I have worked together with Innova for awhile on a travel client, delivering marketing services. Innova has worked extensively on Facebook, content development, content creation and many other social aspects that have delivered real value to the client. I enjoy working with Innova, they do a great job of delivering work on time and the client loves what they do!
Engaging the public relations services of Innova was one of the best business decisions we made at Common Sense Advisory. They quickly grasped the core idea of our business, saw opportunities that we didn't, identified and filled gaps in our marketing strategy. Innova regularly pitches in to help with sales, marketing, and even operational tasks when we need another set of hands. On top of that, they do it with a grace and sense of humor.

Fabulous project with Innova Communications! At the end of last year, our firm decided to re-brand to include a new, smart technology driven service to help people start saving and investing. We started this process with Innova by changing our website and our message. It was a project that was fun and exciting, but not without hard work and a lot of soul searching. Innova put us through some branding exercises to help us focus on exactly what we provided to our clients, and what made us unique. At first it didn't necessarily make sense – especially with three partners at three different age brackets (Boomer, Gen Y, and Millennial). The input we gave was very diverse, to say the least. But, in the end, Innova pulled it all together and we couldn't be happier with the results. Building our brand is a work in progress and as long as technology driven services continue to dominate our industry, we will continue working with Innova, who has a way of pulling it all together that reflects who we are and how we value our clients.
Partnering with Innova is an entrepreneurial's dream come true. Innova understood, captured & helped communicate Oxygen Plus' brand identity while also offering practical solutions that lifted our exposure & supported our company's underlying business strategy & goals. The introduction to, & implementation of, a successful & powerful e-commerce solution, as well as the accurate, up-to-date advice & assistance provided for online & social media success, attest to the value Oxygen Plus (O+) received from Innova. The team's profound competency and expertise enabled us to easy leverage & catapult our brand's awareness and helped O+ strengthen its leading position in the portable, recreational oxygen category.
When we first partnered with Innova, our expectations were that they would to help us communicate better with our current and prospective clientele, increase brand awareness locally and regionally, and organize large scale events. We've received all of the above, and so much more than we could have ever imagined. Innova has been integral in helping us amplify our strengths and fix our weaknesses. Their steadfast devotion to our company's mission is what's helped take our business to the next level. Since working with Innova, not only do our employees communicate better with the outside market, they communicate better with each other, making them more drastically more effective at their respective job descriptions. Sales are up, conversions are up, and energy is super high.

Sitting around discussing firearms with some pals and the question came up about minors (under 18) and their legal rights to defend themselves. (A little background...all of us have older kids that are very comfortable and proficient with firearms and often hunt, practice, and compete with us dads). Anyway, the question arose about our kids using deadly force with a firearm to defend themselves in a situation where we were not around, or God forbid, had already failed to the same. So here are the two hypotheticals we presented...
1. As dad's we conceal carry 90% of the time as allowed by law. Most of our kids know this. BG presents himself as intending to harm us and for any given reason takes dad out of the game (permenantly or otherwise). Do our children then have the right to aquire our carry weapon and defend themselves appropriately??
2. Some of our sons are old enough now where at times, they may be left to themselves at home while us adults partake in shopping, dinner, movie, etc.... If a BG were to break in the home, other than dialing 911, would our sons have the right to defend themselves with an available firearm if necessary??
Now for some clarification and our opinions as discussed at this gathering. Scenario 2 is the tougher of the two because of laws that prohibit us as gun owners from allowing our children access to ready firearms. In Texas, keeping my guns in a manner that would allow access by my children is a big no-no. However, as I mentioned before, my son often participates in shooting sports with me, so there have been times when I have asked him to retrieve an item from the safe, so he may or may not know my combination depending on when I changed it last. Our opinion on Scenario 2 was that, of course we want our children to protect themselves when necessary, and although the child may be protected legally in defending himself, we as the adults would probably be liable to the BG or the govt for allowing access to the guns. We then all agreed any legal action against us would be gladly dealt with if it meant our children were alive and well.
Scenario 1 presented a little more questionable debate as to the definition of "allowing access by a minor" guidelines.
I am just curious if any of you fine folks have considered this type of scenario concerning your child, or if you have heard of any such cases that this may have actually played out.

Trustmark's Red Beans and Rice Celebration
September 23, 2010 1:08 PM ET
This year's theme is "Big Easy Beans-Laissez Les BEAN Temps Roulez" (Let The Beans Time Roll). Judges will award prizes not only for the best beans, but also for the most creatively decorated booths, while the Peoples' Choice award will be decided by the voting public. As always, children are encouraged to dress up in costume and come prepared to trick-or-treat.
Each year, dozens of congregations, professionals, and individuals vie for the coveted title of the Best Red Beans & Rice in town, and over a thousand people from around the metro area turn out to sample the competitors' beans, listen to the bands and enjoy the festivities. The celebration includes kid-friendly activities such as face painting, space jumps, a costume contest and trick-or-treating at the cooking stations. College football fans can even take in televised games on the park's giant outfield screen.
The festival provides a great way for businesses, neighbors and even congregations to enjoy an afternoon of fellowship while supporting a great cause. Stewpot is a 28-year-old interfaith agency that provides assistance at no charge to individuals and families who are in need of food, shelter, clothing, love and encouragement.
Hosting the event at the park provides a rain-or-shine venue for the food, kid's activities, music and all of the other fun and festivities. "The last three years have demonstrated that Trustmark Park is a great festival venue and a way to attract even more metro-area supporters," said Frank Spencer, executive director of Stewpot Community Services.
In 2009, Stewpot served more than 140,000 meals in its Jackson Stewpot Kitchen and its Meals on Wheels program, or through one of the four Stewpot shelters. More than 1,200 families and individuals were provided safe overnight shelter, and more than 6,000 were provided emergency grocery supplies through the Stewpot Food Pantry.
Adult tickets are $10 at the gate and $8 in advance. Tickets for children ages 6-12 are $5, and those under 6 are free. Advance tickets can be purchased at Trustmark Park, all metro-area Trustmark offices, Bebop and McDade's Markets.

