I'm doing my first marathon later this year.
I'm quite interested in getting a more bespoke training plan as I want to run a competitive time and I've seen Bupa do a run check which gives you various information such as clear running plan, various stretching and stability exercises and shoe and injury advice.
Currently I was looking at taking an 18week plan from the Advanced Marathoning book.
So, I was just wondering if anyone had any Pre-Marathon Assesements they would recommend around London? And what peoples general take on them is.
Have you been running for long? My impression from your post was that you are about to start running, but I might be getting the wrong end of the stick.
I wouldn't follow the Advanced marathoning plans if I was a beginner (i.e. running less than a year), or didn't have a few Half-Marathons under my belt. If you've ran a couple of half-marathons, I can't see what the BUPA test would tell you that you don't already know?
Cheers. no ive been running for a while. I did a half marathon last year in 1hr 22minutes. But thats the only one i've done.
Training for that was ok, struggled to stick to a plan, I tended just to do 8-11k runs and did 1 10mile a week before my race.
Thereofore, I had just been considering if it was worth a programme more specific for me than a general one from a book.
1'22" is a great time for your half, and properly trained you could be on for a good time. I'm not sure what you class as a competitive time though - it's all relative.
The Advanced Marathoning book is an excellent read, and even if you do not use their plans, it provides a lot of info to get you through a marathon campaign. Last year was my 1st year of running - I used the 'knowledge' part of the book during my first marathon, and an approximation of one of their plans in my second (I tailored it a bit). I found it the best book out there
I can't imagine BUPA giving you a bespoke plan, more likely it will be a standard target based plan that they may adjust pacing based on the tests they perform. What sort of info are you wanting from the assessment, VO2 / Lactate threshold info or more generalised info? Personally I would save the money until I need it in case of needs for physio further down the line, or perhaps get a detailed assessment of gait/biomechanics as I know I have some weaknesses to address.
Ah right, it makes a bit more sense. I'll admit to some bias as I know a feel people who took up a "deal" to get a health check at a reduced price through work, and it was useless. However, I've not done the BUPA one, it may be a lot better and at least sounds geared for a specific reason compared to the general "wellness" one that my colleagues undertook.
I've also used the P&D schedule to prepare for VLM on Sunday and I'm very happy with it. The book has definitely improved my running and I now understand the reasons behind the sessions, and why easing up at the end of a tempo is not a good idea etc. Personally I haven't broken any PBs in training, but a lot of other people that have been following it have smashed their PBs (one guy just knocked a whopping half-hour of his marathon PB at yesterday's Brighton).
I'd see it as using a generic plan devised by one of the leading marathon coaches that has worked sucessfully for a lot of runners, against a tailored plan from a BUPA employee who may or may not run, who is using a generic plan with some customisation based on a series of tests.
As I said, I'm biased, especially as the book is probably less than 10% of the cost of the assessment
Didn't the Asics 26.2 people have an in-depth running fitness assessment? I'm not sure if that was Bupa or not, but if you go to the Spring Marathon section and look towards the earlier part of some of their training threads I'm sure at least one of them did an in-depth review of the process. That might help you decide.
Aha! Here it is!
Thanks for the feedback. I think I'll avoid the assesment and safe the money. I was probably just after some more information to help me improve my training.
Good luck sunday Stutyr, which marathon plan have you been following? and do you have a target time?
**Just to add thoughts and prayers with everyone involved in the Boston Marathon.
Thanks RobC86, I'm on the sub-55 plan and I'm aiming for 3:15. Hopefully Lit doesn't mind me saying, but she's also following the P&D upto-75 plan and should easily go under 3:15. There's been an active thread of people doing spring marathons following the P&D plans, and there's quite a few with similar HM times to you that are going under-3:00 with most of these following the upto-75 plan, but some following the sub-55 plans. Whilst there's no guarantees in marathon running, the P&D plan seems to have got everyone into their best condition for the event, and there are some very experienced runners in the group.

Dear Statalisters,
According to stata manual the command -stcox- estimates the following model:
h(t) = h0(t) exp(b1x1 +... + bkxk)
where h(t) is the hazard to survival.
Can I infer from this specification that bk in its original form
(nohr) measures the percent change of the hazard to survive with
respect to xk?

Just heard today, that an auction sale in Manitoba had some pretty elevated prices. 400 hives for $260, 1000 supers for $61 each. Someone isn't short of bees. I also hear that Beemaid can't keep anything in stock, and don't know when they will get hive equipment in stock.
Are these prices justifiable at >$2 honey price?

