Luck.
Hi Foxy,
I know what you mean about weight gain - it just sneaks up sometimes.
I worked out that I am 2 stone 4lbs heavier than when I ran in Edinburgh in 2006, but have knocked nearly 40 mins off my marathon PB since then. I am starting to get muscle strain now though after various races and I feel it is because of the extra weight I am carrying.
I need to get my body fat stats done so I can see where I am at, and how much fat weight I need to lose.
Well done on your 14 minutes - that's still excellent effort
And you are right - sensible habits are important in the long run, to get it off and keep it off.
The weight that is......
Found it
There was a nice little table in Runner's World this month that illustrates how much faster you could be if you lost weight. Of course, this would not take into account speed increases due to training.
Pounds Lost 5k10k1/2 Marathon Marathon2:12.4:25:521:455311:022:114:22101:022:044:228:44202:044:088:4417:28
According to RW author Amby Burfoot, the table is based on research that runners, on average get 2 seconds per mile faster for every pound they lose. The times you see above are the amounts a runner can shave off his/her race times by losing weight.
Feel motivated?Note: Weight loss is for people who are overweight - not for people who are already slim. Losing weight when you are slim means you are losing muscle tissue and that means you are losing strength which in turn makes you slower. If at all in doubt, discuss with a professional (a doctor or your coach).

Hmm ! Wonder if I could crack a sub 1hr 10K then -
lose 2 stone that's 28lbs = 56 seconds per mile (almost a minute!) so almost 6mins off my 10k pb of 1:04:54 - Cool ! !
Is that right ?
Bugger - I didn't notice that the table came out like that....
RLTW - that's about right......
My 10k PB is 1:04:48......
We could both go sub-60 on that basis......
Ah yes, but when? How long do your reckon it should take us to lose that much (in a reasonably healthy fashion) ?
Haven't actually been on the scales for months .
I suppose it also depends on how much I weighed when I got the PB.
Best of luck with the weight loss ladies!
Posted this on GNR thread before I noticed Vixx had started this!
Haha! just done that calculation Martin posted last night!
To be at the ideal weight for a non-active person, I'd need to lose over 30 lbs, and the 10% goal would see me losing 45lbs! Not on your life!
That gives you an indication of my weight, but given that the scale used by WeightWatchers puts me at 'only' 10lbs overweight , I'll stick with my 1 stone goal for now - anything more than that will be a bonus!
Try this: Calculator for pace gained vs weight - just 3lbs loss should see me cracking my HM PB (although I should just do it anyway based on recent training....)
If you want the weight loss to stay off then it should be lost at no more than 2lb per week, unless you really have it to lose.
Thus GNR at this point, with approximately 20 weeks to go, would be the appropriate time frame to lose between 1 and 2 stone, and get a new PB into the bargain......
Hi Rodeo CLownz - what's your injury? How long are you likely to be out for? It's good that you can still use the bike as it'll give you some cross training.
Welcome to the thread
Foxy - are you wanting to lose weight?
I think we should have Friday as weigh-in day. What do you think?
Hi Vixx - great idea this thread
Don't have lots of weight to lose, but a few pounds off would be good. Not going to lose any before Edinburgh marathon though. Just want to eat more healthily, and in smaller quantities .
Tanita body fat scales say my fat percentage is 24.2 - is that good or bad? BMI is 22.
Friday- because it's before the weekend blow-out, very sonsible!
I have several weight goals- need to lose about 6 to get to last year's RHM weight (although was very ill just b4) , another couple to get to where I blipped down to before Xmas blow-out, and another 5 to achieve the dream/fantasy weight (pre kids/running etc.) So a total of about a stone. Would like to lose about 6 over next 5 weeks before Wokingham HM and then steadily shed the rest which I know will be really hard to achieve- they've been there a while now so will be the hardest to lose!!
Just run 11.5 miles so that was about 1200 cals, however ate 70 cals of jelly tots on route!! 3 runs like that is a lb/week, but want to do it without impacting some fairly full on HM training.
RtG - you are pretty much good to go. Body fat is in the right range for age, and your BMI isn't anything to worry about. At this point it is how YOU feel that matters.
Foxy - how did you work out your calorie burn? The adage of 100 cals/mile is based on a 55kg woman, so if you weight less you will have burned less and vice versa. The 70 cals of jelly tots were necessary, and if it is anything like when I had jelly tots on a long run you will have lost most of the sugar into your pocket....
Mick - 13st 6lb is certainly do-able, even with your injury, but at the moment you should be focussing on healing first - plenty of calcium for you.
I might do a 'Tip of the Week' to put on here on a Friday too......
Great idea Vixx !
Friday it is ! Just need to find the scales . . I think my eldest nicked them. Haven't weighed myself for ages but I feel like I;ve put on weight over the last few weeks (since the kids started asking for crisps to have with their school lunches )
Foxy - How did you lose your 2lbs?
So 2 stone weight loss by GNR = knocking off 12+ minutes = a sub 2:30 half marathon - oh yeh!
Do you have 2 stone to lose RLTW??
Was it you or RtG who started the Long Green Ribbon thread? I have to give correct respect to whomever I have partially plagiarised from.....