In coming years a high-priced, prestigious car won't mean mainly big and roomy. It's just as likely to be small - and green.
We all know what a luxury car should be: Long, roomy, a big V8 or even V12, lots of electronics. Picture a Mercedes E or S Class, the BMW 7 Series, the Audi 8 or big Lexus or Cadillac. Or even a Lincoln Town Car.
But that's an old definition. Nowadays, it's the brand that counts, so luxury may be a smaller Mercedes C Class or BMW 3 Series or Cadillac CTS. Still, they're not cheap; one of these will cost $USD40,000.
But there will be a broader definition of luxury or prestige tomorrow, because times are changing again. We are creating new markers to show that we are rich enough, and that we are caring enough, to spend thousands of dollars in the "green" cause. It's quite possible, even likely, that tomorrow's luxury or prestige car will be quite different, and open the door to new competition, too.
Here's what I mean: We have a couple of new car companies in the US, Tesla and Fisker, making expensive electric cars (actually Fisker still is getting ready to produce). The Tesla is a small sports car and sells for $USD120,000; the Fisker is to go for around $USD80,000. Those are luxury car prices.
It's likely that our traditional luxury carmakers will produce electric plug-ins, too, and charge more for them than for the big V8s. They may or may not have the performance or room of today's prestige cars, depending on how they are built, but they will be even pricier. New technologies, and lithium batteries, are expensive.
And the luxury brands might make some quite small cars and sell them at relatively high prices for their size. Some of this exists now. Mercedes, for example, has its small A Class car that it sells in Europe, and parent Daimler builds the tiny Smart.
The cost built into these future cars will be more in the engine technology rather than the leather on the seats. But what counts to the manufacturer is being able to charge enough to make a good profit.
We can see a bit of this starting. Mercedes sells its S400 hybrid, with a six-cylinder engine plus lithium batteries, instead of a V8. The car doesn't perform as well as the big-engined Benz but is accounting for 10 per cent of the Mercedes S Class sales in the US.
Mercedes will also start selling cars in the US with four-cylinder engines in about two years, and later will offer a four to replace the V6 in some prestige E Class models.
This shift to technology-driven luxury opens the door for other manufacturers to go into the low volume but high price markets.
Honda, for example, built a distinct model that runs on a hydrogen fuel cell engine. Hydrogen and oxygen mix and create electricity that runs the car and the emission is water. The car has been used for tests, but should Honda decide to build one and sell it, the price would put Honda in the luxury field.
Who would buy such a car, which would be expensive but a problem to use because there aren't many gasoline stations selling hydrogen? Rich folks.
A real example: Nissan is going to build an electric car soon. It's called the Leaf. The company hints it will cost $USD30,000 or so without the batteries (which will be leased separately). The car will have limited use: recharging will be a pain, and you won't want to visit Grandma in Minnesota in winter - batteries don't work so well in the cold. The people who buy these cars won't be those going for a sub-prime mortgage. They are the folks who buy expensive toys and want to show they care about the environment.
Look at the little Smart car. Again, we're talking about a toy for the wealthy. How about the coming Chevrolet Volt electric/hybrid car? It will be priced around $USD40,000 we hear. Again you can bet the buyer won't be your typical Chevy owner.
Mass-market producers often wish to sell some pricey cars and earn some prestige, too. Chevrolet sells the expensive Corvette. Ford sold the expensive Thunderbird.
Nothing is certain, of course. Small but expensive cars haven't done that well in the US so far. The Audi A3, around $USD30,000, has only 3300 sales in 11 months. The BMW 1 Series has 10,000 in 11 months while the larger 3 Series has 82,000 sales.
But every luxury carmaker in the world is showing design studies of models with electric or hybrid engines. And mass-market producers, like Chevy and Nissan, are getting into the act, too.
Prestige cars are changing. You don't have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind is blowing.

Words That We Don't Have In The English Language
Ok – quick – what's a word that describes the day AFTER tomorrow? Come on – you can do it. Actually, no you can't. There isn't a word for that in English, but other countries have a word for it. That's just ONE example of the problems with our lexicon (that means language)
According to the Week we have a very faulty language here. Example -what do you call….
The day after tomorrow? That's called ZEG in Georgia
The feeling of being uptight when you can't remember somebody's name?
That's called a "tartle" (It's Scottish)
When a lady stands in a Walmart or any other public spot yelling obsenities to her kids?
"Kaelling" (from Denmark)
There's a whole list of them that you can find here at the Week.
Here's one more. .How about someone who compulsively lies and then sues you if you accuse them of lying?
That's called being "Lanced" (I made that up)
Can you think of any? Would love to know below!

