Red Hand Day – day of action against the use of child soldiers
Every year on 12 February people all over the world protest against the use of child soldiers. Red Hand Day, as it is known, recalls the entry into force on 12 February 2002 of the Optional Protocol to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child on the involvement of children in armed conflict.
Red hands against the use of child soldiers
Two years later the first Red Hand Day was staged – the red hand as a symbolic "no" to the recruitment and use of child soldiers. The use of child soldiers continues, however, in many countries around the world where armed conflicts are taking place.
Speaking on Red Hand Day 2013, Federal Government Human Rights Commissioner Markus Löning made the following comments:
"In situations of armed conflict it's the children who suffer most: from death, hunger, injuries or recruitment as child soldiers, from attacks on their homes and schools or the loss of their loved ones. We're pushing for children's rights to be protected and we're also campaigning against the recruitment of child soldiers. Another thing we're doing is helping child soldiers return to a normal life, a life that allows them to be children again. This means enabling them to go to school, for example, and learn an occupation. I'm very pleased to see here a number of encouraging developments such as the demobilization of child soldiers now under way in Myanmar. Red Hand Day is not just a day when countries and governments express solidarity and campaign against the use of child soldiers. It's also a day when children show solidarity towards other children. I'd like to thank everyone taking part in this day of action very much indeed for setting such a splendid example of human rights advocacy."
What Germany is doing to safeguard children's rights and stop the use of child soldiers
Germany ratified the Optional Protocol to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 2004 and has been working hard to ensure its implementation.
The idea of Red Hand Day originated in Germany and has now spread all over the world. For more on Red Hand Day activities go towww.redhandday.org

Voice of the Faithful, the New England-based church reform group founded in the wake of the clergy sex abuse crisis, is now in a financial crisis of its own, according to iobserve.org, the Web site of The Catholic Observer in Springfield, Mass. The story notes, among other things, that the organization has not yet posted an audited financial statement for the last fiscal year, though it led an unsuccessful effort to require churches to file audited financial statements, and that the organization's new mission statement avoids issues like priestly celibacy or women's ordination.

Deutch made a Constitutional Amendment to fix Citizens United a centerpiece of his campaign
Democrat Ted Deutch decisively won a special election yesterday to fill the open seat in Florida's 19th congressional district. Deutch made his supprt for a constitutional amendment to reverse the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United v. FEC a centerpiece of his campaign.
Michael B. Keegan, President of People For the American Way, issued the following statement:
"I congratulate Senator Deutch on his decisive win, and wish him well as he continues his work on behalf of the people of Florida. Senator Deutch's vocal support of efforts to fight back against corporate influence in elections, and his advocacy for a Constitutional Amendment to undo the Supreme Court's devastating decision in Citizens United, earned him overwhelming support from Florida voters. He'll be a strong leader in the fight to preserve the power of everyday Americans in our democracy.
"Deutch's opponent attempted to paint the election as a referendum against the President and Democratic congressional leadership. Instead, he was roundly defeated by an electorate fed up with the growing corporate influence in elections and determined to take back the democratic process. This election sends a strong signal that the public won't stand for the Supreme Court handing outsized influence to wealthy corporations, and that voters are ready to take powerful steps to reclaim their power over the electoral process."