Wayne Rooney was so irrepressible that he insisted on paving the way for Hull City's goal in the few moments he took off from winning the match for Manchester United. The net contribution from the striker hoisted his club to within two points of the Premier League leaders, Chelsea. This, all the same, did not have the feel of an irresistible charge for glory.
The English scene no longer features that sort of streamlined excellence. Perhaps we should not lament the dip in standards too much if interest in the struggle for the title is on the rise. Hull will have little sense of an increasing competitiveness since they sit in one of the relegation places and have prised a mere two points out of the last five fixtures.
They will have to take the familiar and often brief encouragement of recognising that a leading team was subjected to discomfort. United, in truth, are no longer accomplished enough to saunter to victory. The squad without the departed Cristiano Ronaldo appreciates that sweeping wins will be less common, especially when they have to leave Old Trafford.
Hull conducted themselves as if they might inflict a sixth defeat on United from a league programme that has merely reached the halfway mark. Perhaps there was delusion in such a notion since the home side's means are so clearly limited. It may be that nothing would have prevented United from making off with a win but they could have been in deeper difficulties if Alan Wiley had detected Wes Brown's contact on Richard Garcia inside the penalty area after 33 minutes.
The official was blameless, since it took not just any television replay to expose the offence but one from exactly the right angle. After all the discussion of the way in which the United back four has been razed by injury, imposing fortifications are now rising from the dust.
Rio Ferdinand's back problems continue to sideline him but United looked well served by the rearguard sent out by Ferguson. There might have been exasperation for the manager in other areas, with Ryan Giggs seeming jaded and Dimitar Berbatov annoyingly minimalist despite his late goal, but he should still have been gladdened by the cumulative impact. While this, by the standard of days gone by, is a scuffling United it is still well capable of putting itself to the fore in a Premier League that lacks an outstanding force.
On the other hand, prospects would be radically altered for the worse if Rooney were to be ruled out for a noteworthy period. He dominated this game even when, by paving the way for Hull's equaliser, he would have preferred not to do so. When he was overshadowed by a team-mate's set-up work he still took the minor role of applying a simple finish to send United into a 1-0 lead. Ronaldo himself would have been proud of Darren Fletcher's delivery from the right in first-half stoppage-time that bounced towards the six‑yard line. Giggs was a useful distraction at the near post before Rooney knocked home that cross.
Having put United in front, the ebullient attacker was then at fault for the penalty with which a bold Hull levelled. Rooney aimed a loose and senseless pass back into his penalty area and put Craig Fagan in possession. The striker lifted a high cross and the visitors' right-back Rafael da Silva barged Jozy Altidore from behind. Fagan converted the 60th-minute kick with confidence and force.
If Rooney was engaged in some sort of struggle with his unruly alter ego, he prevailed over that anarchic aspect of himself. There was a vigorous reaction to that equaliser. Giggs was to the fore as United burst down the right and Rooney's low, driven cross into the middle was so treacherous that Andy Dawson could not avoid knocking the ball into his own net. The pugnacity then ebbed out of Hull. That was wholly understandable and the intent shown until then by Phil Brown's team had been admirable. Berbatov added a further United goal after Rooney had provided him with an elementary finish.
This was an encouraging occasion for Ferguson. The date of Ferdinand's return is unknown but the defence worked well today. A pairing of Wes Brown and Nemanja Vidic was particularly trenchant against opponents who acquitted themselves with conviction. Tomasz Kuszczak may not have been in constant jeopardy but the goalkeeper still looked like an acceptable choice for a job that has turned into an issue for conjecture. He made an important stop from a Seya Olofinjana drive when the match was still goalless.
Hull should have no trouble in finding other reasons for encouragement. Without the exceptional Rooney, this would have been a tight contest. Brown evidently has maintained morale in adversity. The single worry will be that the vigour of the side was a reaction to the fame of the visitors. The matches that will really decide their fate are sure to lack all trace of glamour.

Have never handled an HK, but, I own 2 CZ's and highly recommend them. Matter of fact, after my wife gets over my buying the AR :buttkick: the SP-01 is my next purchase. :smt023
Sweet! Dollar for dollar I know CZ is a tough one to beat. But given that this may be my only purchase for a long time I want to do it right. If the CZ impresses just as much as the HK then the price alone will be worth it.
No experience with the HK...But I own 2 CZ's an SP01 Tactical and a compact 75 PCR D..They are both so accurate and reliable. I use my SP01 for most of my competition shootings (bowling pind, metal plates) and neve let me down.
I own a CZ P-01,and I will say,it's pretty awesome ! Accurate,smooth,reliable,and all at a great price ! Hard to beat....