Ms. Dekkers and Dr. Zubrow talk about the global perspective on high-level maturity organizations.
TEXT TRANSCRIPT: 1 March 2001
Copyright 2001 Quality Plus Technologies and Carol Dekkers. All rights reserved.
Announcer: Welcome to Quality Plus e-Talk! with Carol Dekkers, brought to you by StickyMinds.com, the online resource for building better software. This program will focus on the latest in the field of technology. All comments, views, and opinions are those of the host, guests, and callers. Now let's join your host, Carol Dekkers.
Carol: And thank you for joining Quality Plus e-Talk! with Carol Dekkers. I'm Carol Dekkers, and I'd like to say thank you for listening, whether you're listening over the Internet or listening from the Phoenix area. Welcome to the show. This week's guest for show number nine is Dr. David Zubrow, and before I get into introducing David - you're on the line, correct, David?
David: I'm here.
Carol: You finally got through. It's interesting that with the old technology of phone lines, that oftentimes they're busy. So I'm glad that you're here, I'm glad that you got through. This is show number nine in a series of thirteen shows on building better software. And we've had a lot of different guests that have been here talking about testing, software developers versus software testers, we've talked about Test Management 101, we've had emerging extensions to the COCOMO II estimating model, and everyone has been looking forward to this show as much as the Tom DeMarco show we had last week. So David, I know that you have a lot of listeners who are out there. He's freshly back from India, and we're going to be talking about that in a couple minutes.
First I'd like to tell you just a little bit about myself and what I do. I'm the president of a company called Quality Plus Technologies, and we focus on allowing companies to build better software by measuring what they do. And through doing that, they can find out what they're doing well and what they're not doing well. And we use measurements such as function point analysis, which is really a square foot for software, defect tracking, and a lot of different things that can really tell you about your process. And one of the things that we've developed, which fits in well with this week's show, is we've developed a calendar that on the left-hand side of it, not interchanged with the months, on the left-hand side of it shows the capability maturity model integrations model. The new capability maturity model, paired with where function point analysis can help you achieve the process area. So if anyone would like a copy of that, I'd like to invite you to send an email to [email protected], and many of you may be listening through this Web site already, or through StickyMinds.com, who is our sponsor, and I'd like to say thank you to our spoonsor.
Without further ado, I'd like to introduce Dr. David Zubrow, who is the team leader for the Software Engineering Management and Analysis, the SEMA group, within the Software Engineering Institute, at Carnegie Mellon University. His areas of expertise include empirical research methods, data analysis, data management, it goes on and on. Since his arrival at the SEI in 1992, he has been a member of the Capability Maturity Model Integration product development team, the CMMI development team. He's the lead developer of the software process maturity questionnaire. He has co-authored technical reports entitled "Software Process Automation." He has been the assistant director of analytic studies at Carnegie Mellon University. So, he has been a research coordinator. He has got a PhD in social

The answer is simple, liberty; liberty to go ahead and select aTorontoone. The selection may be based on the visually appealing features of the escort or the intelligence that she carries on her persona with style.

Escorts are known to bring along with them a certain charm and atmosphere that is pleasant and liberating. A man can be himself without being worried that his real self will be laughed upon or criticized.
Moreover, Toronto escorts are absolutely discreet about their clients and the sessions that they encounter. This makes the entire episode absolutely safe and satisfactory for the client, who can talk aTorontothing, without being discussed in his own circle.

Next month, on September 11, Christchurch firefighter Steve Warner will do as he always does on that day.
He'll stop to remember his fellow firefighters in the United States, who died when they battled their way into New York's burning World Trade Center to rescue survivors from the terrorist attacks.
Warner says the death of 343 firefighters from the New York Fire Department is a tragedy that he and his colleagues still feel keenly.
Each year, the events of that terrible day nearly a decade ago are remembered at a ceremony at a Christchurch reserve. "After September 11, we approached the Americans and set up a firefighters' reserve," Warner says.
"We have a piece of steel girder [from the World Trade Centre] and it's been made into a sculpture."
Each year, after speeches and wreath-laying, the firefighters observe a minute's silence.
They did it last September, a week after Christchurch's first devastating earthquake, when exhausted local firefighters were still searching for bodies in the wreckage.
But the rubble of Christchurch would have been dwarfed by the mountain left after the September 11 attacks.
For 10 months after 9/11, a battalion of law-enforcement officials combed through almost two-million tonnes of material at a Staten Island landfill, sifting through toxic rubble for items that could identify the victims interred in the ashes and dust.
Eventually, forensic workers unearthed enough detail to identify more than 300 people. Among people's possessions were 4000 photographs and another 54,000 personal items, ranging from watches to ID cards.
As national president of the Professional Firefighters Union, Warner understands the close bonds shared by firefighters.
He says the reserve near the main Christchurch Fire Station was dedicated in 2002 to honour fallen firefighters, wherever they may come from.
Ten years after the attacks, Ground Zero in New York is gradually being rebuilt. A prominent construction is the new 541m skyscraper known as 1 World Trade Centre, once referred to as the Freedom Tower, due to open in 2013.
Another five office towers, one already complete, are included in the rebuild. So is the National September 11 Memorial, dominated by two huge reflecting pools set deep in the earth, flanked by waterfalls and marking the footprint of the fallen Twin Towers.
The pools will be unveiled on the anniversary of the disaster next month, when New York's biggest memorial service will take place at Ground Zero.
President Barack Obama and his predecessor, George W. Bush, are expected to attend, as are the families of those killed a decade ago in attacks on Manhattan, the Pentagon and Pennsylvania.
* 3000 People killed.
* 372 Foreign nationals, excluding 19 hijackers, killed.
* 56 Countries that lost citizens.
* 70,000 New Yorkers suffering long-term health problems caused by toxic dust.
* 5.5 million tons of rubble from the collapsed buildings.
* 1.7 million work hours spent sifting through debris at Fresh Kills Landfill, Staten Island.