Man indicted by grand jury on murder charges
A grand jury indicted Jim Bentley, 71, of Farmington on second-degree murder Friday in connection with the Christmas eve slaying of an Oklahoma man outside a Clovis motel, according to a release from the 9th Judicial District Attorney's Office.
Bentley is accused of shooting Joseph Phillips Jr., 48, a photograph package salesman from Guthrie, Okla., outside the Econo Lodge on Mabry Drive. He was also charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the release said.
Randy Knudson, Bentley's lawyer, pled not guilty on behalf of his client at the Dec. 29 arraignment, and said Bentley was possibly threatened before he shot Phillips and may be suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
Prosecutor Andrea Reeb said the grand jury charged Bentley with Phillips' second degree murder because they didn't find the crime was premeditated and wasn't committed during the course of a felony.
Bentley has been in custody at the Curry County Adult Detention Center since Dec. 25 on $100,000 cash only bond.
Bentley faces 18 years in prison if convicted and will be arraigned on the charges within 30 days, the release said.
Man treated for multiple stab wounds, no arrests
A 24-year-old Clovis man was treated early Friday morning at Plains Regional Medical Center for multiple stab wounds and released, according to Clovis Police Lt. James Schoeffel.
Police found Carlos Corral, 24, around midnight Thursday at his apartment on 512 Reid St. with cuts to his face, right thigh, left hand and right forearm, Schoeffel said.
No arrests have been made in connection with the stabbing. However, two male suspects near the scene were arrested on unrelated charges, including possessing methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia and evading police officers, Schoeffel said.
A rental car leased by Corral was reported stolen shortly before the stabbing and handgun was located by police near the vehicle parked outside Corral's apartment, Schoeffel said.

In honor of Earth Day, I would like to discuss one of my least favorite things in the world: plastic dry cleaning bags. They're noisy in the car when the windows are down, I trip on them at least twice while carrying them from my car to condo, and one of my cats is always trying to suffocate the other in them. Dangerous things, these dry cleaning bags.
Not to mention they're horrible for us and the earth. I don't want to get too educational on you here but consider the following about single-use plastic dry cleaning bags (humor me, it's Earth Day):

I will miss Ray Bradbury. His work has been a frequent touchstone. His books and scripts for television and films are such a surefire way to stoke one's imagination. In addition, his nonfiction writings are often quite touching. For me, they serve as an imprimatur to go and grasp for every ounce of creativity, enthusiasm, and joy in life one can muster.
I'm grateful for the many books he's left behind for us to continue to enjoy. But I hope I don't seem greedy when expressing my disappointment that we won't get to savor still more pages from his trusty typewriter.
Thank you, Mr. Bradbury, for your tremendous artistic legacy and the example of your powerful personality. 91 years well lived: rest in peace.

...signed with the A's for 4 years, $36M.
Signing a foreign free agent is always a gamble, but you can't help but wonder if the Tribe would've been better off making this kind of move after declining the Grady option.
That said, Oakland has a small payroll and a terrible offense, and so this could be a really nice upgrade for them.

