Rated 5 out of 5 by Terry I bought these pants for my husband for our trip to Costa Rica. He was not sure at first, but after wearing them throught out our 11 day trip he wants me to buy him another pair. They are so comfortable and light waight. Having those pants we won't have to overpack. We highly recommend them! March 19, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by TSmithUSA Stands up to the Heat Wore these on a 16 hr flight Atlanta-Frankfurt-New Delhi and they were comfortable and looked sharp upon arrival. Best of all I remain comfortable despite the heat. Daily the temp gets above 104. Hottest day was 112. I did not expect a pair of nylon pants to be this comfortable. Would purchase again in a differennt color to add variety to my travel wardrobe April 30, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Susieann Easy care THe convertible pants make travel easy in warm and cool climites encountered in oine trip. They are easy to convert, easy to wash and dry, and look good, too. We would recommend them to anyone with limited space. May 12, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Scot10 Great item for variable weather Because my husband has liked wearing his regular nylon Anywhere Pants, I bought him 2 colors of the convertibles. They are a great addition to his travel wardrobe, as we were able to pack lightly for northern Scotland and were ready for warm AND cool weather. May 29, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Greenwich Best value These pants are the absolute best. Have two pair and have taken them around Europe and the western U.S. I now take no other pants as these fill the need for shorts, walking, and moderate dress for restaurants. Wash in the shower and dry in minutes. Zippered pocket allows for extra security. Good job. June 11, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Windem Good to go I've worn my regular anywhere pants for years. They are the best travel pants I've ever had and I can't understand why they are not available anymore??? If these pants, that have the same feel and fit as my others, hold up and wear as well I will be as completely satisfied as I have been with the regulars. November 5, 2010

The February 2012 issue, coming to your mailbox on or about Jan. 5, has an excellent article by Jamie Beckett about the perils of not doing a thorough preflight.
Before you put your hand up and yell, "Not another preflight article!," let me finish. Yes, anybody who's had more than an hour of flight instruction knows that a preflight is your very last chance to check out your airplane before you launch into the sky. But those of us with a few hundred hours or a few years in our logbooks might one day find ourselves "sleepwalking" through the process, as Jamie notes. It's not on purpose. Anything that is repetitious can become automatic, given enough time. Ever find yourself driving home from work and suddenly realize you don't remember how you got there? Scary.
We asked our digital subscribers to tell us the oddest thing they've ever found in a preflight, and we want to hear from you as well. Snakes? Missing controls? Something not so obvious and much more insidious?–Jill Tallman

Manager: Cargill to start up in September
The Cargill plant west of Fort Dodge is scheduled to begin operating in September, the site's top leader told a Fort Dodge audience Tuesday evening.
Al Viaene, the assistant vice president and facility manager, said Sept. 15 is the targeted startup date.
When full production capacity is reached, he added, the plant will consume 150,000 bushels of corn a day and turn out five products. Those products are dextrose, ethanol, feed for cattle, high gluten meal generally fed to poultry, corn germ and a molasses-like substance called corn steep liquor.
"You can make so many things out of corn it's ridiculous," he said.
He summed up the progress on the plant by saying "We're well on our way."
Viaene spoke to about 30 people at a meeting of the Well-Informed Webster People at the Light of the City Conference Center, 2175 180th St.
The Cargill facility is in the industrial park called Iowa's Crossroads of Global Innovation. Cargill purchased the facility from Tate & Lyle, which never operated it, in 2011.
"We bought the plant with the intent to grow this business here," Viaene said.
The company has 133 employees locally. Viaene said the majority of them come from a 40-mile radius of Fort Dodge.
He said there are a few positions left to fill and added that the plant will be fully staffed within a month.
In addition to the Cargill workers, up to 60 employees of contractors providing services like maintenance and security will be at the plant every day.
Many of the Cargill employees are now training at other company facilities. They will return to Webster County by the end of May and the process of commissioning the plant will then begin, according to Viaene.
Once production starts, 250 to 350 trucks full of corn will travel to the plant daily, he said.
The corn will go through a wet milling process to yield the various products.
Some of the dextrose, which will be in a liquid form, will be pumped through pipes to the CJ Bio America plant being constructed north of the Cargill facility. CJ Bio America will process the dextrose to produce amino acids used in animal feeds. The CJ Bio America plant is scheduled to open by early 2014.
The ethanol to be produced by Cargill will be shipped by rail to refineries.
Viaene said the animal feed will be shipped by rail to the Texas Panhandle, where it will be used by cattle producers.
The high gluten meal will also be sent to market via trains, he said. The corn germ will be sent to another Cargill facility, most likely in Blair, Neb., for further processing.
Viaene said the corn steep liquor will also probably go to another Cargill facility.
Local Cargill employees have already made an impact on the community. They raised $118,950 for the Fort Dodge Community Foundation and United Way. Viaene said they started with a goal of $20,000.
Last year, a handful of workers from the plant's engineering department restored the Armistead cabin at the Fort Museum and Frontier Village. Viaene said the company spent $20,000 on that project.
He said on April 9 company leaders will meet with representatives of local government, schools and fire departments to determine how Cargill can best contribute to the community.
Viaene said he hopes the Fort Dodge community can continue to provide the company with a talented work force. He said providing good housing and a quality of life for those workers which includes a recreation center, shopping opportunities, restaurants and high quality schools is important.

Weekend Catch Up...Valentines Day Look
Sorry for my delayed posting. I had a crazy weekend and took a sick day on Monday to recover. As I mentioned before I had my friend from home coming in for the weekend to celebrate her birthday. She also brought a friend to stay with her of whom we had not met before. All I have to say is "Drama Central"! My friends and I (meaning my friends here in Atlanta) hardly have any drama, and we all maintain a nice equilibrium. When my friend Cindy came into town, she brought her drama with her! Mainly it was her friend Tasha who caused the tension. Basically, she was just an inconsiderate house guest. My roommate Alex graciously gave up her bed so that my friend Cindy could sleep in there with Tasha. I won't go into too much detail, but let's say that by the 3rd night, my roommate Alex told Cindy "So where's Tasha sleeping tonight?" . Cindy replied, "With me" and Alex responded "Oh no, she's not sleeping in MY bed. If she apologizes and it's okay with Ren, she can sleep on the couch". Ouchers! So instead, Tasha didn't even sleep at our apartment, she slept at her cousin's place. Crazy huh? I'm wondering why she didn't stay there in the first place…
Anyhow, this weekend I was able to do Cindy's makeup. I gave her a soft silver and blue look which looked really pretty on her. Unfortunately she wears these blue colored contacts which really irritate her eyes so every time I tried doing her eye makeup her eyes would tear up! Luckily I had visine on hand…just another situation you need to anticipate when doing one's makeup. I'll post pictures later.
Since I was layed out at home yesterday I was able to edit my Valentine's Day look…it came out pretty well. It's not really a really artsy bright red or pink V-Day look…instead I tried to pick something soft and pretty that someone could really wear on a Valentine's Day date…a look that wouldn't freak a guy out, because you know they sometimes get intimidated when us girls where our bright looks. I might do another more funky/extreme V-day look if I have time. I added my fav song of the moment "with you" by Chris Brown to the video. I hope you guys enjoy!