"Some would say I am overly anal about my hair. For over 15 years I have methodically straightened my wavy, course, unruly hair with a straightening iron. This grueling process took me anywhere from 30-40minutes to achieve the straightened look I desired! Its not only frustrating to me but imagine how annoyed my husband was waiting for me to get ready! A month ago I was completely fed up and decided to get the Keratin straightening treatment. Words cant express how life changing this treatment was! Yes, it sounds pathetic but honestly Im a happier person because of it!!! It now only takes me 10 minutes to do my hair and all I have to do is dry it with a brush- NO iron needed!!! I have more free time in the morning before work, more time to spend with my kids and not only do I now get ready quicker than my husband, my hair stays straight the entire day no matter what the weather is. Before I used to loathe getting ready because the process was so labor intensive, now I dont blink twice!

launches news in English
Both the two companies HTC and Samsung are ready to showcase their new flagship products in the coming year. While Samsung has geared up the Galaxy series for a new member, HTC is planning to release a new competitor in the market.
The Taiwanese manufacturer HTC is working on a new product M7 for launch in the first quarter of 2013. We speculate the date to clash with the dates of the CES 2013. So we might see an announcement of this device. This is expected to be a 5 inch HD phone featuring a Qualcomm quad-core processor, 13 megapixel camera and a unibody aluminium shell.
This phone from is going to give a competition to the Galaxy S4, which is also expected to be launched by Samsung in February coming year. This phone will feature a 5 inch display screen and a quad-core ARM processor to power the device. This phone will have 12 megapixel primary camera and is rumored to sport a bendable screen. According to a report in the Korea Times, the company has confirmed the product at a European technology exhibition in February 2013.

|Home > Opinion > Red Symons > Article
One of my colleagues on the show recounted that he was constantly asked, "What's Red really like?" His response, he told me, was to say, "He's a bastard".
"That's funny," I said, "I say the same thing about you." He was making a joke by being ironic and I was making a joke by telling the truth. Mine was funnier.
Cynicism is just an unpleasant way of telling the truth and it has had an unnecessarily bad press. Cynicism is enshrined in all our institutions. The church employs a devil's advocate to explain to the Pope, in his nice words, why some youth leader is not worthy of sainthood. They don't need it so much nowadays because they can rely on journalists to do the job for them.
I work at the ABC, among journalists, and cynic is not a pejorative, it's a job description. Journalists collect hearsay and constantly disbelieve it until the truth becomes inescapable. The public broadcaster even has doubts about what to doubt. It is even cynical about what to be cynical about.
A commercial environment has the single, uncynical motive of wealth, the mindless purity of a crusade. The most successful business partnerships, however, tend to involve duos in which one partner is a danger to himself and others and the cynical off-sider who knows that they're a step away from a debtor's prison.
The law is often touted as the most cynical profession of all. A lawyer may fall into the sea but the sharks will leave him alone out of professional courtesy. These guys will charge you to take either side of an argument. Do they believe in anything? And yet, if you were ever so slightly guilty, would you be happy to hire a bargain-basement barrister? Would it be fairer to give the other side a sporting chance?
Our essentially bipartisan parliament mimics the courtroom and each side is positively required to disbelieve the other while the minor parties peck around the fringes like children wishing mummy and daddy would stop arguing.
Philosophy is riddled by doubt. Rene Descartes would seem to have dispelled all doubts about human existence, but it is important to remember his last moments.
He was sitting alone in a restaurant having just finished a coq au vin with a side order of vin, when he was approached by the waiter who asked: "Would you care to see the dessert menu, Sir?"
After a moment's contemplation, Descartes replied "I think not", and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
That's got nothing to do with anything but I needed to get that joke out of my system.
In the end it is only science that is truly comfortable with cynicism. If someone bails you up in the street to brag that they have invented cold fusion, you would know how to respond. In the great tradition of all those guys who made tradition what it is today, you would say, "Bull mate. Prove it". This could never be described as cynicism because this is the scientific method - I'll believe it if you can do it again.
There is, however, one role where cynicism does not apply - the job of being a patient. There are very few patients who can live with doubt. That's the job of the medical insurers - who feed on it.
Have you ever met anyone without doubt? They are really scary. They are often self-medicating with products that have yet to reach the trial stage of their development.
A balanced human being lives with his doubts. He has an idea, argues against it and comes to a conclusion. Thesis: Antithesis: Synthesis.
I have gained a reputation as a cynic over the years and I am happy to share with you what I know.

The controversy over whether or not the 7-Eleven store at 150 Bolinas Road should be allowed to remain open 24 hours a day is still not completely resolved — even though the Fairfax Town Council in October revoked the store's conditional use permit that allowed it to remain open throughout the night.
7-Eleven and Rajiv Uppal, the franchisee who operates that store, were back before the Fairfax Planning Commission on Thursday night requesting permission to operate the store 24 hours a day on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays only.
The town's planning staff recommended granting the request. The commission, however, voted 5-0 to reject it.
The council took the action at the request of Misty Moreno and her husband, Peter Moreno, who live adjacent to the store at 9 Park Road. The Morenos said light and noise from the store were interfering with their sleep, and they worried that the store's new hours would depress the resale value of their property.
The applicants have 10 days to appeal the decision.