At the heart of these stories is Donald Draper, the creative genius of the company. That professional creative brilliance belies the fact of a troubled childhood, one that he would rather forget and not let anyone know about except for a select few, but one that shaped who he is as an adult and as an ad man in the need not only to sell products but sell himself to the outside world. His outward confidence also masks many insecurities as evidenced through his many vices, such as excessive smoking, drinking and womanizing – the latter despite being a family man – and how he deals with the aftermath of some of the negative aspects of his life.

|Channel Islands Neck Beard 5'6 Surfboard - NKBD-307997 in Poly/Sand/Color
Style: NKBD-307997
After a year of tinkering with different concepts, Dane Reynolds launches the Neck Beard, his favorite free-surf board. No longer working to hide volume from the judges like with the Dumpster Diver, Dane is letting it all hang out with a wider nose and chop tail. With light single concave and vee out the back, this board is faster down the line, has increased rail-to-rail transition, and is more stable when landing airs. Super user-friendly, this is the board Dane grabs when its 1-foot to head-high. Dane rides the Neck Beard as a tri-fin and as a quad for speed. Comes with a five fin setup to get the best of both worlds. If you are a fan of the Dumpster Diver, then definitely grow out your Neck Beard. Order yours 4 to 6 inches shorter than your height.

Hi Guys!
About a year back I brought a sample of Dan Cong Oolong, and I loved it. To my great horror, when I bought a 50g bag a while later, the taste just wasn't the same. It had a sparkly water sort of quality and was just generally diluted. This when using the same water and brewing techniques etc.
Quite disappointed I put the bag away. After about 6 months I found it again and thought to myself 'oh what the heck, might as well drink it'. To my surprise it had changed and was the wonderful tea from the sample!
Now I'm a complete noob when it comes to ageing, but can tea really age even in a zip-lock bag? Would it be a good idea to age this type of Oolong in the future, perhaps in a more adequate container?