Looking to drop a few pounds this year? Add these spices to your weight loss plan.
If any herb or spice helped you to drop pounds safely (and quickly), you�d already know about it�it would be front page news. Sorry to say, it doesn�t exist. The most effective herbal extracts for weight loss are actually prohibited from being marketed and sold in the U.S. That�s because they contain ephedra, a plant chemical similar to methamphetamine, with the same risk for psychiatric problems, stroke, irregular heart rhythm, and even death as that once-popular (now illegal) diet drug.
<img class="fiveminVideoPlayer" style="width:570px;height:411px;display:block;" src="https://spthumbnails.5min.com/10351452/517572581_c_570_411.jpg" alt="Surprising Facts About Spices and Weight Loss, from Joy Bauer" data-product="playerSeed" data-params="playList=517572581|||height=411|||width=570|||sid=1268|||origin=fts|||relatedMode=2|||relatedBottomHeight=60|||companionPos=|||hasCompanion=false|||autoStart=false|||colorPallet=%23FFEB00|||videoControlDisplayColor=%23191919|||shuffle=0|||continuous=true" />
Still, there are some herbs and spices that can give you an edge when it comes to dropping pounds, and have other benefits that make them worth adding to your diet as well. These four have the most research supporting their use for weight loss.
RELATED: Cancer-Fighting Spices
Turmeric: This bright yellow Indian spice that�s an essential ingredient of curry contains curcumin, a plant compound that has been found to fight fat a number of ways. In mice, curcumin directly interacts with fat cells, pancreatic cells (which produce insulin), liver cells and muscles. It inhibits the growth of fat cells, reduces insulin resistance and leptin resistance, making fat cells more responsive to this hormonal satiety (�fullness�) signal. So it helps to regulate blood sugar, reduce the storage of fat in the liver, and protect against obesity-related inflammation.
Indians who see the protective benefits of turmeric get about 100mg to 200mg a day in their diet. But to drop pounds, you can safely work your way from about 500mg up to as much as 8,000mg day, says Dr. Bharat Aggarwal, of M.D. Anderson Cancer Research Center in Houston. Most people get these large amounts from a combination of diet and turmeric supplements or concentrated curcumin extract.
Cayenne: Hot red pepper may also help you drop pounds. In fact, any seasoning that makes you sweat--including mustard and any kind of pepper--will increase your metabolism slightly and cause a very modest calorie burn because it �wastes� calories as heat. Some research also suggests hot red pepper can ease appetite and decrease levels of ghrelin, a hormone involved in promoting appetite. There�s also intriguing research that red pepper may stimulate the breakdown of fat and inhibit fat storage. Add as much hot red pepper as you can tolerate to foods, or take cayenne capsules. Do note that you�ll have to keep cranking up the heat over time to see optimal effects, as your body tends to adapt fairly quickly to the hot stuff.
Cinnamon: This lovely spice seems to help with weight loss because it improves insulin sensitivity, which means that helps to lower blood levels of insulin, which is a fat-storage hormone and so, may help reduce your body�s tendency to store excess calories as fat, especially as abdominal fat. One study showed that as little as one teaspoon of cinnamon per day can boost the body's ability to drop pounds by reducing blood sugar and promoting healthier processing of carbohydrates. Research done with a water-soluble extract of cinnamon found that daily doses can lead to significant increases in lean body mass and a reduction in overall body fat. Other research has found that people who consumed three grams of cinnamon daily had improved insulin function and increased levels of a peptide reported to delay the emptying of the stomach. Delayed stomach emptying may help people eat less, preventing overeating which can lead to spikes in blood sugar.
While most people can safely add a teaspoon or so of cinnamon to their daily diet, do note that cinnamon contains a compound called coumarin, which is a liver toxin when consumed consistently or in very high doses. You can get a cinnamon extract that has had this constituent removed (one brand name: Cinnulin PF).

When then-Sen. Barack Obama publicly claimed the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008 after a long primary season, there was one blemish — he'd lost the South Dakota primary that day to Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Obama also would lose the state twice in general elections.
That bit of political history, according to the White House, is not what kept Obama from visiting South Dakota during the nearly 2,300 days he's been president — although he has managed to visit all 49 other states.
Finally, on Friday, Obama became the fourth president to have visited all 50 of the United States, when he delivered the commencement address at a community...

What Hurricane Sandy taught us about the Urban Apocalypse – Part 2
It was unsettling how things changed. From the safety of social feeds, we watched as photoshopped spoofs and Michael Bay rip-offs paled before the quiet aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Smouldering burns scarred into whiteboard neighbourhoods. A suburban block turned to some vast waste dump. A seafront bar dragged across a bay, a boat perched on railroad tracks. More than the Boxing Day Tsunami, this felt uncomfortably close to home.
We may be incredulous of the naive expectations of the massive storm; or the religious leader who blamed Sandy on New York State's acceptance of gay marriage. Yet, what lay in front of us was a solid lesson in where the future may lead for many cities across the globe.
In Part One of What Hurricane Sandy taught us about the urban apocalypse, we looked at Corporate Sponsorship, Disaster Parasites, and the not-so sweet smell of the apocalypse.
Past the cut, in Part Two, we'll be looking at the comfort of petty theft, how hipsters decorate their fallout digs, and why it's not over til it's over…