Today dug out a brick of 05 ODB ( Bo yan brick). I bought this brick for around five dollars about 4 years ago from a kunming vendor. The color of the tea has turned a nice aged brown. I have not drank this tea more than a few times since I bought it as the taste was off. Now the taste is similar to the 00 Kunming tai LAN yin I'm shocked. This is the biggest change/improvement I have seen in a tea in my short time storing tea.but I have noticed big changes in allot of teas I am certain this change is due to my pumidor.
I often see people putting pumidors down. Most of these people live in areas where one is not necessary to age tea or have heard horor stories of mold outbreaks. But I feel that if you live in a dry environment your tea will not age at all and may gain harshness of an overly dry stored tea. The Rh in my house right now is 38% due to heating with a wood stove. That would ruin tea or at the least stall out any chance of it gaining an age taste in my lifetime. Yes you have the risk of mold developing. I have had one incident where sweat developed on the wall and several cakes that where carelessly left touching the wall became quite moldy. Almost exactly what happened to the one who dips half way http://half-dipper.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/sed-quis-custodiet-ipsos-custodes.html This only happened to a few cakes the rest of my collection was in harmed. The effected cakes where treated by removing any bad parts using a wire grill brush to remove surface mould and breaking off and throwing away any parts where the mould was more than just present on the surface. I completely sterilized the inside of my cabinet. The cakes where aired out for a week.wrappers thrown away then rewrapped and stored then in a dry environment for six months. The mouldy cakes now seem to be completely fine. All in all I think if you live in a dry environment, are serious about aging tea, and have the time to monitor it regularly a pumidor can be safe and effective.

Topic: HTTP Posts
I'm new to Ruby, Ruby on Rails and web development in general. I've never done socket programming before. I am trying to create a method to send an http request to a server. At the same time, I will need to be able to accept http posts from other clients. I have found examples of posting code on: http://ruby-doc.org/stdlib/libdoc/net/h HTTP.html; however, I'm not sure how to accept http posts. In addition, what controls how data is written to the client?
Are there any concrete examples of this? Can anyone tell me where to start? Thanks.

A long-debated Department of Transportation plan to slow traffic along a 10-block stretch of Morningside Avenue finally won approval from Community Board 10 at its full board meeting Wednesday night.
Under the plan, first introduced in September 2013, the DOT will reduce lanes and create medians along Morningside Avenue between 116th and 126th streets in an attempt to reduce traffic speeds and improve safety for pedestrians. Residents have long complained about the runway-like section of road, which currently has only two sets of traffic lights and passes by a school and two playgrounds.
While Community Board 9—which shares responsibility for the avenue with CB10—approved the proposal in November, members of CB10 have delayed voting on the plan, citing concerns they had with similar DOT projects on Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard and Mount Morris Park West.
Such concerns were raised at the board's transportation committee meeting last month, where committee member Barbara Nelson called for a new plan that would avoid lane reductions and include stop signs.
Pointing to the severely reduced street parking that was a side effect of the DOT's traffic calming projects on Adam Clayton Powell Boulevard and Mount Morris Park West, Nelson said she was worried the department would not be accountable if the lane reductions proved ineffective.
"The history says that when we give an inch they take a mile," she said at last month's meeting.
Still, other neighborhood groups, including the North Star Neighborhood Association and Transportation Alternatives, have been lobbying CB10 to approve the plan since last fall. At last month's committee meeting, Transportation Alternatives presented a petition of over 1,000 signatures in support of the proposal.
Karen Horry, co-chair of the CB10 transportation committee, said at Wednesday's meeting that while she still did not support the lane reductions, the community's support of the plan had become obvious.
"We felt that there was a significant outcry from the citizens in that area," Horry said.
Meanwhile, Daniel Land Parcerisas, another committee member, expressed firm support for the DOT proposal.
"Maybe that wasn't the right thing to do on Mount Morris Park—I personally think it is the right thing to do on Morningside Avenue," he said. "Narrowing the lane, while it may inconvenience people who want to go fast, it will help the children in school, the neighbors in that area, the people crossing the street to get to church."
"CB10, like all of us, has been going through a growing process in coming to understand that pedestrians are the most vulnerable on our city streets," Jonathon Kahn, a member of the North Star Neighborhood Association, said. "I'm extremely happy with the leadership that CB10 is showing."
To address concerns about keeping the DOT accountable, the final approval includes language that calls on the department to maintain communication with the community during and after implementing the plan.
"North Star is completely aligned with CB10 on that part of the resolution," Kahn said of the provision.
"Throughout this whole process North Star has been communicating with the DOT and lobbying the DOT, and we will continue in that role," he added. "We'll be going to DOT if it doesn't go well."
City Council member Mark Levine and State Sen. Adriano Espaillat, who have both expressed support for the DOT plan in the past, released a joint statement celebrating the full board's approval.
"We are thrilled these lifesaving changes are now on track to move forward. With summer approaching and the school year almost finished, we need these safety measures in place as quickly as possible," the statement said. "DOT conducted an open, transparent process that gave our community ample opportunity to weigh in — and we've been able to achieve a broad community consensus that is the right approach."
Kahn sees the changes on Morningside Avenue as part of Mayor Bill de Blasio's citywide effort to improve pedestrian safety.
"Morningside Avenue is a perfect fit for de Blasio's Vision Zero project, and I'm very glad that CB10 is leading the way in the city's efforts to reduce traffic injuries and fatalities," he said.