Skip to comments.The Power of Being Offended in Order to Shut Down Political Debate
Posted on 04/21/2013 9:56:26 PM PDT by ReformationFan
Has society really become quite thin-skinned, or is acting offended a new tactic that is being used to shut down legitimate political debate? Progressives are increasingly claiming to be offended whenever those on the right disagree with their left-wing positions. It doesn't matter what the issue is; the left will divert a legitimate political debate into an accusation that the right disagrees with them because they are full of hate towards them. This puts the right on the defensive, and removes the real debate from discussion. It then becomes difficult for the right to ever prevail with their position, because to do so would mean hate had won.
(Excerpt) Read more at townhall.com ...
I throw their PC nonsense right back at themand put the onus in their lap.
Conservative: "If it offends you too much to discuss this we don't have to. We're not the ones seeking changes that would require we discuss it."
I have been offended by people that feel offended since 1974.
Buck up mister!
I'm offended by this thread. Mods, shut it down!
The offensenicks pervert a principle that is Christian enough, which is that one should endeavor not to wreck the spiritual growth of a brother or sister by reining in their use of Christian freedoms where appropriate. However when the people involved steadfastly resist redemption, or insist that "society" furnish "their kind" of redemption (e.g. "gay marriage" in the name of "equality") — it is an abuse and a spiritual train wreck.
I like to tell them that I find whatever leftard drivel they have babbled to be "very offensive."
It's just to much hand wringing LOL
That's just because you are a racist. And a homophobe. And a xenophobe. And a hater. /libtard
LOL right on target
Racist = Someone who disagrees with a liberal.
Well, often this sort of situation crops up when conservatives try to keep liberals from wholly hogging the political floor (as with the recent "gay marriage" push).
"I ♥ Hater's"
I laughed my *** off!
The "I'm offended" card is played on both sides. The way to shut someone down that says they are offended is to let them know their being offended is not your concern, the issue at hand is not about their feelings. Then tell them to grow up.
And that about sums the liberal "argument" up.
Nothing is played more than the race card and nothing is more politically correct than the discussion about race.
It's past time to stop that nonsense.
The left acting "offended" to sidestep an issue reminds me of Ann Coulter's complaint of liberals relying on "womanly indignation" to sidestep an issue.
I remember she called it something along the lines of "the doctrine of the the absolute infallibility of a sobbing, hysterical woman."
If they demand death to chivalry, it's tempting to treat them as though chivalry was indeed dead. Tell off the weeper the same as if she was a fellow.
Good point regarding liberal hypocricy.
I hadn't heard that, but its an excellent analogy. Yes, guys will typically do anything to keep a lady from becoming noticeably upset with them, at least in public.
I am offended by your offensive attitude regarding offended people.
Is this the argument clinic?
Im offended, too, Dmitri. Im very offended. All right, youre offended more than I am, but I am as offended as well. I am as offended as you are, Dmitri! Dont say that youre more offended than I am, because Im capable of being just as offended as you are. So were both offended, all right?! All right.
Let's just say we're equally offended.
What a fantastic movie.
I never tire of it.
[[Has society really become quite thin-skinned, or is acting offended a new tactic that is being used to shut down legitimate political debate? Progressives are increasingly claiming to be offended whenever those on the right disagree with their left-wing positions.]]
Yes, the left uses it as a very effective tactic because htey know damn well the right will never stop them in their tracks by sayign somethign along htel ine of "Zip it- Grow some nuts nancy, and quitcherwhinin- you'r makign an ass of yourself and our forefathers and women woudl be ashamed of you for acting liek little kids- now pull yetr skirts up and at trhe very least pretend you're an adult for 10 secodns so we can get thsi issue debated without all the drama queen crap- ok? Thanks!"
It's sarcasm.
But you knew that LOL
Yes I nkow- which is why i made the joke about hating haters- which makes me a hater- which means UI must hate myself too-
It was Lenin who first coined the phrase "political correctness"...
That is an offensive question.
I'm not sure if anyone here will be offended...
but this reminds me of a science fiction story I've heard about by a certain David Brin (who apparently is a libertarian-type), where some guy comes from the future and is asked what future society is like. He responds:
In the future, there will only be two laws;
1. Thou shalt not offend others.
2. Thou shalt not allow thyself to be too easily offended.
If only that could be the case. It's more like we're their bizarro-world opposite... and by design.
Someone once accused me of racism. I asked her if she understood the laws of libel and slander, and how painfully difficult, and excruciatingly expensive it would be to defend herself against such a charge in court. Because to prove that she wasn't slanderous and libellous she would have had to prove that I was, as she says a "Racist". The definition of "Racism" is belief in the inherent superiority of one race over another.Oh, the woman apologised and retracted.
Politically correctophile leftist extremist use accusations of racism much like stones were used in the 7th century
>>Conservative: If it offends you too much to discuss this we dont have to. Were not the ones seeking changes that would require we discuss it.
Excellent. More of us need to use this argument.
I always tell them I'm offended every quarter when I ink those checks payable to the IRS. And when I look at the sales tax total on a register receipt, it offends me.
And when I see all the government deadheads driving around in shiny new vehicles, it offends me when I climb into my 02 Dodge PU withe 360K miles on it.
Look at their gallery of euphemisms to find out what the left is doing that they know is offensive. They have to hide their offensiveness under a heavy blanket of euphemism and misdirection.
Pro-choice: murder
Diversity: elevation of all other cultures above the American culture and elevation of all other races above whites. giving the "preferred" race a pass so that members don't have to meet the same selection standards for college admission. etc.
undocumented: illegal
social justice: stealing from people who work hard and giving some of their money to the poor, but giving most of it to lawyers and "community organizers" who run shake-down scams
climate change: another shakedown scam that had to change its name when the "science" of global warming became more difficult to fake
My favorite recent example was the kerfuffle about the recording of Mitch McConnell discussing Ashley Judd. David Korn was interviewed about this and claimed it was important and relevant because the tone was mocking and derisive.
Has anyone on the left ever listened to the MSM?????
The tone is mocking and derisive whenever they speak about a conservative. Tea Party. Sarah Palin. Any conservative person they disagree with. The venom spewed by the left regarding their targets makes anything McConnell said look tame.
So lefties, before you get your panties in a wad about "offensiveness" try checking the mirror.
I blame the useful dupes within the Democratic Party Trash proper for getting rid of the "like" buttons in the local newspapers...
...why we can't allow citizens making truthful insightful comments getting favorable comments from others, why, that may empower them. But we'll let the keep the 'offended' button and maybe they won't notice.
Which indicates they are losing...
The Right has gotten very tired of being the only ones who's values are offended, and has decided it's time to call a spade a spade.
If 'gays' get 'offended' when I call them a FAG - too bad.
If 'undocumented immigrants' get 'offended' when they are called BORDER INVADERS - too bad.
If 'redistributionists' get 'offended' when their 'its for the chilrun' schemes get exposed and are correctly labeled THIEVES - again; too bad.
If 'progressives' get 'offended' when called SOCIALISTs; GOLLY!! too bad.
They can take their mealy-mouthed 'offense' and stick it where our schools are teaching our children it's all right to place things.
Just ignore the thin-skinned libs.
You've reminded me of another:
If MORMONs are offended when their chosen 'religion' is exposed on FR - too bad.

