It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hi all.
I am looking at participating in an "extreme" running/fitness event. I have seen one in particular that looks very interesting. Its called Dirty weekend and is in the west midlands (just) in a place called Burghley Estate near Peterborough.
It seems very reasonably priced for this type of event and seems like its gonna be a whole lot of fun.
Is anyone else looking at this event or even registered already ?
Hi Craig , myself and 4 other mates are planning on doing this race, we are entering as a team ( as its cheaper). We all did the Survival of the Fittest in Cardiff and we are now planning on the Dirty Weekend not sure if we are all going to survive the course!!
We are travelling from Pembrokeshire in South Wales, we all did survival of the fittest and have now got the bug for these sort of races!! I must say im looking forward to the race more than im looking forward to camping!! Where are you coming from? have you done this sort of race before?
You sound like you'll be ready for ths event by the time May comes round! Most the guys I run with have never run over 10 miles and they're still up for it !! I hate camping!!!
what??? You'll have to find someone to come with you!! Its gonna be such a good weekend, my tactic is play the "im only a girl" card and make the guys stop and help me over obstacles, seemed to work at survival of the fittest, then get as drunk as you can to numb the pain of running 20 miles plus 200 obstacles!!
May 3013 ?
At least I'll have plenty of time to get some training in.
and the hangover!!
ha ha 3013!!
ha ha i'll blame it on tiredness!
We are doing it as a team of 10..we have a mixed team, some 10k,half marathon runners, one 140 mile coast to coast in 5 days runner and the others are `very novice` runners, ie Not run more than 2 mile yet. Some have done a couple of rat race organised events, the Stockton on tees water thingy and Clumber Park 10k trail run..both organised superb.We are doing the 13 miler though as 5 of the team have just come back from doing the `Tough Mudder` event and said no way are they doing the 20 miles. It should be fun..cant wait..if I can do it at 59 anyone can..see you there.
I'm just looking at it as well. Already done the 10k X Runner versions and it does look epic. I'm going to enter the 20 miler (as it all costs the same) and hope to do the 13 miles.
It definitely looks great and at £119 for the weekend v £75 for Tough Mudder it looks a bargain.
Good luck and see you at the after party
I'm going
I would imagine with 200 or so obstacles that it won't be much of a run, but maybe more of a fast paced walk broken up by, you guessed it obstacles! I might be wrong though. Never done anything like this before but from my experience of events people normally tend to help each other out where they can.
Chantal let me know if you decide to join. I was going but fellow runners backed out. This should be a good event so I wouldnt mind joining someone to do it.
Currently £119.00 for a solo entrant, same price for full and half. I think you can enter full and then drop out half way if you aren't feeling it on the day!