Hwy 14 bills to get hearing today
NEW ULM – Bills to ensure the Highway 14 four-lane expansion project is put on the Minnesota Department of Transportation's 20-year highway investment plan will get a hearing today in the state Senate.
The first bill, which had exact copies introduced in the House, requires the MnDOT commissioner to put the expansion of Highway 14 on MnDOT's 20-year plan. MnDOT indicated last year it was unlikely to include Highway 14. Advocates for the project have worried this situation could cripple their efforts, because the project could only gain access to any new federal funding if it's on MnDOT's plan.
The project would require four-lane divided highways from Highway 218 near Owatonna to southeast of the interchange with Highway 56 and from New Ulm to County Highway 6 west of North Mankato, which is the end of recent four-lane expansion announced by MnDOT last year. The project would also mandate interchanges at Highway 14's intersection with Highway 15, County Highway 42 and Highway 169.
The bill mandates the project cannot be delayed and must remain on the 20-year plan until completed, unless the chairs and ranking minority leaders of related legislative committees are notified of unforeseen circumstances.
An accompanying bill provides $431.6 million in funding for the project. The bill calls for $219 million for four-lane expansion of Highway 14 between Owatonna and Dodge Center and $212.6 million for four-lane expansion on Highway 14 between New Ulm and County Highway 6. The funds would be available for five years after its appropriation.
The appropriations bill on the Senate side will get a hearing in the Transportation and Public Safety Division committee this afternoon. The hearing will be broadcast live on the Minnesota Senate website. The bills are planned to be set aside for inclusion in an omnibus bill later in the session. A hearing for the House version of the bill is still pending.

Water Park indeed
To the editor:
In response to Mr. Warta:
Some of my fondest memories as a kid growing up in New Ulm were of days filled swimming at the outdoor pool. There were so many kids wanting to swim, they had to swim in shifts! Now there is talk of people, (tax paying people) who think a water park should be something the Park and Rec department should investigate. It isn't like it has never been discussed among residents before , but now when it gets put in the paper we start to hear from opposition. Well, I for one think it is something they should study and see just what the numbers come up to be. Maybe some kind of alternate financing can be discussed, like the sales tax that helped pay for the civic center. That way the cost would be distributed among a larger number of people.
There are many things I pay for with my taxes that I don't use, or use that often. That is just the price you pay for being a taxpaying member of the community. And what about the number of people a water park would draw to New Ulm? I'm sure people who use the parks in different communities, also spend money at other businesses. Just because some of the citizens of New Ulm want a water park, that doesn't mean we are not appreciative of what we have, and just because it has nothing to do with New Ulm's German heritage does not mean it is a bad idea!!

"We must not confuse the present with the past. With regard to the past, no further action is possible. "
Four must-read documents
As I noted in my February/March column, the salesperson for your fractional provider will do his best to convince you that everyone signs the same simple contract and that the terms are "just boilerplate." In fact, as I explained, those terms require careful consideration because they govern your rights and obligations with respect to what likely will be a multimillion-dollar investment--and they are negotiable. Here's a look at four key documents you'll be asked to sign and what they mean to you:
1. Binder/Deposit Agreement. If your provider is awaiting delivery of your aircraft, it will want you to put up a deposit to hold your share. This document should identify the tail number of the specific aircraft in which you're buying the share, guarantee that the pricing won't change and include a firm delivery date. Most important, it should clearly state how and when your deposit becomes nonrefundable.
2. Purchase Agreement. This is the contract through which you'll purchase your share. Make sure it fully describes what you're buying. It's not just the airframe, but also the engines (which should be specifically identified) and equipment, as well as any warranty rights, maintenance records, certificates and the like. If you're buying a share in a new aircraft, check that the number of hours on the airframe is minimal (just as you'd check a new car's odometer).
Equally important, make sure you carefully read the language in the purchase agreement that determines how the provider will repurchase your share at the end of your contract term. All too often, buyers don't consider the likely decline in value of their aircraft, and thus of their share, when projecting the "all in" cost of their investment. Make certain you understand how the valuation process will work and how your share will be valued.
3. Master Dry Lease Exchange Agreement. This document governs the relationship among all fractional owners in your program. Essentially, you agree to share your airplane with every other owner, thus enabling the provider to use the entire fleet to service all the owners. This arrangement is a common feature of all fractional programs-so much so that you may rarely, if ever, actually fly on the aircraft in which you own a share.
4. Management Agreement. This document governs the core issues of your investment. Nominally, it reflects your appointment of the provider as the manager of your aircraft and as the administrator of your program. More importantly, it details the commitments and responsibilities of the provider to serve you and to maintain and insure your aircraft.
The management agreement tells you when and how many hours you can fly and what costs you'll incur when you do. It describes how your flight time will be calculated; what you'll pay if fuel prices rise; and how far in advance you must reserve your flight. It spells out your right to interchange-in other words, to use other models of aircraft in the fleet-and how you'll be charged if you do. It specifies "peak travel days" when greater restrictions apply on your use of the aircraft; and it maps out the service areas within which you can fly.
If you suffer service problems, the management agreement is the place you'll look to find out whether these problems constitute a default by your provider and what remedies you have. If your salesperson has described to you how the program operates and has promised you any special concessions, these commitments should be in black and white in your management agreement.
I can't say it often enough: It's your contract documents, not the slick brochures or sales pitches, that govern your rights and obligations as a fractional owner. Read and negotiate them carefully or you may make a very costly mistake.