When a man is fucking the girls vagina in a weird and obscene way. In the man's left hand is an 1856 antique pistol with a chrome barrel, and a ten gallon hat on his head. The man then proceeds to pulverize the woman's asshole, until smoke begins to flow out of it. He then cools it off by throwing a 7-11 slurpee over it, sucks out her women juice with the straw.
Golly, i gave my bitch a western wanker last night, and her ass hole was smokeing so much i roasted a marshmallow over it.

About Me
Hello, I'm Morag and I'm 19 years old. I'm from the never-boring country named Israel. I'm currently doing my military service(as every citizen who's 18-22 has to serve in the military) as a teacher-counselor for elementary school kids.
After I'm done with my military service(in about 2 years) I'll be going to study in university in order to become an English teacher. As part of my service I live in another city and therefore I don't really have time to be active, though I usually log in through my phone.
While I don't teach, I'm a dancer, singer and author(though I write to my computer most of the time). I'm really interested in languages and I'd like to learn as many as possible in the future. Music has always been a part of my life, and I can't survive a day without it.
On my free time, I usually listen to music, dance around and learn dances or choreograph dances myself, learn songs in different languages and practice my vocals, watch films and write anything that goes on my mind.
Besides U-KISS, I really like CNBLUE, B1A4, 2NE1, B2ST, SHINee, EXO-K&EXO-M, miss A, SNSD and so many more artists. Other artists I like that aren't K-Pop are Paramore, Mae, P!nk, Zebrahead and The Rocket Summer.
Feel free to talk to me, I promise I won't bite or roar!

Home > National News > Article
The Novotel St Kilda will become Melbourne's first smoke-free major international hotel when it bans smoking in all its rooms and indoor public areas from June 1.
The hotel, on The Esplanade, has decided on the ban after consultation with guests and two years after introducing a smoke-free environment in its restaurant and indoor bar.
The hotel is the only one of 25 hotels in the chain in Australia and New Zealand to ban smoking completely.
Manager Llewellyn Wyeth said Novotel St Kilda guests overwhelmingly backed the move.
"We've had no negative feedback," he said.
"We've had people who smoke take the non-smokers' side of the argument.
"The majority of people who smoke don't want to smoke in their hotel room, they'll go outside."
Mr Wyeth said that six months ago, the hotel had reduced the number of rooms where people could smoke to just 16 on one floor.
"It costs us a fair bit to maintain a smoking room," he said. "You have to eradicate the smell from the carpet and furniture."
Quit Victoria executive director Todd Harper applauded the decision, but said government legislation was needed to make all hotels smoke-free.
"It's a very positive step and one we very warmly welcome," he said.
"The frustrating thing is it takes so long, and so few hotels are introducing voluntary bans.
"It highlights the need for comprehensive smoking bans for the hotel industry. Smoking bans are supported by the majority of the population."
Australian Hotels Association Victorian general manager Paddy O'Sullivan said he knew of no other major international hotel in Melbourne that prohibited smoking in all rooms and indoor areas.
"It is up to the individual hotel to determine their own procedures and practices for putting in place bans," he said.
Mr O'Sullivan said Victorian laws that prohibited smoking in restaurants, dining areas and gaming rooms were adequate and did not need to be extended.
"The hotel industry has been promoting outdoor areas (for smoking) and hotels have been putting in place extensive air-extraction equipment to address environmental smoke build-up," he said.
Ben Hart, spokesman for state Health Minister Bronwyn Pike, said he hoped the hotel's decision would encourage other venues to ban smoking completely.
"We want to congratulate them for taking this move and hopefully it will be the first of many (hotels)," he said.
"This is a really positive step in terms of the push for more smoke-free environments in Victoria."
Mr Hart said the Government did not have plans to introduce laws further restricting smoking in hotels.