Rants, Raves, Recriminations and Clowns
People of grace and the graceless: We have nothing but admiration for the Japanese people, especially those who suffered directly from the earthquake and the tsunami. No lootings, stoic bearing, grace under pressure. A nice word, too, for the media reporters who stayed and covered this disaster amid the obvious dangers, as well as those covering the tumultuous and continuing events in the Middle East and North Africa. They too placed themselves at risk and worked in dangerous conditions, and some of them paid the price.
Not so for the home front television newsies who keep thinking that all news is about us. How else to explain the amount of time allotted to a local mother and her son who were in Tokyo at the time of the quake, were scared by the swaying buildings, were ripped off at the airport and had to drive from all the way home from Chicago. No disrespect to the people interviewed, but doesn't that seem a mite less than devastating when compared to the losses suffered by the victims of the disaster? Get a grip or get a gripe.
The scandal at City Hall…don't get me started. Have you noticed that the wheels of government seem to be grinding like teeth? Now that Mayor Vincent Gray has hired a high profile lawyer and basically dumped his chief of staff—shortly before she was supposed to testify before the city council on hiring matters—things have not gotten better. They've just gotten quieter, except for Sulaimon Brown's occasional forays on local television.
Brown appeared for a Fox TV News interview last week in which he again accused the mayor of being a crook. "The public needs to know that their mayor is a crook," he said, more than once. Asked about his own status, he said he could not answer that question, or other questions about proof of his charges that he was paid by Gray aides and promised a job for going after Fenty at candidate forums.
He's kept his concern about what the public needs to know to himself for quite some time, precisely to the time he was ousted from the $100,000 plus job he did end up getting.
Gray's reactions to all this, and the furor that his hiring of friends and the children of friends at over-the-limit salaries remain strangely muffled and muted, to friends and foes alike.
In the meantime, there's a growing power vacuum in city government and on the city council. Chairman Kwame Brown, with his own troubles, is becoming less of a factor in the dealings of the council by all accounts. And we hope Mayor Gray isn't listening to Ward 8 Councilman Marion Barry, who's an expert on matters like these. According to a Washington Post columnist, he's arguing that Gray is a victim of Fenty supporters on the council and that hiring friends and their children is no big deal. Maybe in Mayor Daley's day it wasn't, but it should be for a candidate who ran as a man whose integrity was above reproach.
Barry's done this kind of thing before when he's been under fire, or gotten caught on tape. It's an old Barry game: we call it divide and con.
What it isn't, and what Mayor Gray shouldn't let it become, is a barrier to his most effective campaign slogan which is fast becoming an impossible dream: One City.
Now the city is faced with the possibility of investigation by the house oversight committee, which is licking its chops.
This isn't one of those tempests in a teapot you can ride out. We'd still like to hear some straight, heartfelt and mindful talk from Mayor Gray. A lot of people who supported him based on his apparent merits are sorely disappointed. Among them appears to be Ward 3 Councilwoman Mary Cheh, who, at considerable political cost, supported his candidacy when her constituents were markedly against it.
Where is all this union bashing and anti-collective bargaining coming from? The governor of Wisconsin seems to have touched off both a concerted effort on the part of local governments to punish, debilitate or get rid of public employee unions, which has caused unions (what's left of them) to rise up. So far the governor insists that he's a deficit cutter, not a union buster, but he has not shown how busting public employee unions cut the deficit.
But hey, the GOP did manage to pass legislation to cut off funding for Public Broadcasting. Only a trillion and change to go. Way to go, tough guys.
Drawn by the slogan pachyderms and clowns, we ran up to the hill the other day thinking it was a meeting of GOP regulars and their Tea Party additions. Turns out it really was a parade of elephants and clowns. But I repeat myself.

/// Viral Video: D9 Acting CEO Jane Lynch on the "R-Word"
"Glee" star Jane Lynch opened the ninth D: All Things Digital conference last week in a terrific bit of stand-up , posing as the acting CEO of News Corp. and making all kinds of comical proclamations. But one thing she thinks should not be made fun of are loaded words that denigrate those with intellectual disabilities, as you will see in this video below that she made with Lauren Potter, one of her colleagues on the hit Fox television show. In this PSA against the use of the R-words–retard and retarded–a comparison is made with racial slurs and it's effectively jarring to watch. Here it is, along with her opening night appearance at D9 : [ See post to watch video ]

Off the six meals we've cooked so far, a whopping four have come courtesy of Barefoot Contessa. I LOVE INA GARTEN. This has been stated and restated in this blog, but the adoration/near-obsession can not be adequately documented, no matter how long/extensively I babble/type. The woman is a goddess in blue collared shirts. I am gigantically jealous of her husband Jeffrey, not because he's married to her, but because he gets to eat her food. ALL THE TIME.
Anyway, we've so far prepared her stellar Turkey Lasagna, Orzo with Roasted Vegetables, Macaroni and Cheese, and Roasted Brussels Sprouts. Of the four, the first three are neither particularly cheap or healthy. The Brussels Sprouts, though ...
Dude. Mmmm.
If you're not a fan of sprouts, I can see how this "mmm" might not be enough to put you over the "ew" edge. (I'm talking to you, Ma.) HOWEVER, if you're even slightly interested in green things in any capacity, I highly suggest giving them a try. Perfectly salted, crunchy on the outside, and soft in the middle, they're delicious little bombs of veggie goodness. Four or five (okay, maybe six) are plenty filling for a side dish, and they can be paired with just about anything. (Her Orzo with Roasted Vegetables, for instance.)
As with almost all BC recipes, you could probably cut the olive oil by at least a third, and still have the dish tasting like a plate of heaven. However, I haven't tried it that way, so this was plenty good for now.
Readers, if you have anymore Barefoot suggestions that might be suitable for this blog, please let me know. She will always find a home here (even if the Hamptons might be a tad more comfortable).
Roasted Brussels Sprouts
Serves 6
Adapted from Ina Garten.
Note: Cell phone picture. Sorry 'bout that.
1-1/2 lbs Brussels sprouts, ends cut off and yellow outer leaves removed
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2) In a medium bowl, mix Brussels sprouts, oil, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat. Pour mixture on baking sheet. Roast 35-40 minutes, shaking pan occasionally, until sprouts are browned and beautiful outside, tender and wonderful on the inside. Salt to taste. Serve.