In Short
Wearables are the next big frontier for smart technology. And on March 18, 2014, Google announced its part in it — Android Wear. As the name implies, Android Wear is an Android-based initiative, using Google's mobile operating system and a dedicated software development kit to kick-start the wearables space.
On August 31, 2015, it was announced that Android Wear would also be compatible with iOS devices. iOS users can receive notifications & Google Now cards, as well as use voice commands, using the LG Watch Urbane — with other devices said to follow down the road.
Android Wear brings Google into the small space, in a big way
Android Wear is starting with smartwatches, but it isn't solely a Google endeavor. Wearables from Motorola, LG, ASUS, Samsung, and Sony have already hit the shelves, with several others expected by the end of the year. Google has said it's also working with other partners, including Broadcom, Imagination, Intel, Mediatek and Qualcomm. Even fashion brands like Fossil are in on Android Wear, and other fashion and luxury brands are bound to follow.
You can think of Android Wear as an extension of the experience we've grown to enjoy with Google Now. And just like with our smartphones, Android Wear will have us talking to our watches. You'll be able to speak to request information as well as reply to information you've already received. Weather info. Chats with friends and family. Direct queries. Direct actions.

- I enjoy a number of crafts, but I'm usually more interested in the product than the process. I've done mosaic art, basic crochet, some marginal watercolor, and a whole lot of scrapbooking. I can usually draw straight lines.
- I took a typography course in college and am fascinated by letterpress printing. Someday I hope we have a typography studio at i3 with a big old Vandercook or something.
- I know basic HTML & CSS. I fell off the web development wagon in 2002, but I know enough to install Wordpress. I am currently learning to program, starting in Python.
- I sing alto in a concert choir, and am dying to learn to arrange music for SATB voices. Learning to playing piano or guitar would be nice, too. I've ruled out instruments I can't sing with.
- I'm fluent in LOLcat.
- Kitchen stuff (stove, oven, sink) so we can do craaaazy molecular gastronomy classes.
- Getting the podcast studio up and running so I can use it for multitracking [2]
- I'm dying for i3 to set up a typography/letterpress studio.

At Cogswell College we believe that the best lessons are those learned by doing. Our newest studio class – Studio E – is no exception. Students in this class under the leadership of faculty, Thomas Applegate, have an ambitious goal but are confident of success. The crew of 18 is creating the art assets, 3D reference models, animation, programming and audio content for an original story created by Thomas.
Over the course of the next 18 months, the team will create a short animation based on the story along with an interactive book version for mobile platforms to deepen the reader's experience and further immerse them in the story. Students will take the project from the beginning development phase, through pre-production, then full production mode and finally post production. During the class students are given the chance to work in a setting that mirrors a professional studio and will follow an industry-standard production pipeline.
But in typical Cogswell fashion, the learning process has a twist. While the crew adheres to a full-blown production cycle, much of the work in the various phases will be done in tandem. Pre-production will happen in step with the development phase and some full production will happen while pre-production is still going on. This is possible because everyone works on the same files so the work can progress in stages. Environment artists create temporary environments that can be filled in later while character artists and animators can do rough animation in the temporary environment so they don't have to wait for the finished environments to do their jobs.
"I really want the students to go through the entire design process and learn what is expected of them when they begin working in the industry," said Applegate. "We started with the story and the visual design, then created a full 2D animatic, from which we are drawing all our information to create the pre-vis animatic, animation, color script, as well as color and lighting keys to establish art direction."
In addition Cogswell's learn-by-doing class format, students work on state-of-the-art equipment. Studio E is equipped with Wacom Cintiq monitors which allow you to paint right on the monitor. According to several of the students it took a little adjusting to transition from drawing on a desktop tablet to drawing on a monitor but the consensus is that this is one of the best classes they have taken.
Check out the video for more information stay tuned to find out how the project progresses.