This Q&A was excerpted from Dear Frank…Answers to 100 of Your Golf Equipment Questions
Dear Frank,
All golfers have their own way of adjusting to the force and direction of the wind when playing a shot. On TV a player may miss a green by a large distance and the announcer will say something about how the breeze just came up.
Has anyone ever done an in depth scientific study about the effect that wind speed has on a golf ball? For instance: Has anyone ever determined the difference in yards between 2 identical 7 irons, one hit with no wind and the second hit into a 20 mph wind.
I realize there are many, many variables – but I've never even heard anybody mention an approximation.
They say, "about a one club breeze". . . there's got to be more science than that? God, we went to the moon!
Really like your column. Thanks for your time – Jim
Because of the lack of wind on the moon, there was no need to study the effect of the wind when Alan Shepard hit his golf shot using an iron head that snapped into the end of an extension pole used to collect moon dust samples. Soon after he donated this club to the USGA, he and I were huddled under an umbrella having been caught in a rain storm at a US Open, when he asked me if this club conformed to the Rules of Golf. My answer was, "The equipment rules do not apply on the moon."
With today's sophisticated trajectory simulation programs, it is relatively easy to understand the effect of wind from any direction. As rule of thumb, a head wind will hurt you a little more than a tail wind will help.
For guidance purposes, taking a 250 yard drive as an example; a 2 mph tail wind will help you gain about 2 yards whereas the same speed head wind will hurt by about 2 ½ yards.
When you increase the wind to 10 mph the tail wind will help increase the distance (all else being equal) by about 9 yards but the 10 mph headwind will hurt by 13 yards.
The trick for a golfer is first to get a good reading on the wind direction and the speed. This is not easy as the surface wind where he tosses up some blades of grass is not necessarily the same as the wind speed or direction 50 to 100 feet up off the surface that the ball sees.
Wind turbulence causing eddies are real and are hard to read or take into account when planning for a short iron shot. There might be a head wind when you launch the ball but when the ball reaches its peak 3 to 5 seconds later, it may experience a tailwind condition.
I think that the 17th at the TPC and 12th at Augusta are made additionally difficult just because of turbulence in the wind and quirky wind gusts.
Jim, the real problem is not that aerodynamicists are unable to calculate the effects of wind but rather we golfers find it difficult to determine the wind speed and direction correctly. It is generally a good idea to keep an eye on the treetops while you are playing or the flag under the blimp if it is floating low around your foursome. Only if you are out in the open will tossing some grass help give you a general idea of wind direction and speed where you are. I am glad you are enjoying the column.

An osteopath facing more than 20 sex charges has told a jury he required all his female patients to be naked or wearing just underwear regardless of the treatment they were receiving - despite experts saying that was unnecessary.
Richard James Davis, 53, from Katikati told a jury at the High Court at Wellington today that he could treat his patients if they were clothed, but it was not as good as "skin on skin".
He has been charged with 11 counts of unlawful sexual connection and 13 counts of indecent assault in relation to the treatment of 10 women at his Gisborne practice.
Davis, who is giving evidence in his defence, told the jury of seven women and five men all treatment techniques he used were clinically necessary.
Under cross-examination by Crown lawyer Steve Manning said he asked his patients to disrobe "unless they were uncomfortable with that".
Two Crown osteopath experts, Caroline Stone and Nicolas Mariette last week told the court osteopathy could be done with clients wearing clothing.
"You can do it better skin on skin," Davis said today.
Mr Manning accused Davis of asking his female patients to be naked or near naked "because you enjoy it".
"Absolutely not true," Davis replied.
Davis also disagreed with Mr Mariette that osteopaths should never touch a woman client's breasts.
"That's a debatable point," he said.
"I would argue it's a therapeutic technique."
Davis has been accused of inappropriately touching some of his clients' breasts and genitalia, and had one patient bend naked over a treatment bed during treatment.
He has denied any inappropriate behaviour and the women must be either lying or confused.
"I think people can make mistakes and be confused about things."
He said he believed he had the women's consent for all the treatment he performed.
"I'm not as sure now as I was then that the ladies understood what I was doing, but at the time I thought I had fully informed consent."
Davis admitted touching one patient's breasts, but it was for the legitimate purpose of lymphatic drainage (breast massage) - a preventative technique for people who might be at risk of breast cancer.
He said he taught her the technique because her sister had suffered breast cancer.
Ms Stone earlier said it was "clinically absurd" and "ridiculous" for Davis to use the technique on the client based on her sister's illness.
The trial before Justice David Collins continues.

Kennametal Chairman, President and CEO Carlos Cardoso spoke Monday at The National Press Club in Washington DC about the need for greater emphasis on manufacturing careers, as well as the need for manufacturers to take a more active role in educating young people about opportunities in manufacturing and the nature of manufacturing work today.
The manufacturing sector has been steadily growing and is leading the economic recovery, he noted. However, he said as many as 600,000 manufacturing jobs are going unfilled, generally for lack of applicants with appropriate skills. A recent study found 67 percent of manufacturers surveyed reporting a shortage of available, qualified employees.
As part of his presentation, Mr. Cardoso introduced representatives from Greater Latrobe High School, a partner in Kennametal's "Young Engineers Program." This 15-week program at the company's Latrobe, Pennsylvania headquarters involves interested students in manufacturing-related classroom discussions, projects and mentoring, all overseen by Kennametal staff members across various disciplines.