The design of energy-efficient buildings can be aided by intelligent computer tools that can evaluate design solutions and make recommendations for improving the buildings' energy performance. Such tools can be very productive when they are integrated with existing computer-aided design technology. Pacific Northwest Laboratory, in collaboration with the University of Oregon, the California Polytechnic State University, and the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, is developing such tools and integrating them into a computational environment that can be easily used by architects, engineers, and designers. This project, called the Advanced Energy Design and Operations Technologies (ABDOT) project, intends to demonstrate how building energy performance can be improved by combining expertise from a variety of domain perspectives during the design process. This paper describes the first prototype to emerge from the AEDOT work. AEDOT Prototype 1 consists of several design and energy tools that have been integrated using the lCADS framework developed at California Polytechnic State University. The prototype demonstrates how an integrated system responds to a building design as it is being developed on a CAD system. While the designer draws a building floor plan, a number of intelligent design tools (IDTs) examine the drawing and evaluate the design's acoustics, thermal profile, daylighting use, cost, and compliance with energy standards, to name a few. These IDTs also make design-specific recommendations intended to improve the cost, energy performance, and overall quality of the design.

The tale of a struggling musician is nothing new, but when combined with a look at the current state of the music industry, a tired story gains an entirely new perspective. "Broke*," a documentary by singer/songwriter Will Gray that screens at Wild Goose Creative on July 20, accomplishes just that.
"My story is individual, but it's not unique," Gray said in an interview. "I felt like someone's story needed to be told about pursuing music on a day-in, day-out basis just because the challenges are so prevalent."
Gray compares the way the public consumes music to the way most people go into a grocery store and buy a package of food without thinking about where it came from.
"There's no connection to how it got made or got to your phone or iPod," he said. "I wanted to pull back the curtain a little bit and share that experience with consumers."
And share he does. The documentary, which took a little more than two years to film, features three main components: footage of Gray's day-to-day life, interviews with numerous artists of varying popularity and musical performances from Gray and many of the artists interviewed. The film dissects the value of signing with a label, the struggle to become sustainable and what achieving success actually means.
Columbus is the second to last stop on the film's 17-city screening tour, which has taken Gray up and down the East Coast. He's touring with fellow musician Reva Williams, who is featured prominently in "Broke*" and is performing live with Gray after every screening. Each concert is followed by a question and answer session.
Gray describes his music as "hip-hop Americana." He attributed his unique blend of genres to his upbringing — he's originally from New York but grew up in Tennessee, so he was offered a look into two very musically different worlds. "I'm just trying to make sense of what's in my head and what's in my heart," he said.
And what's with the asterisk in the film title? Gray explained that because an asterisk signifies more than what you can see at first glance, it symbolizes hope. It's a reminder that everyone is working toward becoming better and breaking through any struggles life brings.
As for the future, he has signed a publishing deal with Warner/Chappell Music, an opportunity he describes as his "day job." He wants to do another tour, possibly in the fall and next spring, and to make more music with Williams.
For Gray, the ultimate goal has never been to play to a stadium of thousands. "I would just like to make the next project and have the artistic integrity," he said. "That's what I need."