The Art of HearingPosted by George Grella in Exhibitions, Experimental Music, tags: Jacob Kirkegaard, Museum of Modern Art, Sergei Tcherepnin, Stephen Vitiello, Tristan Perich
The pseudo-fact that we are 'visual creatures' has been drummed into mass culture for the past several decades. It's pernicious pieces of propaganda, one of those marketing tools that is so pervasive and in-plain-sight that social critics and paranoids searching for subliminal messages and methods of mass coercion not only overlook it, they embrace it. We see and therefore we buy what we see is the way it goes, from artful design to pornography to fine art, where currently overcompensated rentiers pay immoral sums for works meant that, when hung on the wall of the McMansion, are meant to dazzle and intimidate with their pedigree and cost.
It's bullshit, of course. Yes we see and are interested in what we see, but our most important sense organ is our ears, we are hearing creatures. Our eyes are promiscuous and fickle, what pleases them changes from year to year and culture to culture. But our ears are connected to our lizard brains and our souls. The thing that goes bump in the night is universal and eternal, the way it sets our hearts racing and sense on edge is as human as it gets, and the effect that sound has on us is exponentially more powerful than that of images. As R. Murray Schafer has pointed out, we can't close our ears.

GIRLS HOCKEY: Marshall routs Worthington/Fulda 13-0
MARSHALL – Teegan Wyffels and Miranda Fischer supplied much of Marshall's offense during a 13-0 Southwest Conference rout of Worthington/Fulda on Tuesday at Lockwood Motors Ice Arena.
Wyffels and Fischer each scored hat tricks with three goals and three assists – all in the first period – as both ended up with six points in the game. It sparked a 9-0 rally, helping the Tigers take control through 17 minutes.
Marshall led 2-0 in less than three minutes. Wyffels buried a pass from Fischer and Megan Vogl to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead at the 14:21 mark before Mikenna Radke scored on a pass from Lizzie Archbold and Hanna Peterson 14 seconds later.
With 12:19 and 11:23 left in the first period, Wyffels set up Fischer, who deposited the next two MHS goals. At the 8:07 mark, Fischer returned the favor by assisting on Wyffels second goal of the game as the Tigers led 5-0.
Vogl and Wyffels scored 15 seconds apart to give Marshall a 7-0 lead with 6:12 left in the first period. Wyffels and Mikayla Campion assisted on Vogl's goal, while Fischer set up Wyffels for the second time.
Fischer added an unassisted tally with at the 3:07 mark before Peterson made it 9-0 Marshall on a pass from Archbold 25 seconds left.
"After a four-game road trip to begin our season, you could see our girls were excited to play at home in front of their fans," Tigers assistant coach Kevin Moran said. "We had a lot of intensity and energy, especially in the first period."
Moran was in charge for head coach Kevin Schroeder, who attended a Marshall City Council meeting Tuesday night.
Marshall improved to 1-3-1 overall and 1-0-0 against the Southwest Conference this season.
Archbold, Haley Lorenz, Jessica Blanchard and Allie Bladholm all scored second-period goals to give the Tigers a 13-0 cushion.
MHS, which outshot the Trojans 27-4 in the first period, ended up with a 42-9 advantage in shots through 51 minutes.
With the lopsided scored in Marshall's favor, Moran said many Tigers had the opportunity for ice time.
"The good thing about a game like this is that we can get our younger players some varsity-level experience during a game," Moran said. "We were able to work on a few things, defensively, and all of players were a part of it."
Tigers' goalie Sierra Wagner stopped all nine shots she faced, while her Worthington/Fulda counterpart, Bailey Kruse, had 29 saves on 42 Marshall shots.
With only two penalties in the game – one on each side – there were no power-play goals.
Marshall returns to the ice at 5 p.m. Friday, when it hosts a two-day varsity tournament against Luverne; Brookings, S.D; and Watertown, S.D. The tournament resumes action at 11 a.m. Saturday.
First Period – 1. Marshall, Teegan Wyffels (Megan Vogl, Miranda Fischer), 2:39; 2. Marshall, Mikenna Radke (Lizzie Archbold, Hanna Peterson), 2:55; 3. Marshall, Miranda Fischer (Teegan Wyffels), 4:41; 4. Marshall, Miranda Fischer (Teegan Wyffels), 5:45; 5. Marshall, Teegan Wyffels (Miranda Fischer), 8:53; 6.

Third Period – No scoring. Penalties – Worthington/Fulda, Coral Owens (slashing), 6:32.
Shots on Goal – Worthington/Fulda 4-3-2-9; Marshall 27-12-3-42.