I am looking to increase the performance of my 1985 fuel injected 2.8 v6. Problem is, I have not found a lot considering the age and the fact that it is a v6. I can't afford throwing a v8 in there and im looking for something like maybe new gears, cai, etc. I put a new performance exhaust system on and have rebuilt the engine and transmission. Please give any advice on what i can do, where i can purchase the mods, or any other suggestions to trick out this car. Thanks so much, I am looking forward to hearing from you.

There has been a lot of talk about Roman Abramovich's gift for instability bringing Chelsea success, but the fact is that only once since the days of Jose Mourinho has the English title been wrested from Manchester's grip: by Carlo Ancelotti, who was then let go.
True, Chelsea have won the European title since they allowed the Mourinho regime to disintegrate, but so has Mourinho. He has also won the national titles of Italy and Spain. And, lest we stray on to the aesthetic issues supposed to be close to the Russian owner's heart, has also shown that he can provide beautiful football if convinced — as at Real Madrid — that it is part of his obligation.
Had Chelsea been able to keep him . . . well, suffice it to say that Sir Alex Ferguson, whom Mourinho all too briefly knocked off his perch, must bless the day when it became clear the difficulties between Mourinho and Abramovich were terminal. The United manager celebrated by completing a hat-trick of titles and Manchester has been English football's city to beat ever since.
The events of the past month at Chelsea confirm the title is to stay within the M60. Gone from Stamford Bridge — and this began to happen as soon as Pep Guardiola was reliably linked with Roberto di Matteo's job — is the smooth and productive football that set too hot a pace for, among others, Arsenal early in the season.
Boring, predictable old United are top and only a point behind come Manchester City, whose problems appear overcome by the simple expedient of retaining faith in their manager — suddenly, we discover the team can change shape at Roberto Mancini's behest after all — and both must be deeply appreciative of the inconsistencies of their rivals. If they give any thought to London, that is, while pondering an Etihad derby on Sunday week.

Leading Minds Executive Coaching
Empowering clients to become great leaders and reach their career goals by managing stress,
transforming their mindset, and making critical behavior changes for success
Step Up to Leadership:
(617) 932-1548 • Executive Coaching in Boston, MA –Belmont, MA –New York City –Worldwide
"I have worked with thousands of top tier leadership and executive-level executive coaches over the past 15 years. David is in the top 1% of the coaches with whom I have worked. He is masterful in his approach…"view full quote
All successful people eventually hit walls in their careers and personal lives. The skills and traits that once brought them success no longer serve them well under new circumstances. Regardless of whether they are being promoted or have suffered a major professional setback. they need to adapt quickly and pivot into an entirely new role for which they may be woefully unprepared. That new role might involve staying with the same employer, or it might require a major transition to an entirely different line of work.
Across all business sectors and areas of professional practice, workers confront significant transitions. When transitioning into leadership roles, they cannot rely on their old ways of conducting themselves. They must transform their mindset and behavior patterns in order to succeed in the new role. Technical skills and know-how are no longer sufficient. They must also learn to collaborate with C-suite executives, develop novel business opportunities, and inspire their colleagues and direct reports with a well-articulated vision of success.
The skills that leaders must enhance include (but are not limited to) strategic thinking, time management, priority setting, and interpersonal communication. They need to deepen the social and emotional intelligence that are so essential in executive leadership roles. They need to pay closer attention to nonverbal communication as manifested in their body language, tone of voice, and facial expression. They need to improve their stress management skills, so that they don't come across to others as frustrated, irritable, or dismissive.
No matter what the industry, leadership development challenges are common across all business and practice settings. There are universal principles of leadership that can be flexibly adapted to different situations. In my work with Leading Minds, I've helped high-level clients confronting complex leadership challenges in a wide diversity of businesses and professions, including the following: biotech, Pharma, healthcare, engineering, software, law, financial services, private equity, manufacturing, food services, family businesses, higher education, and nonprofits.
The Executive Coaching page describes additional details about how I work with clients to assess their leadership challenges, set clear goals for success, and implement practical strategies to reach those goals in a reasonable time frame. The Career Coaching page describes how I help business leaders and successful professionals to make a smart and fulfilling transition into a new job or career. The Philosophical Counseling page describes how I help certain clients to use philosophical self-reflection to enhance the quality of their work and personal lives.
There are also pages devoted to frequently asked questions about coaching, the training program I run for mental health professionals who wish to become professional coaches, my blog and radio shows devoted to a wide range of coaching topics, and my academic/professional background as a psychiatrist and executive coach. Executives may also be interested in Strategy of Mind, a training program I co-founded, that focuses on programs to optimize leadership and employee performance by enhancing critical reasoning, emotional intelligence, and mindfulness skills.Finally, there is a page that describes where I am based in the Boston area, as well as how to contact me to discuss the possibility of launching a coaching engagement with Leading Minds.
In addition to Dr. Brendel, there are three associates working at Leading Minds Executive Coaching: Emmie Stamell, Allison Abrams, LCSW, and Stefan Kalt, PhD. They add depth, knowledge, and bring additional services. Emmie Stamell and Allison Abrams are mindfulness experts who offers knowledge of effective holistic practices. Stefan Kalt, PhD is a certified executive coach who specializes in working with educators and researchers.
Working With Dr. Brendel
I am based in Boston and serve clients from the local area, throughout the United States, and around the world. Many clients come to see me in person, and I am able to travel to see them as needed. I am also available to work with executive coaching and philosophical counseling clients by telephone and video conferencing. Contact me at (617) 932-1548 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Client Hometowns
I work with clients from around the world. Clients visit from Europe, the Middle East and Asia, as well different states in the United States. In New England, I have worked with people from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Maine.