I have not viewed the LPs so I'm responding to the posts, not the skating:
Rogozine's basics are noticeably weaker, his jumps have no flow, and even worse, he's boring. I don't know how he had 2pts higher in PCS - actually, he's quite grossly overscored in PCS overall.I didn't get the PCS judging for this competition. Brown and Tanaka should've had the highest, but the first doesn't have a 3A and the latter was pretty unknown coming in, so, of course they don't get it. Ridiculous.PCS are not scored on jumps.Keegan Messing choked big time according to reports. He was super nervous and popped the first axel, then reverted to a 3toe instead of a quad, along with other mistakes. Somehow he still managed the highest PCS of the competition.
Oleada, isn't it contradictory to complain about one skater's high PCS with bad jumps and also about another's low PCS because of lack of 3A?
^^^ This is a statement of personal opinion becoming the premise forThis wouldn't be the first time where the PCS are little off in order to ensure that the order of finish is correct.
And then there isAlso, words cannot express how much I disagree with the idea that PCS should be fudged around with to ensure some general feeling of "the right ranking".
Such insult and scorn thrown at both skater and judges because of a personal opinion based on viewing of one earlier performance!I agree with above on Rogozine--based on what I saw of him at the JGPF, he is actually a pretty boring skater and I don't find his basics all that great either. Maybe another judges' pet?
Of these, only Pockar and Chan, both non Gold winners, continued to greater success on the Senior level. And Canada's World Champions don't appear on this list. So winning the Juniors may or may not be a reliable indicator of further success.I actually count 6 medals : Brain Pockar (1976 bronze), Daniel Beland (1977 gold), Dennis Coi (1978 gold), Marc Ferland (1984 silver), Patrick Chan (2007 silver) and now Andrei Rogozine (2011 gold).
Congratulations to Andrei Rogozine for the win! And to Keiji Tanaka and Alexander Majorov for their Silver and Bronze.
I didn't get to see it live since this wasn't on Swedish TV but I am so glad for Sasha.
Thank you for your notes and vids.Perhaps there will be some from the FPs as well.
I just want to add something even if Sasha has Russian parents they moved to Sweden when he was 2 years old.So, he really does consider himself Swedish and he is very Swedish in every way.He also has a very nice Northern Swedish accent when he talks.His Russian is so so...
would be so grateful if somebody could post the Andrei's video ( the Canadian )!! Thanks in advance to whover can do this !
Looking at the Reuslts, I find that, as at 2010 Skate Canada, the placements are pretty much down the line with the TES, with only a couple of exceptions low in the list. PCS have essentially no effect on the placements, contrary to popular opinions on this thread.
Jason Brown needed 10.13 points more to win and additional 5.8 points to medal. He had already been awarded one of the highest PCS in a pretty tight range among the top 7.
It seems PCS and "bad judging", i.e. judging one disagrees with, are the usual "fall guys" propping up the winner when one doesn't like the final placements.
By the same token, Andrei is also very Canadian; he even stated in the Dec. 2010 issue of International Figure Skating that he has never visited Russia since his parents moved to Canada. (I gave the magazine to snowflake, so I don't remember how old he was at the time, but he was very young.)
Btw, welcome to the forum, EvaMaria! Although I'm a Canuck, I've developed a passion for Sweden's top male figure skaters this season, so you'll see me often on discussion topics related to them.
I was being sarcastic. I do believe Brown deserves higher PCS than he got - but I was saying that in the judges mind, since he didn't have a 3A, he's not getting higher marks.Oleada, isn't it contradictory to complain about one skater's high PCS with bad jumps and also about another's low PCS because of lack of 3A?
I stand by the statement that Rogozine was overscored in PCS. He is lacking in basics and flow, and his performance was really nothing special. YMMV, but I don't think he should've had such high score. I'm sure he's a wonderful kid off the ice and a hard worker, but that doesn't change facts.
ETA: and it looks I'm not alone in this feeling. From the GS article:
As in the short program, Rogozine had drawn to skate last and once again he delivered. The 18-year-old opened with a triple Axel-triple toe and followed up with another triple Axel and five more triples. However, he did not have much flow on his landings, and the program to The Rock was rather generic. The change foot sit spin was graded a level four while the other spins were a level two and three.
http://goldenskate.com/articles/2010/jw_ml.shtmlThe 16-year-old won the free skating with 132.92 points and earned 196.98 points overall. However, he should have deserved a higher component score, and some observers felt that he should have won overall.

Messing had the highest PCS of the night. Looking forward to seeing what he did to earn them
I've seen Messing's FS live, and he sells the program with wonderful characterization from the first note to the last. By comparison, Rogozine is a wind-up jumping robot.