Create Momentos Muy Simpáticos
Profitable companies enjoy high levels of customer retention and are joined at the hip with the people they do business with. These companies measure the quality of their relationships at every point of contact. I suggest ypu measure "customer connectedness" in momentos muy simpáticos.
The word simpático does not translate perfectly into English. The closest word we have is empathy. But simpático also suggests the importance of understanding and appreciating the other person's perspective. The entire phrase means creating very "empathetic" moments.
The goal is to create momentos muy simpáticos at every point of interaction where a representative of your organization is interfacing with the customer. If these moments can be maximized, the value of the interaction will deepen the relationship in a way that results in repeat business, referrals, and the development of a customer for life.
How do you create momentos muy simpáticos?
1. Identify each point of contact you have with prospects and customers.
2. Clearly define the actions that would cause each customer to feel that they are "honored guests" while doing business with you
3. Create a scorecard using customer feedback to inspect the sense of connectedness you are creating with every customer.

Google, baby!
July 2, 2009
So, like most of the world, I'm a little in love with Google.
Not only is it massively awesome in general, but I also happen to be from Northern California – right in the neck of the woods that houses Google, Apple, and some of the other tech-y powerhouses. (Yes, you are correct: I AM a nerd.)
Recently, the Alliance installed Google Analytics on our own website, and I've been having a ball checking out the different stats and data, trying to figure out what people like, what people don't like, what people never see.
So turns out, this is what you guys like (our most visited pages):
Here, you can the fast-and-dirty answers to all your most pressing questions, like
"What is a ten-year plan to end homelessness?", "Why is Homelessness an Important Issue?", and
"How Much Does the Government Spend on Homelessness?".
2007 Homelessness Map
Ah, the data, data, data. An analysis of the last official homelessness counts from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Also available: state by state data, different demographics of homelessness, and homeless population changes from 2005.
HPRP Tools
If you're visiting this section, then you already know that the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program, a $1.5 billion dollar program that were approved as a part of the federal stimulus package designed to help address and prevent homelessness.
Some things that I think are worth a few more hits:
The 2009 Counts Media Map
An interactive map with the latest reports of 2009 homelessness counts. The official report isn't out yet, but this map tracks news reports from communities that have already submitted their information.
Daily Clips
A listing of homelessness-related stories on the national, state, and local level. (It's always provided me insight with what people are talking about, and what's going on in areas that I care about.)
About Us
The Alliance is a leader in homelessness field. Our work includes research, policy analysis,advocacy, and education. We've got a lot to offer – and you should know just what you're missing.
Take a minute, check it out, and let me know what you think.