CopperDog organizers react to race safety concerns
CALUMET – Safety has been the highest priority for the fourth annual CopperDog 150, and organizers are confident in their preparations for the March 1-3 sled dog race. However, a tragic accident last weekend at the U.P. 200 in Marquette is bringing more intense scrutiny to the subject.
One dog was killed and two others injured when the team of musher Frank Moe, of Bemidji, Minn. was struck by a pickup truck at about 5:30 Sunday morning at an M-28 road crossing in Wetmore. Michigan State Police investigated and determined nobody was at fault.
CopperDog organizers wasted no time responding to the incident, posting a note of condolence later that day to their website, copperdog150.com, entitled "Thinking of Frank." On Monday, CopperDog 150 Executive/Race Director Todd Brassard posted a much longer post called "How we approach safety."
"Although it is impossible to remove all the risk from events like sled dog races, with clear focus and persistence it is possible to minimize risk through excellent planning, effective communication, innovative tools and hands-on volunteer training," Brassard said in the post.
Each of those facets is examined in detail below for the CopperDog 150.
CopperDog organizers almost had to learn the hard way the importance of safety after the year's inaugural event. In 2010, rain threatened the race and only after tense deliberations was a shortened final leg agreed to. Some mushers left with the intention of not returning.
From then on, Brassard introduced, popularized and embodied the concept "happy healthy dogs, happy healthy mushers" as the event's motto.
"It's important to understand that safety is not a side consideration at CopperDog 150," Brassard said in a Daily Mining Gazette interview. "Safety considerations are fundamental to our planning process and every element of our event has its safety considerations."
It all starts well before race weekend when the CD trails committee scouts trails and chooses a manageable route. All trail crossings and potential navigation hazards are identified and assigned a difficulty rating of one to five, one meaning low risk.
Race/assistant/volunteer directors establish a crossing schedule, identify the number of volunteers needed at each location and determine which crossings require fire/police vehicles, flashing lights or other needs.
"We're trying to be proactive in making sure we can provide the best, safest race we can," said Ann Gasperich, who is filling a newly created safety coordinator position for the CopperDog.
Brassard previously performed the duties in addition to a wealth of other race management responsibilities. The safety coordinator position was created in January.
"It's too important of a job to have someone who's overseeing the whole race being in charge of safety, too," she said.
Gasperich was the Houghton County emergency management coordinator from 1989-99 and 911 director from 1999-2005, and she currently works with zoning, building codes and equalization in Keweenaw County.
"We're not going to change what we do, because we are always looking to improve our safety procedures," she said, "but what happens because of a devastating accident like they had (in the U.P. 200) is it increases the awareness."
Organizers, mushers and volunteers all need to be aware of the potential dangers, but so do spectators and drivers who may be crossing paths with the CopperDog route.
Three of the 24 crossings on March 1 (the only night leg of the race) have garnered a five (high-risk) rating:
In Lake Linden there's a crossing zone from Kevin's Self Storage to Gregory and 9th streets. The snowmobile trail runs parallel to the road for a stretch, in a relatively high-traffic area in which vehicles are coming off a blind curve from Bootjack.
Just north of Calumet near the Trailside Lodge, the trail crosses U.S. 41 in a high-traffic area in which vehicles travel at a fairly high rate of speed.
In Phoenix, U.S. 41 intersects with M-26 and the trail to the east of the intersection runs parallel with the road for a while. In all the above instances, and at all the other crossings, communication is vital.
In Phoenix, for example, three Ahmeek Village Fire Department units will be assisting; one south of the crossing on U.S. 41, one north on U.S. 41, one west on M-26 and one east on the snowmobile trail.
"If somebody is coming from any direction, we'll know it," said Dick Powers, one of two net controllers, or radio coordinators, for the race.
He will be based in Copper Harbor, while Bill LaBelle will work from Calumet. They are authorized by Keweenaw County Sheriff Ron Lahti to operate on the 800 Mhz state of Michigan system, with designated call signs. They also network with what CopperDog Volunteer Coordinator Brian Donnelly called a "small army of HAM radio operators sprinkled through the race" using the local 315 repeater.
Currently 32 radio positions, 23 of which report times, are set up for immediate communications between crossings or with headquarters. With mushers being tracked during the race, not only can race fans follow the race, but crossing personnel can be more prepared.
The following fire departments are involved at various crossings: Allouez Township, Ahmeek Village, Copper Harbor, Eagle Harbor, Lac La Belle and Sherman Township – all Keweenaw County units – and Calumet Fire and Rescue and Lake Linden Village from Houghton County.
At each crossing, any number of communication exchanges will take place. A volunteer will be strategically placed on the trail, and at night, he or she will use scuba diving signals with a flashlight – a slow circle means go through; a quick back-and-forth motion means stop.
During the day, a large card is displayed, on one side red for stop, and the other green for go.
"We have an early warning system built in place," Lahti said. "On a scale of one to ten in terms of preparedness, it's as close to a ten as it can be. A lot of details go into preparing these crossings. Generally as a rule, we'll stop the dogs, depending on the circumstances."
Police and some firefighters are authorized to stop traffic, and if a string of dog teams is approaching a crossing, vehicles may be stopped. Otherwise, vehicles have the right of way, and CopperDog volunteers are not permitted to stop traffic.
"Each intersection is unique," Gasperich said. "The biggest problem we have is cars will want to stop and see what's going on. That causes more confusion."
It is a race, after all, but personnel at crossings are instructed to give very direct guidance to vehicles and mushers alike.
The CopperDog has an array of tools, on the ground and in cyberspace, to manage and follow the race.
Each crossing volunteer coordinator is supplied with a box of safety vests, volunteer waivers, signaling devices, clipboards, markers and timing logs.
During the race, all the data from each crossing will be conveyed to the CopperDog Calumet headquarters via radio and entered into a database.
"Customized software will use this information to track and even predict the position of mushers during the race," Brassard said. "This information is used for safety and keeping track of teams, but is also pushed to Facebook, Twitter and our website so people can follow the race while it's in progress."
The event also relies on a high level of volunteer coordination, a process handled entirely online through a volunteer management system, designed by Brassard-owned Brassard Media. Volunteer shifts are open to the public.
Volunteer training
While some training sessions have already been conducted, volunteers may still sign up at copperdog150.com, and the final "Official CopperDog 150 Volunteer Training Session" will take place from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday behind the Public Schools of Calumet, Laurium & Keweenaw.
It will involve 45 minutes of indoor training, demonstration and discussion, followed by 45 minutes of outdoor hands-on training – all with safety as the primary focus.
"Safety is in the DNA of the CopperDog," Donnelly said. "Our volunteers are pretty dedicated, and they're pretty confident in the safety of our race. Our No. 1 goal is to make sure all crossings are staffed appropriately first."
It takes a complex network of people to ensure a safe race for everybody, namely the mushers and dogs (for a detailed look at safety from a veterinary care standpoint, see the Feb. 2 Daily Mining Gazette article entitled "Happy healthy dogs, happy healthy mushers," which is part of a weekly CopperDog series appearing Saturdays).
Perfection is never guaranteed – with so many law enforcement and emergency personnel available, a quick response is assured even in the worst-case scenario – but safeguards are in place at the CopperDog 150.
"It's not that accidents couldn't happen, but we take every possible measure possible to ensure they don't," Lahti said. "Especially at highway crossings, where we see higher-speed traffic, we make sure we have law enforcement and fire departments at critical crossings. All the volunteers who work with the CopperDog take safety very seriously."