With three weeks until the big day, Oscar nominees are sharing style thoughts.
Who has time to shop for an Oscar gown when you're distracted by junk food?
That's the sentiment Oscar nominee Anne Hathaway shared backstage at the Oscar nominee luncheon Monday.
The Les Misérables actress insisted she hasn't truly started looking for a gown for the Feb. 24 Oscars.
"I need to get on that, don't I? It was the Super Bowl," she explained. "I couldn't think about dresses with all that delicious fried food around."
PHOTOS: Oscar nominee luncheon
But all the Oscars statuettes backstage served as a reminder that the year's biggest red carpet is less than three weeks away.
Jessica Chastain, nominated for best actress for Zero Dark Thirty, noted that the right gown is a big decision. "It's funny. You know how little girls dream about their wedding dress? Well, I always dreamed about my Oscar dress," said Chastain.
She noted that she was going to look for something colorful that celebrates a woman's body — something that would be a throwback to old Hollywood. "But you never know. At the last minute, you might change your mind," said Chastain.
Jennifer Lawrence deadpanned backstage that she was going to wear sweatpants, before adding that she is close to making her Oscar decision. "I've been thinking about it, we have some sketches together," said Lawrence. "But nothing is decided. Last year, it was comfort. This year, it's like suck-it-up. Wear a corset. Yeah, we're going to go for fashion."
That can lead to problems, as when Lawrence attended the 2011 Oscars. She thought having a Philly cheesesteak and fries would calm her down before the show. "I had to double my Spanx," she said.
Amy Adams, a supporting-actress nominee for The Master, refused to give any secrets backstage. "What girl ever comes here and tells you I am wearing this by this designer?" she asked.
But she did give themes for the outfit. "It's different every year," said Adams. "It kind of depends on my mood. This year, I'm going with the idea of having fun and fulfilling a fantasy."

In October 2010, members of the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Smart Grid Demonstration Initiative determined that a comprehensive and accurate evaluation of consumer perspectives toward smart grid technologies is needed to further the understanding of motivators for consumer adoption. The member utilities desired information to help them address what could be interpreted as a lack of interest in the new technology and programs. Understanding the consumer will help coordinate activities ranging from designing informational materials to assisting stakeholders in relating to consumer attitudes in order to improve engagement.
The research described in this report is focused on consumer drivers to adoption and perceptions along with lifestyle impacts. The research includes understanding motivators, consumer perceptions, and conflicting information consumers might have received from various sources.

F.R.E.E Family Resource Guide - DO YOU HAVE YOURS???Submitted by denise on October 21, 2010 - 12:47pm. news
Last October, we launched the release of our Family Resource Guide, a comprehensive collection of family stories and helpful resources throughout New York State. We received generous funding from the North Star Fund, The Funding Exchange and other philanthropist agencies, as well as support from the Center for Constitutional Rights, to publish the guide.
We consider this guide "a labor of love," because it was lovingly created by those formerly incarcerated, friends and family members of the incarcerated, and advocates for justice.
Now our challenge is to make sure that EVERYONE in New York State has access to the guide and can share it with their friends, families, colleagues and anyone who might benefit from the information it contains.

Implications for nursing practice and research
■ The study findings that motivational interviewing improves mood and reduces mortality a year after acute stroke should inform clinical practice guidelines.
■ More trial data are needed to examine factors such as whether frequency of motivational interviewing sessions is more important than time frame, whether there are differences in therapist effects and whether there are differences using a training and supervision manual when applying motivational interviewing.
■ More research is needed to explore the mechanisms by which motivational interviewing is effective and how it …

Psychological capital as a personal resource influences bullying experiences of new graduate nurses as well as their perception of work environments as well as burnout feelings and physical and mental health problems.
Executives, managers, nurse administrators, physicians as well as nurses need to implement strategies to foster supportive, conflict-free working environments, such as strengthening psychological capital, in order to recruit and retain the next generation of nursing professionals. As a result, the nursing workforce will develop new graduates with high levels of engagement and commitment to their work, which will feed back into creating positive, supportive work environments.