Are they 100% complete? Can u get a materials list 4 them? What type of steel for all the parts, reciever,springs, etc? What thickness and density?
As I said yesterday over the next few days I will upload other various prints. Some are complete such as the sten mk 2 and the expedient 9mm mp, and others even include complete jig measurements etc such as the mac 11 9 mm. I would like it if anyone could tell me how to convert the expedient 9mm to .22 calibre I would like advice on how to convert it safely what I would need to do, such as changing the magazine measurements and breach measurements. Has anyone built this before, Does anyone have a complete .22 calibre machine pistol blueprint, including everything from scratch with a parts and materials list if possible. I hope these blueprints are helpful and if anyone has the rest of the blueprints for the recievers posted could they please send them to me. Thanks chris181
coils - is the library still giving problems?
"To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em."
Ted Nugent - speaking at the NRA convention April 17, 2005
Still not working for me.
I can't look at any attatchments in the library either.

You Can't Trump a Night at the Taj
Trump Taj Mahal • Atlantic City, NJ
Escape Kit
- A One-Night Stay for Two, Sundays through Thursdays, in a Taj Tower Room ($124)
- Or, a Two-Night Stay for Two, Fridays and Saturdays, in a Taj Tower Room ($389)
- $30 Food Credit for Any Taj Mahal-Operated Food Outlet
- Health Club Admission for Two
The Destination
Atlantic City is known for its hotels and casinos, but you haven't really experienced "America's Favorite Playground" until you've tangoed with the sultan of slots: the Trump Taj Mahal. Like anything Trump, the Taj is prime real estate, located right on the boardwalk. But with its marble entryways, brilliant crystal chandeliers, modern mood-lit lounges, state-of-the-art casinos, luxurious spa, headlining live entertainment, and five-star restaurants, this symbol of AC is a destination in and of itself.
The Digs
As you would expect from Trump property, your guest room is dripping with luxury. Sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean are perfect for watching sunsets. Inside, warm, contemporary décor accents plush queen- or king-size Simmons Health Smart beds. In-room coffee makers and refrigerators add a welcomed level of convenience, and marble-clad bathrooms, flat-screen TVs, and in-room digital entertainment round out your experience.
The Diversions
If you're lucky, you might hit the pristine buttery-sand beaches outside, but chances are, you'll find all you need among the Taj Mahal's five-star restaurants, live entertainment, lounges, and nightclubs all in one place. Decadence is a norm from morning 'til night starting with a breakfast at Sultan's Feast Buffet or American Plate Café. Try your luck at the Taj's 24-hour gaming space. Then, sip or dance away your cares at the posh Ego Bar & Lounge. For those who seek shopping, the hotel features a host of high-end options including Caché and Marshall Rouse. Fitness gurus will enjoy the state-of-the-art health club, and those in need of pampering will find the host of body treatments available at the spa simply heavenly.
"I enjoyed every bit of my getaway at the Taj. I loved our room and fell in love with the marble... I'm definitely trying to return back."-- LivingSocial Member
"Giant glass chandeliers hang above the white stone floored lobby, over the carpeted walkways and the escalators, and throughout the casinos. One could imagine this is how Donald insists on lighting his home."-- Read Fodor's Review of Trump Taj Mahal