Leveraging technology to achieve public health goals
Technology greatly impacts our lives and thus has fostered a burgeoning interest in how it can be used effectively to enhance public health. Because cigarette smoking is the leading preventable cause of disease and death in the United States,1 addressing this concern through technology-based approaches may have significant public health implications. The primary objective of this Cochrane review was to determine the effectiveness of Internet-based interventions for smoking cessation.
The bottom line
The authors included randomised and quasi-randomised trials of smokers using any type of Internet-based intervention in comparison to no-intervention controls or other Internet programs. Limited meta-analysis was performed due to the heterogeneity …

Victim of Circumstances
Remember the days of strolling into a client's building and meeting him just outside his office for lunch? Try that now and you're likely to be tackled by a security team maintained by building management. And therein lies one reason the 334 respondents to our InformationWeek 2012 Physical/Logical Security Survey haven't integrated these groups--today, physical security is normally outsourced. Companies don't build buildings for themselves much anymore, especially in metropolitan areas. And when you lease space, building management firms usually handle everything from key card provisioning to fire alarms and cameras. Even most Vegas casinos outsource physical security monitoring.
Not coincidentally then, most of the protections our respondents have put in place match the services these firms provide: 80% have fire and burglar alarms, 74% have cameras, and 69% have electronic door locks.
Where respondents fall short is in use of newer technologies. Biometric controls, for example, are used by just 10%, and PC-based proximity detectors by a mere 5%. Geolocation policies, which reduce the available access points to a network based on physical location, are in use by just 12%. RFID isn't doing much better. And integration of SEIM and access-control systems? Shy of 20%, even though new logging products, such as those from ArcSight, LogLogic and Splunk, can give IT great insight. For example, when an employee uses his key card to badge in to a door, the door sensor sends a log event to the log management system, which can then correlate the event with a login via Active Directory to the worker's PC. Furthermore, some systems allow scenario-based control, where a user who badges in to a second location without badging out from the first location will have her badge disabled automatically. Sadly, not many are using this integration.
No matter how good your building's security team, your organization's data is your responsibility. Given new attack vectors and mobility work patterns, now is a great time to review your physical controls. (R3621111)
Survey Name InformationWeek 2012 Physical/Logical Security Survey