Mizuno Wave Cabrakan
$125, 12.5 oz, www.mizuno.com
You won't misplace the shocking-orange Cabrakans in your closet. The techy-looking shoe is Mizuno's Wave Ascend 4 (a great all-around shoe in its own right) on steroids, albeit at a scant weight gain of an ounce per shoe, featuring a beefed-up, pronation-controlling "wave" insert from the heel to midfoot. A couple of testers thought the heel felt a bit too elevated for their styles.
While the heel pocket is rock solid, the forefoot area is flexible, providing a very runable feel, and the laterally overlapping upper gave a locked-on fit. The Wave Cabrakan fits medium to wide feet, and is a great stability shoe at a modest weight, the Cadillac of this review.
TESTERMONIAL: "The sturdy `Wave' plate in the heel makes the shoe very stable. Overall, it is a nice-fitting, lightweight stability shoe." —Jeremy Duncan, Carbondale, CO

New Additions
LAKEWOOD – If you want a new pair of dress slacks and have a craving for sushi, you will soon be able to satisfy both needs in one location.
The Lakewood Village Plaza, 279 E. Fairmount Ave., Lakewood, across from the Chautauqua Mall, will be adding two new stores this summer. One is the Men's Warehouse and the other is the Fuji Grill. Both businesses will be housed in the store locations that are currently empty on the east end of the plaza. Charles Smith, Lakewood village code enforcement officer and building inspector, said officials from the Men's Warehouse have sent him construction plans to be reviewed.
"They are getting contractor prices, and I'm doing the plan review," he said.
Smith estimated the business should be open by the end of the summer.
The Fuji Grill is a sushi and hibachi restaurant. In North America, the term hibachi refers to a small cooking stove heated by charcoal, that is called a shichirin in Japanese, or to an iron hot plate used in teppanyaki restaurants. At the restaurant location inside the plaza, no date is given on when it will open, but a sign hanging in the window says "coming soon."
Smith said after the two businesses enter the plaza it will not yet be filled. Recently, DFT Technology Plus has moved out of the plaza. A sign on the door, where the business was located, states it has consolidated with another DFT store into one location at 332 Fluvanna Ave. The business opened in September 2011.
Also in the fall of 2011, the plaza started adding new stores like T.J. Maxx, Michaels, PetSmart, Olympia Sports and Sally Beauty. When Quality Markets closed in April 2010, the plaza had no anchor businesses until it added T.J. Maxx, Michaels and PetSmart. The businesses that have been in the plaza throughout the changes include Bob's Vintage Wines and Liquors, Wright's Music Shed, Sherwin-Williams, Cosmo Prof and Little Caeser's.
The Lakewood Village Center plaza is owned by Widewaters Construction of Dewitt. Widewaters Construction officials invested $3.5 million into renovating and improving the plaza for the arrival of the new businesses.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (468 votes).
In short: Lacked the pazzaz of previous years. In full: Lacked the pazzaz of previous years. Although the Bog Of Doom looked cool with the fire and the smoke. I just didn't pick up on much atmosphere prior & post race. Organisation was average - usual complaints: not enough toilets for 2000 people and spectators (any they were filthy), baggage drop for the guys was horrendous. Was stood in a queue soaking and freezing waiting to get my bag back (which unlike so many I had the forsedight to prep with loads of warm dry kit) while some Air Cadets argued amongst themselves over who would get the backs from the building, inside which there was clearly no system. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate volunteers and the like (we couldn't do it without them) BUT I think some adult supervision might be beneficial in future. Thought the T Shirt was awful, one of the worst I've had. Cotton is fine (although for £20 entry fee a Tech T Shirt would be better)but I thought the quality and design was proper chad (2006 was a good one for reference). However I love this race because of the challenge not neccessarily becuase of the organisation. So would still do it again in a heartbeat. More cold please, it made it far more challenging for faster runners. Thorouhgly enjoyed watching the under-prepared suffer! More of that please and it'll be worth Date of review: November 29, 2010
In short: i look forward to this race all year.In full: my third running of hellrunner and i knew it was going to be tough today, managed a fast tme due to not being able to run throw the puddles, it was cold and baggage could have been a little better, but i had cracking bath and jack daniels when i got home, ill be back for more.Date of review: November 29, 2010
In short: Hell Frozen Over!!In full: Bliddy cold but a great day again, VIP parking a must for ths now....See you next yearDate of review: November 29, 2010
In short: frezzing cold...but what a race!Date of review: November 28, 2010
In short: My fifth hell down south....and the coldest yetIn full: I've run this race in all conditions but today was the coldest by far. Initially felt the lack of water took away some of the fun but not so with the slippery trails & hills. Always enjoy the event - todays highlights were the goody bags, also for the kids race which my son loved, the convenience VIP parking, smaller field of runners so less bottlenecks (due to the multi day/waves). The lowlights were the toilets and agree with other comments on those poor people suffering with cold standing waiting to get their bags back. Lucky there was no icy wind blowing. Overall a good atmosphere though the early part of the race seemed subdued with marshalls & spectators quieter than normal (mabe as the marshals had worked the same race the previous day?). Better in the latter stages though. Having participated in a number of races at Longmoor I understand the basic conditions so expect no more - maybe the same should be made clearer to first timers. Sad to hear of runners suffering on the course & no marshalls nearby. Hope it was nothing serious as this is meant to be a challenging but fun event for all. A big thanks to the guy on the Buff store who gave my son a buff for free (really made my sons day) & the physios who gave him a post race massage (he's only 5 y/o!) after the little devils run :-) Will be back next year and may try some of the other HR events. Hopefully the organisers will take the feedback on board for next years race.Date of review: November 28, 2010
In short: Soooooooo cooooooold!! In full: Brilliant fun again, never been so cold in my life but so worth it. Will be back next year! Great goodie bag and well organised event. Still wish they would give us a medal after all that efoort though ;)Date of review: November 28, 2010
In short: Great course but a complete shambles at the end with the coldIn full: This course was great fun but the organisers seriously messed up at the end.If you organise a race at the end of November that involves people getting wet in some of the coldest conditions of the year, then have the decency to at least hand out foil blankets to everyone at the end. People had to hound the St John Ambulance guys for blankets, who inevitably ran out through no fault of their own. I had to help a number of people at the end who were in complete agony.You charged enough for the event so a blanket or heated marquee at the end wouldn't have been too much to ask for!Date of review: November 28, 2010
In short: Why Oh Why?In full: Seriously. Why do we do things like this to ourselves? I've just got the feelings back in my fingers, the smelly silt out of places I never knew I had, and am ready for bed at 7.30.Utter madness. When can I sign up for next year?Date of review: November 28, 2010
In short: Really hard but great funIn full: I knew about the bog, but somehow didn't realise quite how much would be running up hills or mounds and then straight back down the other side - far too steep to run. Mostly a really tough, really good trail run then they throw in a couple of mud baths / lakes just to make things a bit more interesting. Lots of fun, great scenery, great run, well organised, nice goody bag. Good stuff. As that other lot used to say - just do it!Date of review: November 28, 2010
In short: Absolute Hell. It was Brilliant, Fantastic.......Next, Hell in the Middle.In full: The Hell series are Awesome. No point moaning about stuff, dig in, grit your teeth and get on with it. If you want changing rooms, showers, mile markers, warm water Bogs or any other "nice" things then just don't enter. All these things make the Hell series award handsome bragging rights to those that complete them! There are plenty of other "nice" races about.It was hard as Hell and I loved it.Date of review: November 28, 2010