Town Square
RNC asks who stands with Cory Booker?
Original post made by Mac Mac Donald, Green Acres, on May 22, 2012
Who else stands with Cory on the good that venture capital can do with investments? Most of us.
Who stands with Cory on the questionable practices of vulture capital as practiced by many of Bain Capital's investments?
Let's take a look.... hey, there's these guys: Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, etc.
- "[Bain] loots companies, leave behind broken families, broken towns." —Newt Gingrich
- "It's the ultimate insult when Mitt Romney comes to South Carolina and tells you he feels your pain—because he caused it. [...] There is something inherently wrong when getting rich off failure and sticking it to someone else is how you do your business. I happen to think that is indefensible." —Rick Perry
- "Governor Romney has claimed to have created over 100,000 jobs at Bain, and people are wanting to know: is there proof of that claim? And was it U.S. jobs created for United States citizens? [...] And that's fair, that's not negative campaigning." —Sarah Palin
- "Governor Romney enjoys firing people." —Jon Huntsman
- "While Mitt Romney was at Bain Capital, almost one out of every four companies they were involved with went bankrupt or went out of business." —John Brabender, Rick Santorum campaign manager

Governor Rick Perry said the best three things -
1. "They're vultures that sitting out there on the tree limb waiting for the company to get sick and then they swoop in, they eat the carcass. They leave with that and they leave the skeleton" — 1/10/12
2. "The idea that you've got private equity companies that come in and take companies apart so they can make profits and have people lose their jobs, that's not what the Republican Party's about." — 1/12/12
3. Uhhhhh, ummmm, I forgot the third one....

Poor Mitt.
They thought they had Bain covered with the mis-stated Booker ads they ran.
Now it looks like Mitt has been running from Bain for days. He sat down today with Halperin in a televised interview, when asked about Bain, Mitt pivoted so fast Halperin had to re-ask the question and Mitt ran away again.
Without Bain, what can Mitt run on?
The Utah Olympics have the bailout lobbyists problems.
Can't run on his failed single term as a governor.
Is it really going to be $500 million in attack ads on Obama with no positive message about Romney?
I really thought Huntsman was a better candidate.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

I thought I should keep the Capri blog and the Ischia blog seperate, as our impressions of each island were so different. So today you get another short blog about Capri... Just to get it out of the way upfront, Capri was busy, touristy, full of Americans and fucking expensive! It was almost the complete opposite of Ischia... At every turn you felt like you were being ripped off... Even on public transport, which we spent fortune on (our transport costs alone for the day were 95 euros!).
Capri felt like a large theme park... There didn't seem to be anyone going about their usual daily routine and everyone seemed to be either a tourist or servicing the tourists. There were designer stores galor an touts on every corner making you feel harrassed.
It was a pity that the culture and atmosphere were so contrived as, while I believe Ischia is more beautiful, Capri was naturally very dramatic, full of huge cliffs, grottos and huge rocks sticking out of the sea. As mentioned earlier we went to the Blue Grotto, which, despite the cost, was simply amazing! As was the cliff edge road from Capri to Annacapri... However, after we had done that and looked around Capri we spent the rest of the afternoon simply waiting for the ferry to take us back to civilised Ischia and trying to avoid being fleeced of anymore money...