Really surprised Dems are trying so hard to trash this House GOP plan as much publicly as they are. Again, not that diff from Sen compromise
8:40 AM - 15 Oct 2013
Skip to comments.Whispers: Might the House GOP Adjourn and Leave Town After Passing 'Final Offer'?
Posted on 10/15/2013 11:31:30 AM PDT by cotton1706
Lurking at the very bottom of Conn's summary of the House's (final?) counter-offer to the Senate is this intriguing nugget:
If the bill passes, House Republicans may adjourn leaving Senate Democrats and President Obama with a final take-it-or-leave-it offer. First, "if the bill passes" is an open question, though it's sounding like House Republicans have mostly rallied around the Speaker's plan. They opened their meeting this morning by singing "Amazing Grace," then telegraphed their next volley. Whether they have the votes to pass it without any Democratic support -- Pelosi will likely whip hard against it -- remains to be seen. But if it passes, might Boehner gavel the House closed, with members leaving town? Ramesh Ponnuru hears rumors:
This would be a highly risky take-it-or-leave-it strategy. The GOP would argue that they gave Senate Democrats everything they asked for in their latest deal, but added a delay of a job killing tax that 79 Senators have already voted to repeal altogether, as well as a somewhat stripped-down Vitter Amendment. This would force members of Congress, but not staffers, to forego the president's special subsidy carve-out. The bottom-line message: "We've agreed to Harry Reid's plan, plus a few small additions that the American people support. We've bent over backwards to accommodate the other side. We've done our jobs. And we're outta here." That...might work. But it also might add to the (largely unfair) perception that Republicans are the obstinate, unflinching actors in this crisis. Harry Reid is likely to say "stuff it" to the House-passed bill -- if it passes. That's been his consistent position on almost everything, no matter how reasonable. If we hit the technical default wall with Republicans effectively AWOL, I'm not so sure those optics would work well during the ensuing, intense blame-game. Especially since the drumbeat GOP critique of Democrats over the last few weeks has been that Obama & Co are unwilling to negotiate. At the moment, nothing is certain. Votes and coalitions are fluid. And the clock is ticking. Stay tuned.
UPDATE - A concession from Democrats? A tax delay that would have benefited Big Labor might be gone on the Senate side:
UPDATE II -The GOP may be (surprise!) divided on the "leave town" gambit:
UPDATE III - White House rejects the deal. Does Boehner even have the votes?
GOP leadership may be re-writing their counter-deal already, under pressure from conservatives. Shades of the "Plan B" fiscal cliff fiasco, which eventually resulted in a worse outcome for conservatives.
UPDATE IV - Reid angrily rejects the House GOP plan (such as it exists), even though it's not that different from his own. Chuck Todd:
Great idea!
After passing this surrender bill, they leave the lion's den of Washington... straight into the arms of the base, who are mad as hell.
Can a branch, Senate or House, adjourn without consent of the other branch? I know they can go
into recess but adjournment I'm not sure.
Maybe someone can explain......
Any article with the word 'default' used in any sense other than 'Debt ceiling does not equal default' is not worth reading.
What have they been waiting for? They should have done this two weeks ago. There is no bargaining with radical Marxists bent on bringing this country down.
If the GOP fails to kill Obamacare, they might as well go home.... and stay there.
What they should have done from the beginning is to publicly posture as seeking negotiations, and then offering little to nothing to the Communist-in-Chief in private.
"We've tried and tried to negotiate with the Democrats." Meanwhile, Obama and Reid's public position has been not to negotiate.
"Can a branch, Senate or House, adjourn without consent of the other branch? I know they can go
into recess but adjournment Im not sure.
Maybe someone can explain......"
Not for more than three days. They would not adjourn because the president has the power to call them back, and he would love that!
The House and Senate control their own timetables.
Absent With Out Leave
When the Speaker gavels the legislative session closed, House Members are On Leave.
Do it!
Do it!
Do it!
Do it!
Pelosi rejects the plan before she read it ??? Isn't that what started this whole mess in the first place ???
Actually, they don't have to do anything. Just adjourn. The Senate has tabled all of the appropriations bills. That puts everything in the Senate's lap - either have the "catastrophe" of the fictional default, or fund the government without Obamacare. It's that simple.
What they should have done from the beginning is to publicly posture as seeking negotiations, and then offering little to nothing to the Communist-in-Chief in private.
I like your plan but the GOP should have also continued to pound on the Congressional subsidy and pushed for an individual mandate delay. They should have run some TV ads against vulnerable Dems. Reid went ballistic over the subsidy issue because he knew it was a winner for the GOP.
The GOP scoring points on offense would have reduced Dem appetite for this crisis. Under pressure they may have cut a deal more favorable to the GOP. Now a timid GOP leadership has fumbled away any chance of that.
Thanks... I went to look it up...
Article 1,
Section Five:
Neither House, during the session of Congress, shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for
more than three days, nor to any other place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting.
But 3 days puts us pass the Armageddon deadline, so that could be a useful tactic.
Yup. If they did this, the Senate would simply reject the House plan, send its plan to the House, and Obama would convene the House. Skipping town accomplishes nothing when Obama can just call them back.
Name it to the church house door and run!
It it my opinion that the RINOs and tea party folks know something awful about this administration-something they cannot say to the public -yet. Not sure what it is, but they are trying harder then usual to stay the course. It remains to be seen if someone leaks whatever it is...hard to believe it is just about the obivious. Are the teaparty folks that powerful that they can sway a majority of the party or is this smoke and mirrors...this is very odd.
This whole thing is stupid. There is basically no real difference that matters in either of these proposals. They are arguing over drape colors in a burning house.
At this point, just pass something, kick the can and take it to the American People and win more seats.
The House bill is basically the same bill, they aren't arguing over anything that is going to make a difference compared to trillions of dollars of debt.
It would be one thing if there were huge gulfs in the bills, but there isn't.
This last squabble, is, literally, pointless.
Article 2
Section 3.
He shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the union,
and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and
expedient; he may, on extraordinary occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them,
and in case of disagreement between them, with respect to the time of adjournment,
he may adjourn them to such time as he shall think proper; he shall receive ambassadors
and other public ministers; he shall take care that the laws be faithfully executed,
and shall commission all the officers of the United States.
You're right. You'd think they could find a strategist somewhere with a clue.
Luke 9:3-5
New King James Version (NKJV)
3 And He said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither staffs nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have two tunics apiece.
4 Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5 And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.
The sooner they get home and listen to us, the better.
2) Democrats show up and unanimously "deem" that a quorum is present.
3) They pass Obama's agenda.
4) Reid exercises nuclear option and quickly passes the bill in the Senate.
5) Obama signs it, and tells Boehner "It's done. Whatcha gonna do about it, beoch?"
Hary Reid may find his "No Negotiations" rallying cry coming back to haunt him.
He shall from time to time give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient; he may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them, and in Case of Disagreement between them, with Respect to the Time of Adjournment, he may adjourn them to such Time as he shall think proper; he shall receive Ambassadors and other public Ministers; he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed, and shall Commission all the Officers of the United States.Don't bet Obama would not re-convene the House and send armed officers to hunt down the Repubs and fetch them.
The TEA Party pressure on the process simply comes from the will of the People. You and me plus many others.
Well they have been sending bills bover ecause they were scared Reid would say they are doing nothing and spending bills originate in House etc.
The root proble is not whether they sat and waited or submitted bills and waited but rather their lack of an effective communications plan. The pubs are always on defense and never know how to express outrage and attack the other side.
I like it!
I know I have been applying pressure to mine and others...thankful they are at least fighting. Still think there is more going on..like perhaps many know the pres is unbalanced at the least and evil at the most.
I remember the Democrats in Wisconsin leaving town when the union legislation was in play to avoid a vote, and they hid from the Sergeant at arms to avoid being dragged back.
Why can't Republicans do what the Democrats dis in Wisconsin?
By the way, Wisconsin has a budget surplus "Larger than expected.!"
Tell them:
"Take our deal or live on our income only....which we should be doing in the first place."
True. Time for them to step aside and let the Tea Party take over.
If true, this is actually some good news. Time to let dingy hairy and His Petulance speak to the hand for once.
"It's not a great idea. It's a PR disaster."
Whatever the gop conservatives do, it will be used against them in the media (a wholly owned subsidiary of Hope N Change, Inc.). If you're damned for doing the right thing and damned for doing the wrong thing, you might as well do the right thing.
See 14 above. The Senate hasn't, inspite of all the blow coming from Reid, actually rejected anything. Each of the House-passed budget measures has been tabled in the Senate which means Reid could eventually pick out the one he likes -—on a weekend-—and slip it to the floor for a vote. The Senate can't make up its own budget measures and send them to the House because that's a rule.
Chuck Todd ✔ @chucktoddYea, but it's coming from the GOP so they cannot like. Harry Reid is a smarmy snake worm, so is his girl Pelosi et al
Really surprised Dems are trying so hard to trash this House GOP plan as much publicly as they are. Again, not that diff from Sen compromise
8:40 AM - 15 Oct 2013
LOL Todd wants the dems to trash it behind everyone's back.
Sorry Chuck, the dems are bold these days and think they can get away with anything.
delay the medical device tax?
That's it?
That's all the GOPe settled for??
do it?
Surrender and go home?
They might as well go home. How hard can it be to to sumbit a "Continuing Resolution." First Graders could do this for a whole lot less and without a staff.
We are paying them to do nothing. As far as staffers - who writes the rules for these bozos? Staffers should not be entitle to subsidies. These morons have their staffers write their speeches, make their appointments and tell them what they need to say. They are the as responsible as the elected officials.
The spending bills are already in the Senate. Each time they refuse to negotiate, make the next bill even more conservative. Start taking stuff out of the budget instead of negotiating.
To default on the debt is going to be ugly and will ruin us - but so will Obamacare. The difference is the speed.
Obama does not convene the House.
The Constitution says they cannot adjourn for more than 3 days without the consent of the OTHER HOUSE; Senate.
The President does not control Congress. They are separate branches.
They can give themselves a 3 day break, that's it
Yes, they should. There is no need for them to pass a spending bill just because it will pass the prez's desk.
"[The President] may, on extraordinary Occasions, convene both Houses, or either of them"
It's not extraordinary. Besides they can only adjourn for 3 days without the Senate doing it too.
Update #11 Obama peed in his pants

But, when they screw up, the world hears about it – and rarely forgets. From Vanessa Williams' naughty pics, to Hugh Grant's outing with a Hollywood hooker, to Kim Kardashian's infamous sex tape, there are a number of celebrity sex scandals that come to mind. Some celebs emerged unscathed, while others like Tiger Woods felt more lasting effects. In this video, WatchMojo.com counts down ten of the most infamous celebrity sex scandals in recent memory.