In short: Shocking organisation on day & parking was really bad, but a flat run ...very dull to run but good for training for a marathon that is about it In full: Couple of comments for organisers:* the parking was really bad the road up to club house, surprise not more accidents should have been blocked off* people should have not been able to leave club when runners coming in, very dangerous and really hard when running over pot holes* thanks for the rubbish chip on ankle me & husband had bleeding ankles from the strap really bad idea* Marshalls ...what marshalls* if going to charge that much to run please organise better and start on time ... no excuse for that*use a speaker system for start of race was really adhoc and unorganised Have done a number of 1/2 marathons in run up to london marathon and this one was really badly organised, no map either of run so no supports could stand on route, toilets and facilities were not good either.Good luck in organising next year!Date of review: March 14, 2011
In short: Good race but with a few tweaks could be greatIn full: This was my time that I had done this race and my first half marathon.I used the race as training race to see how my training was progressing for the Brighton Marathon.On the whole I found the race very good and have no complaints about the course or drink stations. Althrough I think it was rather cruel to have us run towards a pub only to have us go round a cone and go back the way we have came before we got to the pubs front door!!!!I do however agree with most of the comments about the begining and end of the race. We got to the race HQ early but still ended up park in the town centre and walking because road was grid locked and people were parking anywhere. Once on the field there were no time pens,PA or any real idea where the course around the field was. The 15 mins delay was to be expected but I would of thought that the "fun run" could of been started after the main race had left the field. On returning to the HQ, while the marshalls were helpful, people who had finished were leaving the car park with little regard to the slower runners coming in.There were a few people around the course cheering the runners on which was nice but I feel that to town of Lydd could of done more. I know its not an organisers problem but if a few shops and the pub had been bothered they could of made a killing with doing teas and breakfast for the people start waiting for their friends, husband or wife to come back. Moan over..I did however manage to beat my expected time and my hoped time, so i was very happy.Date of review: March 14, 2011
In short: The Race Director should not be involved in taking entries on the day of the race but should see to it that the race start on time.Date of review: March 14, 2011
In short: A great flat, fast course. No major problems on the dayIn full: As my first ever event I found the course flat and fast and was really pleased with my time. This is an ideal event for beginners and will spur me on to tackle tougher courses during 2011 and beyond. I finished in 1hr 47 mins and didnt find traffic situation too bad, although it could be improved.Date of review: March 14, 2011
In short: I'll do it againIn full: The only real issue for me was the cars/parking situation, especially coming towards the finish, but I'm not sure what could be done about that apart from moving to a completely different location that has better access/more space. Although it would indeed help if cars could be prevented from exiting til at least 2 hours after the start.Otherwise this was a fantastic race in terms of PB potential - I beat mine by 6 minutes - and the spits-and-spots of local support were really nice, probably even more than I'd expect given the temperature, the remoteness of the location and that this isn't a high-profile event.Date of review: March 14, 2011
In short: Low key and enjoyableIn full: Fast flat course if the wind stays off. 3 water stations (one of which you pass twice) so no big gaps between water. Also water available at the finish. The pedestrians/cars/mountain bikes mix at the end was a bit of a pain, but if you have enough left to sprint the home straight you haven't raced hard enough, right?Marshalling was friendly, and occasionally very encouraging. With a rural route such as this I don't expect a lot of support from spectators.Low key rather than cheap would be my description. Many thanks to Martin and his team. I'll be back next year.Date of review: March 14, 2011
In short: Ban cars from the road, fill in the pot holes, but apart from thatIn full: Forget the start and the finish and I really enjoyed this event. Flat course, great scenery and set a PB. Support is sporadic so it can a bit lonely out there and if windy it could be very tough. But it was quiet, idyllic and fast - until you reach the end.The organisation was hit and miss. There should be no parking on the road at all (proved a nightmare) and no cars should be allowed to leave the HQ for at least two hours after the start. Trying to sprint finish is very difficult when you have to avoid cars maneuvering as well as the ankle-breaking pot holes.Not a fan of the sharp turn at the end and running through the car park with people milling around and almost crossing your path as they go to the toilets.Start and end - could do better.Middle - perfect.Date of review: March 14, 2011
In short: Flat, monotonous scenery rather than inspiring. Functional race rather than enjoyable. In full: As said by others, the end of the race is an anticlimax. You have to dodge through moving & parked cars & other runners who have finished. Its a shame that nothing in the town of Lydd is open as spectators have little to do during the bulk of the race. This race does the job for a pre marathon race & unfortunately I don't think it does much more. Date of review: March 14, 2011
In short: Charming low key event - fast flat course, friendly support, quick presentationsDate of review: March 14, 2011
In short: My first so special to me, good atmosphere, great medal, decent goody bag, cars & parking its all been said but it seriously lets the race down. Date of review: March 14, 2011