ICM Marketing Group & Royal Elite Timeshare Scam
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, April 09, 2014POSTED: Wednesday, April 09, 2014
ICM Marketing Group contacted me with all the right answers. They said my Royal Elite timeshare would be easy to sell and it would be sold 30-60 days, but no way it would last over 90 days. James made sure I would be able to answer my phone for all the offers. I would have to be able to say yeah or nah on the offers. It's been over 3 months and I have not received one offer nor have I heard from James to discuss any issues. This company is a joke and I warn everyone to stay clear. They got $750 out of me and I am sure they will try to get more out of you

Planet Fitness - Austin, TXSlaughter Lane Austin, Texas United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I have been trying to cancel my membership with Planet Fitness since May 2010. I contacted the gym by phone and told them I no longer live in the area. I was informed I needed to send a certified letter requesting the cancellation.
I paid $12 to send the letter. At that time, I was contacted by the manager that she received my letter. She informed me of what I had to pay, including buyout fees and annual dues. I told her to draft it from my account and wanted to close it immediately.
I was informed that I would still be charged May's monthly fee along with the other fees, but it would be cancelled. I assumed the manager took care of everything.
Unfortunately, for the past 2 months, money has continued to be drafted from my account. I have attempted to notify the manager 3-4 times by email giving her ample opportunity to respond.
In the past week, I have called the gym 3 times to speak with the manager and each time I am told she is too busy. I have left messages and she has refused to call me back. Now, I have sent her copies of the emails and bank drafts and asked for a response and still, nothing.
She was more than willing to take plenty of time with us when we were looking to join, but now she can't even spare 5 minutes to clear this up with me. This is absurd and horrible business. I have not been to the gym in 3 months but continue to be charged, even after taking all the appropriate measures per their cancellation policy. This is theft in my eyes!

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
I have uploaded a word document containing my marathon schedule here
If anyone would like to take a look and tell me what they think that would be super. I'm 2 weeks behind due to the snow but I'm feeling pretty good and reasonably quick (for me!) at the moment
I'm aiming for a sub-5 (preferably 4:30).
There are 14 week in this schedule, the total for each week is (roughly)
Hi Pete,
My main thought is that it's a bit light on mileage, and that the only progression you've got is on the weekly long run. The mid-week runs don't progress at all, and the main problem with this is that the long run will make up an increasingly large proportion of your overall mileage, and I think you will find them tougher than necessary. (They'll be tough anyway!) For example, the week of your last 20 mile run, this run accounts for two-thirds of your total mileage for the whole week.
You will be better off gradually increasing the length of some of your shorter runs. I'd recommend keeping the Sunday runs short, keep the pace very easy, treating them as a recovery run. Your Tuesday run I would gradually increase the length to become a mid-week, 'sort-of' long run, building up to 8-10 miles (10 ideally). Apart from increasing your overall mileage and adding to your endurance fitness, it will support your long run immensely. Imagine yourself starting your training for w/c 5th April - by this time, you will be doing 4 mile runs in your sleep, but dreading the 20 mile run because it's so much longer. Best to have got to the stage where 10 miles feels manageable, and having covered this sort of distance twice a week, you will cover the first half of your long run in relative comfort. It will still be a bit of a slog, but then this is the marathon you're training for!
Thursday's run doesn't want to be too hard because you want to have lots of energy for Saturday's long run, but you could add some distance on, say up to 7/8 miles, and this could be a time to practise running a bit faster, either with a slightly stronger finish, or doing a section of the run at target pace, or a bit quicker. Always have an easy pace warm-up and cool-down though.
Finally, your taper could be a bit more aggressive IMO, i.e. drop the mileage to make sure you're well rested for the race. 18 miles 2 weeks out is a bit heavy. (I'm planning 16 miles, and that's coming down from 75 miles, 6x per week training.) Something like 14 miles will be plenty, that'll still be well over 2 hours on your feet.
Hope that helps.
Excellent, excellent response Phil, many thanks
I will re-read what you've said a couple of times and take another look at the milage breakdown. My guide was my original schedule for the last time I ran london and I seem to recall that never took a mid-week run beyond 10k, but I'll certainly have a shuffle around of the various distances!