The General Special Education track of the Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Special Education is ideal for someone who wishes to become an expert in the overall field of special education, especially as it relates to serving children with disabilities in school settings. The Gonzaga Special Education faculty view the education of individual learners as a science, as well as an art. The program concentrates on the skills needed for professional placement in integrated settings, resource rooms, and self-contained classrooms. In addition, candidates are taught to communicate effectively, provide informed ethical advice to families, and act as an advocate for the full inclusion of all individuals within the culture. To further enhance the candidate's skills as a leader, the candidate is taught and mentored by faculty to become a scholar and researcher who can critically evaluate teaching strategies and curricula and then communicate those findings to families and the professional community.
The General Special Education track of the Master of Education (M.Ed.) is composed of 32 semester credits of coursework. All the graduate courses in this track are taught by the five full-time faculty using data-based effective college teaching techniques. Particular focus is placed on those fields with extensive research bases of effectiveness with children, such as Applied Behavior Analysis, Direct Instruction, and Precision Teaching. The faculty, courses, and programs consistently receive the highest median ratings on evaluations conducted each semester or year. Similarly, candidates and school professionals view candidate skills and competencies highly.
Of the 32 credits in the M.Ed. in Special Education, 24 may also apply toward a State of Washington endorsement in Special Education (P-12). The candidate seeking the Special Education endorsement would need to complete 1) six additional semester credits in special education, including one of our four courses in early childhood special education, one special education practicum at the elementary level, and one special education practicum at the secondary level, and 2) student teaching in special education. The student teaching practicum is 6 semester credits (EDSE 696) if the candidate is already certified and 9 semester credits (EDSE 697) if not certified (details are outlined below).
If the candidate does not already hold a State of Washington teaching certificate, then the student would need to pass the West B basic skills test and the Praxis, Special Education test. You will also need to complete an additional 13 credits of specific regular education course work outlined above, in addition to the special education coursework to obtain a Washington State teaching certificate and an endorsement to teach special education (P-12). Gonzaga University teacher certification programs are State, Regional, and National (NCATE) accredited. NCATE accreditation means the graduating candidate's certificate is recognized in almost all states. Over 90% of our graduates who completed Washington State Certification with an endorsement to teach special education are in teaching positions the following year.
Click here to get the complete program outline.
If the candidate is not Washington State certified to teach, then the candidate must pass the West B competency exam, have a 20-semester credit concentration outside of education, have an undergraduate degree, and earn a C or higher in the following non-Special Education courses: Course Title Course Number Credits Foundations of Am. Education EDTE 101/500 3 Learning Theories EDTE 201/510 3 Instruction, Assessment, Technology EDTE 221/615 4 Field Experience EDTE 221L/505 1 Abuse Prevention EDPE 417/600 1
Candidates completing certification course work after August 31, 2005 will also have to pass the State competency tests (West E) to become certified.

The reciprocal relationship between physical activity and depression in older European adults

Department of Psychiatry, Wolfson Institute of Preventive Medicine, Queen Mary University, Charterhouse Square, Old Anatomy building, London, EC1M 6BQ, UK; k.s.bhui{at}qmul.ac.uk
Implications for practice and research
■ The study highlights the mental health benefits of regular physical activity in the prevention of future depressive illness among older adults.
■ Physical activity appears to be effective for promoting mental health and preventing depression, although further study is needed of different types of depression, for example, recurrent or chronic depression.
■ Future studies, specifically randomised trials, should also determine the relationship between dose, and type, of physical activity and depression, and unexpected events in a prospective design if physical activity is to be routinely recommended.
Depression is approximately twice as prevalent among women compared with men and is associated with functional disability, co-morbid medical conditions and social deprivation.1 Longer life expectancy is leading to a …

been a frustrating winter, between the snow and just being cooped inside, and the lack of good movies out, it's made it almost unbearable. Thank god for the Cavs.
But, I am curious, why is there nothingout right now? One would think this would be a good time to realease good movies as the midwest and northeast are stuck with nothing to do because of the weather. But no, we're stuck having Avatar as really anything worth "seeing" at the moment, and I've already seen said film 2 months ago, and thought it was a bit overrated. I don't want to see a horror movie 'nor even a thriller directed by the great Scorsasae. So please god, deliver us from this crap.

Oklahoma Relief Efforts Feature Small Businesses and Local Heroes
NEW YORK (MainStreet)--"I just got through walking an area that can only be described as a living nightmare," said Robert Norris, 31, an Oklahoma City resident who surveyed the tornado-borne damage in nearby Moore, Okla.
Norris, who is the owner-operator at Certa Pro Painters in Edmond, Okla., initiated a program he calls "2 Men, 1 Truck" to deliver relief supplies to those in need from the aftermath of the F-4 twister. He had friends have their Chevy Silverados and Ford F-150s at the ready to convey food, tools and first aid kits.

"This place was filled with death, the entire city smelled of natural gas from all the leaks," Norris continued. "I saw a police officer sit in his car after pulling off some wreckage at the school, and he changed as a person before me. He couldn't even tell me where to find the missing persons area, because he was holding back tears."
At a time of need such as this, it takes village to recover, and Norris partnered with small businesses like Grandad's Bar in Oklahoma City who have done their part to help with the relief efforts.
"We're Oklahomans--that's the simple answer," said owner Greg Seal, 43, as an explanation for his enthusiasm in lending a hand. Yesterday as he watched news reports chronicling the devastation and advising people not to go down to Moore, he figured at least his neighborhood bar's location would put it in prime position to help with the relief efforts.
"We're right off of I 235--it would be a great spot to collect things," Seal said. He put out a message on his social media channels and got an overwhelming response combined with Norris's efforts--enough to fill up three pick-ups and a one-ton dirt-hauler by morning. Since then, they have continued to collect enough for another trip into Moore. The damage there requires every little bit of help possible.
"Tornadoes this spring have been some of the costliest--and deadliest--in U.S. history," said Loretta Worters, a spokesperson for the Insurance Information Institute. Though there is no clear estimate for how much damage this particular event inflicted, the tornadoes in Oklahoma this month call to mind the devastating tornadoes that nailed Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Georgia and 13 other states in 1999. Those tornadoes resulted in $1.5 billion in insured losses ($2.0 billion in 2012 dollars) in all the affected states, according to the Insurance Services Office, with the damage to Oklahoma alone at nearly $1.0 billion ($1.4 billion in 2012 dollars).