Alaskan Connisseur Cruise: Pacific Princess Cruise Review by Anthony Spencer
Overall Member Rating
Alaskan Connisseur Cruise
Destination: Alaska
Embarkation: Seattle
The food and service in the Club restaurant was excellent and the staff appeared to be very well trained and were very helpful in ensuring my wife's gluten free diet was adhered to. Nothing was too much trouble if you wanted to depart from the menu . However our problem More was what to choose as it was all so wonderful.On the last night of the cruise there was a ceremony of the Baked Alaska pudding which no doubt added to the calories attained during the fortnight onboard.
The Captain, who was Italian was a bit of a character and regularly sang opera to the passengers. we were invited by him to a Cocktail Party and were given delicious cocktails as well as a bit of opera singing by him.
The entertainment on the ship consisted of the latest films as well as high quality variety shows with really good dancers (the best were British). There was aslo a bit of fun during the sea days with games like Trivea where we competed with other teams.
We booked eight trips in each port of call and all of them were excellent where we saw bears,whales,seals porpoises and magnificent Bald Eagles. We stopped at Ketchikan, Skagway, Valdez,Seward (Anchorage), Kodiak island, Icy Strait Point, Juneo and Victoria. All these places offered a unique experience and we were in the hands of professional and knowledgable guides, which made the trips very enjoyable. My favorite highlights were Glacier Bay Cruising, White Pass Railway at Skagway in the Yukon, Whale watching in Juneo, and the trip organised in Kodiak Island where among other amazing things we saw was the opportunity to handle King Crabs and exotic sea cucumbers. Victoria, on Victoria Island was beautiful and very like England.
We also met on the ship and dined with some very nice Americans who were good company. There was a mixed crowd of young and old on the ship but there was no rowdiness or drunken behavior that have been reported on some British ships. All the people we met were quite charming and had similar aspirations to us. We are not snobs but we are discerning diners and do not tolerate fools or unsociable behaviour. Also with a smaller ship the atmosphere is more cosier.
It is our opinion that Princess give excellent value for money, great comfort and luxury dining on their ships. The staff were fantastic and the overall service would put many Hotels to shame.
Both my wife and I will definately book another Princess Cruise. Less

Very comfortable Mini Suite. Good Bed and Bathroom and room to sit and relax. I think an improvement would be a more modern TV system with a satelite system to obtain more channels. Cabin steward was very good and efficient.

So with Apple dropping the ball on creating their own mapping application I took out in search of the best navigation for iOS. I didn't want to pay for a mapping solution so I tried only free options. After testing Apple Maps, Google Maps and several others I stumbled across Waze.
Waze is a relatively newcomer in navigation but that may be the best thing for them. They have re-invented navigation as we know it. Waze is built on people, it is a social navigational application. The application itself uses users experience and realtime data to create the most accurate traffic information.
The map is neatly organized, easy to understand and the voice prompt are timely and straight forward. There are many options about how to be more social in the application from sharing your location to adding current road conditions to alert other drivers. As you add information you get points and become a more upgraded avatar. There is a way for the more cautious to be "invisible" and use Waze in a less social manner.
Download Waze from the Apple App Store and let me know what you think.

Charlotte Church has launched a scathing attack on the music industry branding its depiction of women as "hyper-sexualised", "cartoonish" and "male-dominated".
In a far reaching address, the former classical-singer-turned-pop-star warned female artists of "denigrating" themselves and said decisions she had made at the behest of the music industry had left her open to a barrage of abuse that was still harming her career.
Speaking in Salford at an annual lecture in honour of the late broadcaster John Peel, Church, 27, said women were being "coerced" into sexual roles to cling on to their careers, while those using sexual imagery to boost their careers such as Rihanna and Cyrus were classified as "unattainable sexbots".
"The irony behind this is that the women generally filling these roles are very young, often previous child stars or Disney-tweens, who are simply interested in getting along in an industry glamourised to be the most desirable career for young women," she said. "They are encouraged to present themselves as hyper-sexualised, unrealistic, cartoonish, as objects, reducing female sexuality to a prize you can win."
Drawing on her own experiences the Welsh singer, whose top 10 hits included Crazy Chick and Call My Name, recalled her transition into pop music from a clean-cut classical singer. "When I was 19 or 20, I found myself…being pressured into wearing more and more revealing outfits and the lines that I had spun at me again and again (generally by middle aged men) were 'you look great you've got a great body why not show it off?' or 'Don't worry it'll look classy. It'll look artistic'"
And in a warning to emerging stars, she added: "Now I find it difficult to promote my music in the places where it would be best suited because of my 'history'. But at the time it was the option presented to me."
She added: "Whilst I can't defer all blame away from myself, I was barely out of my teenage years, and the consequence of this portrayal of me is that now I am frequently abused on social media, being called 'slut', 'whore' and a catalogue of other indignities that I'm sure you're also sadly very familiar with."
The comments are likely to intensify debate over pop music's increasing use of sexual imagery which has intensified since August after Miley Cyrus's controversial performance at the MTV video music awards.
The former Hannah Montana actress's performance drew widespread condemnation not least from Irish singer Sinead O'Connor who said her work was a measure of a music industry that was intent on exploiting her.
O'Connor later threatened legal action after Cyrus replied to her open letter with a series of Tweets which appeared to mock her history of bipolar disorder.
But in an unflinching speech, that will be broadcast at midnight on 6 Music, Church described the exchange as symptomatic of "online pissing contests" that "only serve to detract from the strong messages being put forward by [other] artists ."
Even those not known for propagating sexual imagery were addressed in Church's speech which will be broadcast on Radio 6 at midnight. Taking the example of Adele, Church said: "Lyrically her songs are almost without exception written from the perspective of the wronged woman, an archetype as old as time, someone who has been let down by the men around her, and is subsequently in a perpetual state of despair."
She added: "The culture of demeaning women in pop music is so ingrained as to become routine, from the way we are dealt with by management and labels, to the way we are presented to the public".
Church's fame started at the age of 11 when she sang classical music during a telephone interview on ITV's This Morning. She went on to release a number of classical albums before having a successful pop career. In her speech she said: "If Rihanna had not grown up watching the videos of the nineties then it might not be quite so essential for her to portray her sexuality so luridly, so constantly, and so influentially upon the next generation."