Giving a news conference may be an odd way to celebrate your 60th birthday, but Josef Ackermann didn't seem to mind.
As he met reporters in Frankfurt, the chief executive of Deutsche Bank looked calm and relaxed. Dr Ackermann had plenty of reasons to celebrate.
Germany's biggest bank has emerged relatively unscathed from the US sub-prime housing crisis.
For all of 2007, Deutsche Bank earned a profit of 6.5bn euros ($9.4bn, £4.8bn), which is up 7% compared with 2006.
Earnings for the fourth quarter, however, fell by 48% compared to the same period one year ago.
Crisis, what crisis?
When I met Dr Ackermann after the news conference, he exuded confidence.
"If you take into account the impact on leveraged loans, we had to write down 2.2bn euros in the third quarter of 2007," he told me.
"But very little had to be added in the fourth quarter - the subprime crisis has up till now, in relative terms, had a very modest effect," he added.
Compared to the losses taken by Citigroup, Merrill Lynch and UBS, Deutsche Bank has dodged the worst of the sub-prime mortgage crash.
So no further write-downs, at least for the time being - and investors will be breathing a big sigh of relief.
"I don't expect more bad news from sub-prime positions that we have, but we do have a challenging situation in leveraged loans," the Swiss-born banker told the BBC.
"We still have commitments which last until the second quarter of 2008. If we can't place some of the leveraged loans on the market, we may have to fund them, and the question is at what price."
But it's clear that 2007 was not an easy year for Deutsche Bank.
The investment banking division, which is the motor of the group's business, posted a 57% decline in pre-tax profit to 447m euros in the final quarter, thanks to a sagging demand for debt products.
And he admitted that "conditions will remain challenging in 2008."
Dodging risk
Dr Ackermann said Deutsche Bank's risk management policies helped it to weather the wild fluctuations in financial markets.
Deutsche Bank said it acted swiftly, reducing its positions in asset-backed securities and collateralised debt obligations.
"We had strong risk management in place. That's one of the reasons why we did better than our peers, but things have become more volatile," Josef Ackermann said.
Following the losses at Societe Generale, Deutsche Bank has launched a review of all its control systems.
Auditors are due to report on their findings in the next few weeks.
"The worst thing in any management position is to be complacent and say that can never happen to us. We are all in a challenging environment and banking is so complex that no-one can say 'never in my bank'," he said.
Dr Ackermann said lessons should be learned from the near-collapse of two other German banks hit by the US sub-prime debacle.
"In the case of one bank they thought the special purpose vehicle with triple A assets and commercial paper funding was a very good way of making money," the chief executive of Deutsche Bank said.
"They forgot that they had an off-balance sheet liability which went several times beyond their capital basis, and I think this was a mistake."
"In the case of the Landesbank, it was more challenging because they have no real clients. They have no business model and in order to generate revenues, they had to some extent to take on more risk," he said.
And why did German banks make such risky investments?
"There were cheap deposits. It was difficult to generate revenue, you were very eager to get triple A, or double A assets with more yields than just money market yields, that's why they engaged in these transactions," Josef Ackermann explained.
"Too greedy also, maybe with the good intention of producing money for their owners, but I would not be so critical."
Future acquisitions
Dr Ackermann is relatively optimistic, saying that he did not think the US economy would fall into recession after the dramatic intervention by the Federal Reserve in cutting interest rates, and the swift action of the US Congress in passing a stimulus package.
And he said that Germany would still grow by 1.5% this year, while emerging market countries were still buoyant.
Stressing the resilience of Deutsche Bank, Dr Ackermann said it would be interested in future acquisitions, possibly buying the German retail bank, Postbank.
That is the largest retail bank in Germany, and there is likely to be a fierce battle with rivals such as Commerzbank for the prize.
As he headed off to meet investors, Josef Ackermann was still looking to the future..

text: The debate over gun control legislation in Maine is now in full swing. Public hearings began Monday on more then two dozen gun control bills.People from all over Maine began lining up early Monday morning, waiting to have their voices heard on one of the the most polarizing topics in America.Members of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee began listening to public input on proposals ranging from background checks for gun buyers to limiting magazine capacity.Supporters of the legislation point to the killings of 20 children and six educators at a school in Newtown, Connecticut and the mass shooting at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado to highlight the need to act now. Dr. Michele Pfannenesteil was born and raised in Newtown and now makes her home in Cumberland. Pfannenesteil said she has friends who were touched by the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary, and wants to do whatever she can to keep gun violence out of Maine. "There are many ways that we can come together," she told reporters. "In the words of Anna Marquez-Greene's mother, 'until we bury our differences, we will continue to bury our children.'"Maine Senate President Justin Alfond's bill bans the possession, transfer or importation of magazines and other feeding devices that carry more than 10 rounds, making it a Class D felony. But Alfond told the committee his proposal would exempt those devices already legally owned by Mainers before the law takes effect. "It will not ban the sale or possession of any firearm in Maine and it will not take away any guns currently in anyone's possession," said Alfond, a Portland Democrat.However, for many of those opposed to gun control legislation, Alfond's words were of little comfort. They see his bill, and all others related to gun control, as a first step toward taking away guns. "If you took a constitutional oath, the second amendment is very clear. 'Shall not be infringed', said Blaine Richardson of Belfast, who told the committee that guns and high capacity magazines aren't the problem. "We can put our firearms out on the porch, we can lay them on the lawn, we can put them anywhere you want. I haven't seen one of them get up on its own and harm anyone," Richardson said. "The real question here isn't high capacity magazines, it isn't military, scary looking weapons, assault weapons or deer rifles. The fact of the matter is we have a human problem here."Much of the day's testimony was filled with references to Newtown, but opponents are quick to point out the last time a person in Maine was killed with an assault rifle was 1937. It's now up to lawmakers to decide how far they want to go when it comes to tightening Maine's gun control laws.


text: With Aroldis Chapman reportedly signing with the Reds, after the signing is made official by the Reds, I'll be conducting a poll asking where Chapman should rank in the Redszone top 40. If say, he lands at #1, then we'll just move everybody down a spot. Yonder Alonso was originally voted #1 but he would slide down to #2 if Redszone thinks Chapman belongs in the #1 spot. I know for a fact that I'll be voting for Chapman at #1.

Lamar Smith: Immigration's taskmaster
Today he chairs the House Judiciary Committee, which has custody of the immigration issue. When he was first elected, his Texas district - then 42,000 square miles, five times larger than Massachusetts - included 400 miles of the border with Mexico. His district has meandered north and now is 150 miles from the border. It includes portions of San Antonio and Austin. But Smith still looks south, toward the flow of illegal immigration, which he considers a uniquely comprehensive problem, affecting schools, health care, employment and the culture.
Some people say such policies will put Hispanic votes beyond the reach of Republicans. Smith serenely disagrees.
He believes, on the basis of quotes he is pleased to share, that many on the left see amnesty for illegal immigrants as a way to build a permanent Democratic majority. He, however, is confident that Republicans can compete for Hispanic votes while - indeed, by - insisting that everyone "play by the rules."