Super Bowl Madness
If you were out and about last Sunday night in Brighton or Pittsford, you may have noticed it was as desolate as a New York amusement park in January. No doubt most of you were tucked into any Lazy Boy you could find watching the Super Bowl with fervored intensity.
Personally, I switched back and forth between the Lifetime movie and the creative commercials you can always count on during this much anticipated American tradition. O.K. I know there's a bunch of you Monday morning quarterbacks shaking your head in disgust at my indifference. However, not all of us enjoy man-to-man combat mixed in with a gauche display of pomp and circumstance.
Don't get me wrong, I too had a love of the game many years ago, but football went out of my life when my husband caught me late one Monday night jumping up and down on our bed screaming with a cordless phone glued to my ear to a local bookie about the point spread. (I'm pretty sure that the statute of limitations has run out as far as my embarassing confession) Needless to say, after witnessing such a display of histrionics, my husband gently suggested that football probably just wasn't for me. I concurred. Besides, when your not a fan, the observations of the social mores concerning the ceremonious preparations of the ubiquitous Super Bowl parties are far more interesting than the actual game.
Let's start with the gastronomics. Are we what we eat? if so, folks are generic potato chips (that can easily be used as a weapon when thrown at the T.V. during a bad play) while others are more "refined" Super Bowl party consumers as I found out last Sunday while visiting the Pittsford Wegmans. A polite puzzled customer asked me if raw snow peas would meld appropriately with the sushi dish she would be contributing to the "Bowl" party she was attending.
Now I'm not a bulbous-bellied 6 pack a day football lover, but I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall at the sushi party. It's just my opinion, but raw tuna and rice don't belong at a spectacle that's the closest we've come to a gladiator competition since the first century A.D. I bet those crowds weren't throwing tuna at the competitors. I also would venture to guess that there was a lot more Pinot Noir being sipped than beer being guzzled.
Now I also happened to peruse the city's only Wegman's and I saw many a Milwaukee beer buying customer with their favorite team's face paint already proudly affixed to their excited Super Bowl "mugs."
Whether sushi or chips, it looks like our town folk were enjoying the "big event" in their own special way. By the way, the Lifetime movie was fabulous, and there wasn't a painted face in the house, or tuna for that matter. I guess variety is the spice of life.