The Pajaro Valley Unified School District wants you, the voter, to fill in their $150 million fiscal hole with your money and the money of every property owner in the district for the next 35 years. Here is the catch: They get to spend that $150 million of your money while you and your neighbors get to pay back $350 million plus for the privilege of voting yes on Measure L.
For years, the district has been neglecting the responsibility given to it of educating your children while providing a safe and healthy environment in which to do that job. Instead, they have been using large portions of the public's money entrusted to them to provide its administrative officials with top pay, benefits and golden parachutes when they decide to retire or go on to their next government job.
For years the magic words from the district's administration and board when considering budget priorities has been to "defer maintenance." These words have resulted in energy-deficient windows, doors, walls, cooling and heating systems; leaking roofs; unsanitary and unsafe bathrooms; electricity, water and plumbing systems that need updating and upgrading; and decrepit buildings and classrooms.
This system of "deferring" has meant that nothing gets done except in an emergency. Recent state education and district budgets don't even allocate any funding for "deferred maintenance."
Now they want your money and your neighbor's money to make up for this decades-long wasteful behavior.
As the district has not gone through its list of Measure L projects with any substantive citizen oversight, we believe it is necessary for an independent commission to comb through the district's list to separate the "needs" from the "wants" before asking the voters to make an informed decision to burden themselves with another layer of Measure L taxes (estimated at $38 per $100,000 of assessed value) on their property for the next 35 years in addition to already-on-the-books Pajaro Valley Unified School District Measure J ($32.409 per $100,000) and Cabrillo College's Measure D ($38.955 per $100,000).
Vote no on Measure L.
Jim Miller is a bond oversight committee member of the Pajaro Valley Unified School District. He lives in Aptos.

Very comfortable. A great shoe altogether, never slip when playing in rain or playing after it just rained.

Great shoe. Switched over from Nike because they kept falling apart.

Most comfortable golf shoe I have ever had. Keeps feet dry. I will not need to buy new spikes for some time. Great job Adidas. Nike spikes fall apart.