David "Kidd" Kraddick, the popular Irving-based radio personality, has died in New Orleans while attending a charity event, according to a statement from his nationally syndicated show. He was 53.
"Kidd passed away today in New Orleans at a golf tournament organized to raise money for his beloved Kidd's Kids charity," it said.
"He died doing what he loved, and his final day was spent selflessly focused on those special children that meant the world to him," the statement went on.
"All of us with YEA Networks and the Kidd Kraddick in the Morning crew are heartbroken over the loss of our dear friend and leader. Kidd devoted his life to making people smile every morning, and for 21 years his foundation has been dedicated to bringing joy to thousands of chronically and terminally ill children.
"We ask that you respect the privacy of his family and his colleagues. At the appropriate time, we will release more information about the cause of death."
An internal memo from Clear Channel, a communications corporation that had business links with Mr. Kraddick, said he died of an aneurysm. The cause of death could not be independently confirmed.
Mr. Kraddick, who was divorced, is survived by a daughter. Caroline. He had made his mark as the No. 1 morning personality in DFW for years before finding a national audience with a syndicated show.
KISS afternoon personality Billy the Kidd went on the air with the news late Saturday night.
"We're absolutely heartbroken over the loss of our dear friend," the DJ said. "Not just a friend, a dear leader. He devoted his entire life to making people smile every morning. For 21 years, his foundation has been dedicated to bringing joy to thousands of chronically and terminally ill children. He changed their lives."
Social media carried hundreds of condolence messages.
"Almost impossible to absorb," said Jody Dean, who aired in direct competition with Kidd Kraddick in the Morning on KLUV/98.7 FM. Dean changed his main Facebook photo to a picture of Kraddick. "Prayers and warmest thoughts to the family, friends, listeners and co-workers of Kidd Kraddick."
Mr. Kraddick's show was the top-rated radio show in Dallas-Fort Worth. He entered the market in 1984 with a late-night down on KEGL-FM (The Eagle) and had been with KISS since the station launched in 1993. Although the show went into syndication in 2001 and now airs on more than 70 markets, he remained a Dallas-Fort Worth radio icon. He is a member of the Texas Radio Hall of Fame.
Mr. Kraddick had become known for his charity work, creating Kidd's Kids, which raised funds to send planeloads of children with chronic illnesses or who were recovering from accidents to Disney World. Three years ago his Kraddick Foundation added The Glamour Squad, which did makeovers for hospitalized teenage girls.
A native of Napoleon, Ohio, who was raised in Florida, Mr. Kraddick landed his first few gigs at stations in Tampa, Fla., Fresno, Calif., Salt Lake City and Los Angeles, where he did some emceeing at comedy clubs in L.A., introducing the likes of Sam Kinison and Paul Reiser before they became stars. His nickname came from a producer at a station where the teenager was the youngest DJ.
His first job in North Texas was the evening shift at KEGL/97.1 FM "The Eagle" when it was a Top 40 station.
"A lot of people don't remember it now, but he really was a sensation back when the nighttime DJs were hosting what sounded like an online party," KSCS/96.3 FM's Mark "Hawkeye" Louis recalled in 2011. "He just really set the tone at night, and that really established him in this market."
In 1992, the Eagle dropped its Top 40 format, played Hotel California nearly 700 times straight and resurfaced as a hard-rock station. Mr. Kraddick found himself off the air for eight months before landing the morning gig at KISS, then a fledgling Top 40 station.
"I was under contract with the Eagle for another two years," Mr. Kraddick told the Star-Telegram in 2011. "A really good contract that paid me a lot of money. And KISS didn't have any money. And I wanted that job so bad that I told the Eagle to tear up that contract. I basically took a two-thirds pay cut. Instead of sitting at home and getting paid, I decided to go work and make one-third of what I would make sitting at home. It's the best decision I ever made."
At a time when radio's reach was fading, Mr. Kraddick built an empire.
"Going up against Kidd is like going up against the Yankees," KLUV/98.7 FM's Jody Dean said in November 2011. "That lineup, that tradition, that consistency — he is the big dog in the market, and he's earned it. … I think it's that he has that thing that you can't teach, that basic likability that comes through on the air, and people can sense it."
In 2001, Mr. Kraddick took his show into syndication. Although it has aired on KISS-FM since 1993, it has been independent of the station since 2001, with its own studio in Las Colinas in Irving while the rest of KISS-FM airs out of the Clear Channel studios off the Dallas North Tollway near the Galleria. Because the show is national, he says, it has some natural advantages.
"I always said that I didn't want to be a 45-year-old DJ, and I zoomed past that," he said two years ago.
"I still love doing it," Mr. Kraddick told the paper. "But the audience will tell me when it's time. I may tell them before they tell me. That's the hope. You want to leave when you still have some shred of value. I've been lucky because I've been compensated pretty well, and I could go away at any moment."
Eerily, Mr. Kraddick and his crew did a bit Monday about how they would handle his death.
"Have you ever thought about those last moments of your life?" he asked them. "Nobody wants a long, lingering illness; nobody wants just that; but it would be nice if you could have a day or two where you know it's coming."
Mr. Kraddick then spent several minutes saying goodbye to each member of his on-air staff.
"When I die, you have permission to take a bunch of creepy pictures of my body," he joked. "I want to thank all of you guys for being at my deathbed today. I'm going to miss you so much."