pete ,and mo , can you give us the dome height of your ovens ? neither companies publish this on their web sites
Thanks. How close are you getting to setting the entire place up?.
We're getting closer. Walls are up and waiting for sheetrock. We have a lot of custom steel work being fabbed now. I would say we're about 4-6 weeks from having the space ready. If you like, you can get a feel for us at: http://www.vesuvius-wfp.comSo much for not using this site for shameless self-promotion...
hey MO, hows it all going with the shop?? hows the oven? and hows business?anything to report, problems, costs, running the oven etc..we would all love to know ..got any new pics of the baby in action???
Mo, that is a impressive restaurant design. if you and your wife did it bravo !! the logo is ingenious . do you have your recipe figured out yet? was fred at all helpful on flour, or are you going in a different direction? sorry, i am a nosy one! larry
Bill, I agree with you (sorry I don't post that much, been a viewer for many years), I have worked with a couple of Fabricated Northern Italian ovens, and they are not even close to true Neopoltian ovens, as far as Marco's co. even Stefano Ferrara in Naples has no idea what special family makes his oven, and their family has been making ovens for close to 100 years. Marco contacted Ferrara a couple of years ago and wanted to represent their ovens, but things feel thru, and ever since he has been bad mouthing their ovens. ....
So did anyone ever get a final answer on the Type 1 vent-a-hood and fire suppression system for a Stefano Ferrara oven? I am looking at installing one in the City of Dallas and the Health Dept OK'd the oven but now the inspection group is wanting it under a hood and with fire control. Obviously, that totally screws up the look of the oven and I really want it out on display. I may be able to get around the hood issue with a "non-grease laden food" argument. But what about fire suppression...will arguing that it has a door make any sense? Any experiences you guys have with the Ferrara ovens would be greatly appreciated.

Tired of running on a treadmill or "climbing" stairs to nowhere? There are different (and, yes, fun) ways to stay in shape that are far from the same old workout routine. Viva The Gymnastic Revolution.
Take a Tumble
The Summer Olympics are happening right now, and traditionally, one of the most popular sports in the games is gymnastics. While your dreams of Olympic tumbling glory may be behind you, you don't have to abandon the desire to do back flips. The Gymnastics Revolution offers an open class for adults on Wednesday nights from 8:30-9:30. Anyone is welcome, from the total beginner who is looking for a different way to stay in shape to collegiate and professional-level gymnasts. Owner Mariellen Wagner says the instructors like to teach the adult class because it's such a mix of skills.
"Gymnastics is the base of all sports," she says. "The skills learned transfer into any other sport—balance, coordination, strength." Gymnastics is a total body workout, strengthening the core and all muscle groups. "Gymnasts are the strongest athletes," she says.
Classes start with a lot of stretching, and then, depending on fitness level, students are taught forward and backward rolls, bridges, handstands and back flips. Some students also get on the apparatus, like the rings and trampoline. To check out a single class, it's $20, and a block of five classes is $80.

It's true that Floyd isn't throwing as well as he did during his career-best '09 season. But, he's still showing the skills of a solid starter. Floyd has 7.6 K/9, and he has issued 3.4 BB/9. His ground ball rate is a career-high 50 percent, a positive development for a guy who has been plagued by the long ball in the past (career 1.33 HR/9)
Gavin has been plagued by a .381 batting average on balls in play, compared to a career .298 BABIP. Grounders generally have a higher BABIP than fly balls, but that 2010 mark is obscenely high and will drop. …