Game Blog: Padres outlast Brewers, 2-1, in 12 innings
The Milwaukee Brewers try to build on their major-league-leading 15-5 record tonight as they host the San Diego Padres in the second of a three-game series at Miller Park.
Yovani Gallardo starts for the Brewers, while Ian Kennedy goes for the Padres.
The news of the day, of course, was Martin Maldonado and Carlos Gomez being fined and suspended by MLB for their roles in Sunday's brawl with the Pirates. Maldonado accepted his suspension while Gomez is appealing, thus Gomez is again leading off and playing center field tonight.
Also of note is Khris Davis returning to left field after having to be lifted from the lineup last night as a result of the virus that's making its way through the Brewers' clubhouse. Shortstop Jean Segura has also been dropped one spot lower in the lineup, to eighth.
You can follow the game with the live box score, and also with our Twitter feed.
Padres – Three up, three down for Gallardo in the first with a strikeout of Yasmani Grandal to end it.
Brewers – Ryan Braun draws a two-out walk, but Aramis Ramirez strikes out swinging and strands him.
Padres – Another 1-2-3 inning. Gallardo at an economical 24 pitches through two.
Brewers – Jonathan Lucroy singles and Khris Davis doubles to left-center as Will Venable lets the ball get past him. Kennedy rebounds nicely, striking out Mark Reynolds, getting Jean Segura to foul out to Grandal behind the plate and then striking out Gallardo to get out of the jam.
Padres – Chris Denorfia doubles to right for San Diego's first hit, but Gallardo strikes out Kennedy and shatters Everth Cabrera's bat to keep the Padres scoreless.
Brewers – Gomez singles and then winds up at third after stealing second and Grandal throws the ball into center. Scooter Gennett flies out to center and Braun flies out to right. Ramirez and Lucroy walk to load the bases, then Davis strikes out looking at three pitches. Kennedy gets out of another tight spot, but is already up to 73 pitches.
Padres – Gallardo gets two groundouts to second before walking Smith and Chase Headley. He recovers by getting Jedd Gyorko to tap out to the mound.
Brewers – Kennedy gets just what he needs – an easy inning – with three groundouts.
Padres – Yonder Alonso doubles to left and Denorfia reaches on an infield single to put runners on the corners with nobody out. Kennedy follows with a bunt down the third-base line that Gallardo gets to but bobbles as Alonso scores. A sac bunt and E1 there. With Cabrera up, Lucroy picks Denorfia off second. That's a huge out. Cabrera strikes out looking and Venable smashes one off Gallardo, but he recovers, picks the ball up and throws him out at first to limit the Padres to just one run.
Brewers – With one out, Scooter Gennett lines a homer into the Padres' bullpen in right. Braun follows with a long drive to center, but it's just short of the wall. Ramirez then grounds out. Brewers settle for a 1-1 tie.
Padres – With one out, Smith and Headley single to right. Then Gallardo gets Gyorko to ground into a 6-4-3 double play to snuff out the budding rally.
Brewers – Kennedy with another 1-2-3 inning.
Padres – Gallardo counters with a 1-2-3 inning.
Brewers – Kennedy replaced by Nick Vincent. Lyle Overbay delivers a pinch-hit single with one out and steals second, but Gomez and Gennett strike out to end the threat.
Padres – Zach Duke now on and delivers a three-up, three-down inning with a pair of strikeouts.
Brewers – Joaquin Benoit now on. He gets outs and Lucroy reaches on an infield single. Davis hits a rope to center, but right at Venable.
Padres – Jim Henderson comes on and strikes out the side. Very impressive on a night when Francisco Rodriguez isn't available.
Brewers – Dale Thayer now on. Segura reaches on an error by Cabrera with one out and steals second with pinch-hitter Rickie Weeks at the plate. He strikes out looking. Gomez flies out softly to center and the Brewers are going into extras for the second time in three games.
Padres – Alfredo Figaro, recalled from Class AAA Nashville Monday, now on. He'll go for a while here. Alonso flies out to left. Denorfia singles to right. Figaro strikes out pinch-hitter Alexi Amarista and Reynolds makes another fine play at first, smothering a hot shot by Cabrera and racing over to the bag to beat him by a step for the out.
Brewers – Gennett singles to left to lead it off against Donn Roach, but Braun strikes out on a pitch in the dirt. Ramirez flies out to the warning track in right. With Lucroy up, Gennett steals second. Lucroy then is walked intentionally to bring Davis to the plate. First-pitch swinging, he pops out to center.
Padres – A 1-2-3 inning for Figaro with a pair of strikeouts.
Brewers – Roach matches him with a 1-2-3 inning of his own. To the 12th we go.
Padres – Headley finally breaks the deadlock with a leadoff homer way out to right-center. Padres hand a 2-1 lead to closer Huston Street.
Brewers – Gomez and Gennett ground out to shortstop and Braun works the count full before striking out looking to end it. A 4-hour, 21-minute pitcher's duel that the Padres win.
- Brewers try for sweep of Nationals
- Brewers try to extend home winning streak
- Brewers sign first-round draft pick Corey Ray
- Chris Capuano back to Square 1 after setback
- Brewers open six-game homestand without Ryan Braun
- Brewers, Class AA Biloxi extend deal through 2020
- Craig Counsell pleased with Scooter Gennett's defense