Let's face it, food is one of the best aspects of almost any vacation. And what better way to discover local foods than taking a cooking class? It's a little more original than a bus tour! You learn something new, meet people and jump straight into the local food culture. Plus, you get new recipes to bring home.
I thought the idea sounded like so much fun I invited my fellow Montreal insiders to learn how to cook with me at La Guilde Culinaire, a great new cooking school and boutique.
While this culinary arts school offers all kinds of different cooking classes – from hors-d'oeuvres to Thai cuisine to frozen desserts – I'm willing to bet that visitors would be most interested in traditional Quebec dishes. You'll learn to prepare traditional dishes like tourtière (meat pie), pea soup, poutine and pork loin laced with maple syrup.
As you can see in the video, classes are meant to be fun and the staff is really professional. Our chef, Nabil, proved himself patient and informative, without ever being condescending, which we really appreciated. Eating is easy. Cooking, on the other hand, just looks easy! But we had a great time cooking, eating and drinking together.
You can register for Quebec cooking classes by reserving through Visites de Montréal . For all other classes, you can contact the Guilde Culinaire directly. Group bookings are also an option. Classes last about 3.5 hours and cost $125 (includes two glasses of wine).

If I wanted to keep using my Brushy Mtn hivetop feeders with a set of new TBH's next year, could I adapt the dimensions so that the feeders sat down on top of the "marimba" ?
Having never seen a TBH other than the photos posted on the Net, I am assuming the bars all touch each other. So how would you rig it so that bees could get up into the feeders without leaving the interior spaces?
Where I live now we have very long cool, and frequently rainy springs. I have either had Italians (2004, 1997-99) or Buckfast crosses that our state Ag Dept promoted (2001-3). Both varieties didn't seem to fly in the rain, so a rainy, rainy spring left me with too few bees to capitalize on the best honeyflow of our region, locust -- which is maxing out at Mothers Day. Since I have been feeding with the hivetop units in the late winter and spring, the build-up has gone a lot better.
Do any TBHers feed?

Blind Aboriginal singer Gurrumul is singing as the sun sets out by Mt Taranaki. In a striking tenor, he sets out his journey from picking guitar and learning the local songs of Elcho Island in Australia's northern territory to performing on stages in New York, LA and London.
The acclaimed singer, who never learned braille and is said to be acutely shy, has become one of the brightest lights of Aboriginal culture in his two-album career. His hour-long set is closed with the touchingly simple biography of I Was Born Blind from his album Gurrumul. "I was born blind and I don't know why. God knows why, because he loves me so."
The performance is a perfect start to the Womad Festival. It has been running in New Plymouth since 2003, bringing together hundreds of world musicians from eclectic backgrounds to perform amongst the trees, lakes and lights of Pukekura Park. The festival is defined by diversity. A strange collection of teenagers, baby boomers, aging hippies, young professionals and enthusiastic locals are here to see 40 groups from 20 countries perform. Flags designed by the visual artist Angus Watt fly on tall bamboo poles woven between shops and stages.
They are reminder that Womad is a world of its own.
The food alone could set this festival apart. A short tour of its global food village will reveal a selection of tastes as varying as the its musical line-up. Stalls selling Hare Krishna vegetarian, Terakihi wraps and Jamaican stew sit alongside those offering French, Hungarian, Malaysian and Indian food. We stopped for a smoked salmon, cheese and garlic-filled crepe before heading off to The Master Drummers of Burundi at the Brooklands Bowl mainstage.
These former royal drummers of Burundi have been touring around the world since the 1960s. They play 12-hand carved drums in perfect time, jumping and gyrating in a semi-circle as a series of dancers swirl in between them. The songs, dispersed with cheering and shouting, run for upwards of 20 minutes. There is something strangely hypnotic about watching unbroken drumming for so long. After a while, a man in front of us gets up and asks the people around him: "Do you think half an hour of drumming is enough for us?" Despite the impressive skill on display, the answer was yes.
The words "whimsy" or "whimsical" appear multiple times in the biography of 16-piece Japanese orchestra Pascals. Their music, which blends Japanese folk tunes with waltzes, Western ballads and pop, is meant to tap into our inner child. Usually that means lyrics about love and a heavy musical emphasis on ukulele. In this case it meant a large man running across the stage beating rudimentary percussion, his naked upper body clearly visible through a clear plastic poncho. He is soon joined by a flamboyant chair jumping cowpoke, who dives off stage before returning dressed as a bug, torches pinned to both sides of his head.
All this is unflappably accompanied by musicians playing strings, recorders, percussion, toy piano and trumpet. At one stage a man with a steel grinder appears on stage, sending up sparks in time with the beat of a song. At another, a pair of squeaky toys are used to keep the beat. The only somber moment in this riotous set is a call to remember the victims of the Japanese earthquake and tsunami. Then it closes it style, with the large percussionist removing the plastic wrapping covering his upper body and banging his chest in time with the closing song. A highlight of the festival so far.

Also, I've seen TB spacers, which claim to add more power on TurnerMotorsport.com.... any ideas? Would it be worth getting? They claim an extra 10hp.
TB isn't bad to replace as long as you have a decent socket set with extensions and some patience. Just keep removing hoses starting from the airbox back. There's a very real probability that a new TB will make the same noise since it's the harmonics of the shape, hence why BMW made ribbed soft rubber hoses and pointed all airbox intake points forward and used thick, softish plastics with air between layers.
There's a very real chance you will hear this noise no matter what. Enjoy the car for what it is and try to stop thinking about it. Once you know what to listen for, you hear it in almost every E46.

wikiHow to Prepare a Chuflay
The chuflay is a typical Bolivian drink, enjoyed by many for the distinctive flavor of the grapes and of the drink. If you would like to share this drink with your friends, here are the steps.
1Place two ice cubes in a tall glass, such as a Collins glass.
2Add a jigger of Singani to the glass. Then add lemon soda (Sprite, 7-Up, etc.) or ginger ale until the glass is three quarters full. The proportion is about one part Singani to three parts soda.
3Place a lemon slice in each glass.
4Add a little touch of lemon juice (optional).