Intel Corp. said that while there are netbooks with relatively large 12" screen and some companies have plans to produce Intel Atom-based mobile systems with even bigger displays, such computers should not have large screens since this leads customers to believe that performance and capabilities of netbooks are akin to notebooks.
Later this year netbooks will cease to have screens larger than 10.2", a guideline defined by Microsoft Corp., but while this may potentially reduce popularity of netbooks, Intel Corp. has perfect explanation why netbooks do not need larger screens.
"They are not so much constraints. We are trying to frame the category that we're trying to encourage. If you use a netbook with a bigger screen, people expect a standard notebook. The responsive of the system might be disappointing. You saw some people trying to experiment with Atom and a bigger screen and stuff like this. Try to open the system, open more windows. Try to open some more demanding applications, and I believe you will see the responsiveness is not what we were planning for," said Mooly Eden, vice president and general manager of Intel's mobility group, reports IDG News Services.
Netbooks are not designed for high-performance or rich functionality and should be tailored for very basic computing needs, such as email usage, Web browsing and so on. As a result, Intel and Microsoft believe that such systems should not be equipped with screens larger than 10.2". In fact, Intel also claims that with smaller screens netbooks will be able to have longer battery life.
"It's not magic. If you want to get more performance, you will pay with more transistors, you will pay with more leakage, you will pay with more power. You will end up with [the netbook] being slightly thicker with lower battery life," added Mr. Eden.
Instead of boosting performance or features, netbooks should get thinner and smaller, Intel claims.
"We're trying to take this category to the next level and I will not be surprised if you see even the netbook space will be shaped differently because, again, we can give better battery life, we can give you better performance. We can give you smaller form factors," explained Mooly Eden.

Sustained Energy
- Provides reliable, long-lasting energy
- Reduces muscle fatigue
- Shortens recovery time
"SE has been my staple on training rides and races over two hours for years. It has never let me down. Easy to assimilate. Quality nutrients." -Steve M
Product Detail & Benefits
Unless you complement your carbohydrate source with protein, your body will start to digest its own muscle tissue (for protein) for energy after about 90 minutes of hard exercise. When your training takes you beyond the range of Hammer Gel alone, you can rely on Sustained Energy with its 7:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio. Sustained Energy contains a superior blend of complex carbohydrates, a precise amount of GMO-free protein, and a few carefully selected micronutrients that all work synergistically to provide consistent, long-lasting energy. With Sustained Energy, you'll have 100% confidence in your fuel, even during your longest and hardest training sessions and races. Without any added flavoring or sweeteners, it has a pleasant neutral flavor.
Since 1992 Sustained Energy has stood the test of time in every conceivable endurance and ultra-endurance event. No matter how difficult or lengthy your exercise or race is, Sustained Energy will come through every time, and keep you going mile after mile, hour after hour.
Hammer Nutrition's original long distance fuel, Sustained Energy has attained a legendary status in the world of endurance sports since its introduction in 1992. Tested and proven in virtually every endurance event on the planet, Sustained Energy, with its unique 7:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio and it's neutral flavor is still the first choice of thousands of athletes. After about two hours of exercise, you need to have some protein in your fuel or you will start to cannibalize or break down precious muscle tissue. So when your exercise goes beyond the range of Hammer Gel or HEED alone, Sustained Energy is ready to serve you, providing premium fuel complemented with specific nutrients that support enhanced fat utilization and lactic acid buffering.
Give Sustained Energy a try—you'll have 100% confidence in your fuel—and you'll understand why it's been the choice of thousands of endurance athletes for well over a decade. For maximum fueling variety and flexibility during your longest and hardest training sessions and races, mix or alternate Sustained Energy with Hammer Gel, HEED, and/or Perpetuem.
Extra Benefits:
This unflavored product is ideally suited for athletes who want calories with as little taste and sweetness as possible. In addition, soy protein ensures that minimal ammonia will be released into the muscles, further reducing fatigue and tissue damage.
A: Hammer Nutrition Fuels-what they are and how to use them
You can make a concentrated solution of Sustained Energy and "nurse" it for several hours, alternating with sips of plain water from another bottle. You can also flavor Sustained Energy with your favorite flavor of Hammer Gel.

The kids won the challenge by creating an airplane design and test flying a virtual airplane. Lest you think these kids simply plugged some numbers into a program, they went through a monthlong curriculum to get to the design portion. And the software recorded parameters such as time, distance, fuel efficiency, and more. And their designs were judged and analyzed by a team of aviation engineers.
I thought you'd like to see what these students came up with. Here's Saline's design. Can you guess which Experimental airplane served as the inspiration? Extra points if you can name the exact model of that Experimental:
and a view from the cockpit:
And here is Canby's design:
It'll be fun to see how these kids bridge the gap from the virtual world to the physical process of assembling an airplane. I'll be there for the first part of the two-week build to bring you the action, and I might even get a chance to do some riveting myself. Look for more blogs on Reporting Points, plus an article in a future issue of AOPA Pilot.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Ooh that was lovely!In full: A course PW but partly because I enjoyed it so much. What a great day! The weather was perfect, the views glorious, the marshalls superb and very friendly. Great for slower runners and probably as good for the faster ones.Date of review: March 14, 2010
In short: Lovely views, friendly marshals, great valueand good organisation.In full: First time I've done this race. I'd been warned about the hills so knew it would be a challenge. Very well marshalled - all very attentive and encouraging. Good organissation and goody bag. I like the medal - one of the best I've had.Date of review: July 6, 2009
In short: Wonderful scenery! I had to keep walking so I could admire it.In full: Fantastic race! Wonderful scenery (made me realise why I run), very friendly and encouraging marshalls, excellent food, good quality T-shirt. The Hogweeds even managed to arrange glorious sunshine. Brilliant! See you next year.Date of review: March 22, 2009
In short: Smashing!In full: A great race - tough but the excellent organisation and support makes up for it! Free massage before and after, lovely food as well. Still people left to cheer on the last finishers.Date of review: April 6, 2008
In short: Challenging, scenic course. Friendly and encouraging marshals, great food. Next time I'll do some hill training.Date of review: March 11, 2007
In short: Fantastic views, friendly marshals, excellent organisation.In full: It's a tough course but the marshals were so friendly and encouraging that they kept me going. The views are stunning: the route passes through lanes, wooded valleys, moorland, villages and goes up and down virtually all the way (well, that's what it felt like anyway). Water stations every three miles, with runners' own drinks if provided, staffed by cheerful Guides. Medal placed round my neck by very small child. Banana, pasty and cup of tea. About as good as it gets.Date of review: November 20, 2006