I was surprised to find that at 10pm lights were on in the cafe and front room with some long-term vollies working.
So - in the interest of clarity and harmony:
can we agree that lights go off and candles go out at DUSK for the entire cafe space and that if KMs are too busy to do this by the end of their shift than volunteers need to be told to do it at 7.
The cafe looks really ugly if it isn't lit up well at night but looks lovely by candle light.
No one told volunteers about daylights savings time / the change of the season so many have been waiting till 9 to put out candles. 9pm is the summer time rule. It gets darker earlier in winter.

Our City Deserves A Better Effort
To The Reader's Forum:
Personal feelings about gay marriage aside, I'm exasperated by what appears to be self-serving incompetence by our leaders.
My office overlooks the old Brooklyn Square area. On any given day, outside my window, many unemployed and underemployed citizens plod the broken sidewalks of our city looking for ways to make a better life for themselves and their families. Our city fathers have betrayed us, either by intention or by incompetence. For our President of the City Council to celebrate this tourist wedding plan as some sort of significant achievement for our community is laughable.
I don't believe he understands the scope of our city's problems or need. We need smarter people at the table; those who's agenda is not personally focused, those who's motivation is selfless service to a community in desperate need, those who have not become anesthetized by years of status quo, lackluster achievement, those who's scope of experience includes success. Our city deserves a better effort.
Dr William C. Blair

Several Elite Series pro's used the ABT Lures X2 Slow Sink Crankbait with great success in the 2011 season, catching numerous fish - as deep as 25-feet. A slow sinking, deep diving crankbait, it's designed to consistently reach depths of 18ft+. It's specially weighted so it will sink seductively on its own, allowing you to reach depths previously unreachable with standard deep diving crankbaits. "The key to fishing max depth is an extremely long cast! By counting it down, it will allow you to cover more productive and deeper water," says lure designer, Allen Borden. Available in a range of proven color combinations, get down deeper with the ABT Lures X2 Slow Sink Crankbait. For best action and casting results, ABT Lures recommends using 10lb to 14lb test line.

Comments: good bsit for gettin way down there, like when youre fishing a jerk bait in super cold water. be patient and let it sink for 20 seconds before starting to reel to get to that 20t ft or more. you can cover so much more productive water, and not have to reel in half a cast just to get it to the bottom like you do with a floater
From: Joe: USA
Comments: Had the bill PULL OUT of the body after about 4 fish on one bait. Otherwise, good lure with quality hooks.
From: David: Hobbs, NM
Comments: Casts like a bullet, and the baits are of very high quality. I can get about 12 feet depth on a straight retrieve with 10-pound fluoro, but you can also let it sink on a dead fall, where you can reach depths of 25 feet. It's a sinking crankbait, pretty cool. Chartreuse Black and Citrus Shad are my two favorites for Washington State. This is a very well made lure and well worth $7.99.

More cities are trying new ways to harvest energy from food that otherwise would rot in landfills.initiative into a full-scale program after two years.
Anaerobic digestion provides an outlet for the growing amount of food waste cities want to keep out of landfills.into effect in October, requiring any business that disposes of at least one ton of organic material a week to either donate the food, send it for composting or anaerobic digestion, or ship it to animal feed operations. State agencies awarded a $100,000 grant to a wastewater treatment plant in Boston Harbor to study the impact that co-digesting food waste will have on its operations.
Government assistance has a lot to do with why anaerobic digestion has taken off in Europe.economics to work, so this is also to some extent depending on subsidies from the government."

Eurocopter X3 Tops 2010 Sikorsky X2 Unofficial Speed Record
Eurocopter's X3 achieved an unofficial helicopter speed milestone on June 7 by attaining 255 knots true airspeed (KTAS) (around 293 mph or 472 km/hour) while in level flight. The company also reports that several days before that flight, the X3 reached a speed of 263 KTAS (about 303 mph or 487 km/hour) during a descent.

The 255-knot speed milestone occurred during a 40-minute test flight over southern France at an altitude of 10,000 feet. For the flight, Eurocopter used a pair of Rolls-Royce Turbomeca RTM322 turboshafts to power its X3 technology demonstrator.
By achieving the 255-knot mark, Eurocopter goes over Sikorsky's unofficial helicopter speed record set on Sept. 15, 2010 with its X2 technology demonstrator, which reached speeds of 250 KTAS in level flight and 260 KTAS in a shallow dive. Sikorsky retired the X2 prototype, precursor to the S-97 Raider military variant, in July 2011.