Love your travel blogs JB! Travel safe and have fun!
Such recklessness!...
Loading Map
So when Gisela rings to ask if I want to fill a cancellation and join a group of our friends on a cruise down the Rhine in May, I am very interested. When she says the travel agent needs a firm booking by the end of the week, I am quietly agitated.
But today was the funeral for one of the ladies in my glass class who died unexpectedly.
My friend Laura then tells me as we shop that she is administering the estate for a 63 year old lady who had had Alzheimer's for TEN years
So spontaneous and seemingly undisciplined...
And having now tasted the pleasures of premium economy, I know I don't want to be a sardine any more. Certainly around eight hours to Asia is acceptable, but not 26 hours to Europe. I am happy then to find that Cathay Pacific's premium fares for my dates are still as reasonably priced as last year's "specials" - and half the cost of Qantas's. No-one else can deliver the combination of premium, price and direct flights so I happily pay for a comfy seat that I have already road tested!
What's more, checking seat allocations shows that at this early stage, there are single window seats available in the coveted front row on all four legs... WINNER!
From here on is also very familiar. I easily find the train connections from Frankfurt airport to Amsterdam for a mere €49 (direct MEL-AMS flights with premium don't exist) then head to booking.com to find my first bed in Amsterdam
It's all starting to seem as routine as online banking or grocery shopping with Safeway!
In celebration of our adventure, we organise a 'Bon Voyage' party with the inevitable excesses of delicious German cakes! One week on, Rohan and l are still working through the corn chips and hummus and as usual, there are so many little jobs to complete.
Especially pressing this time is the need for presentable clothes for a fortnight's worth of respectable touring and dining... I am unlikely to get away with just 13kg, a feat l was mighty proud of last time. This boat apparently expects standards above jeans and t-shirts at dinner. What's more, old t-shirts for nightwear when sharing sleeping quarters will just not do!
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
I look forward to reading yet another of your travel blogs! This one will be of even more interest as I will be experiencing much of what you are writing about and photographing. I have not picked up the gauntlet for "rival blogs" but I am most happy for your blog readers to pop over to my blog at: gn-europe-blog.blogspot.com. (A gmail email address is needed to access this blog).
Have a pleasant and safe trip.
You are right Life is short. Make the most of it as you have already shown you are with a great first entry.

Parties' big spend continues
Web links
THE Coalition was yesterday fighting to retain the moral high ground as a party of fiscal conservatives after Kevin Rudd's campaign launch delivered a relatively modest $2.3 billion of new spending decisions, compared to John Howard's $9.4 billion campaign launch.
A tally by The Age shows the Coalition's gross spending including old and new money and tax cuts is now running at a massive $64.1 billion since the campaign began. That is an average of more than $2 billion of new spending a day throughout the campaign.
Labor has also been spending freely, despite warnings about the dangers for inflation and interest rates, although its plans have been slightly more modest. So far, it has made campaign spending announcements worth $53.1 billion, 17 per cent less than the Coalition.
Leaving aside more than $30 billion worth of tax cuts promised by both sides, infrastructure spending the vast bulk of it road funding aimed at key marginal electorates has been the largest area of campaign spending.
Most of the money has been drawn from the Auslink2 land transport pot of money that was set aside in the May budget, meaning it will not affect the expected surpluses over the next four years.
Labor has promised at least $7.2 billion of infrastructure spending (also drawn from Auslink) less than half the $14.8 billion promised by the Coalition.
Despite Mr Rudd's widely touted "education revolution", the Coalition's education spending is now ahead of Labor's. Coalition education announcements tally to about $7 billion with more than $6 billion of that amount earmarked to provide tax rebates to cover children's education expenses.
Labor has made about $4.2 billion worth of education announcements, including its plans to provide computers to students, boost university scholarships and lift skilled training.
Spending on families and pensioners has also been a major feature of the campaign so far, with both sides offering about $5 billion.
The Prime Minister accused Mr Rudd of deceitfully focusing only on the launch announcements rather than the entirety of Labor's campaign spending.
He said that using the same comparison, Coalition commitments were about $11.7 billion over four years, slightly less than Labor's.
Shadow treasurer Wayne Swan said the spending outlined in the Labor campaign launch meant less pressure on inflation and interest rates.
"Mr Howard's approach is risky," Mr Swan said.
"It puts families' mortgages on the line."

Very true!
The Devil recently walked up to Hitler. "Hey, Adolph," he said, "Put down that shovel and come with me. I want to show you what is happening in America today. It'll make you proud.
"The Americans are federalizing every law and taking power away from the States just like you did in Germany.
"You burned the Reichstagg and used that incident to suspend the German Constitution. President Obama is trying to do the same thing because of the Newtown shootings.
"And, our method of destroying people we didn't like by gassing and burning? Look at Waco!
"Today the American Government hates Christians as much as you did , and, as you can tell by its expanding anti-Israel policy, it is turning against the Jewish people.
"And, your method of controlling children via 'Youth Corps,' well, with 'Midnight Basketball,' etc., America is trying that, too.
"Your 1938 anti-gun law has been written virtually verbatim into American law as the Gun Control Act of 1968.
"Your policy of taking private property without trial was very common. This government calls it 'asset seizure' or 'property forfeiture,' but it is done the same way you did!
"My boy in the White House has a private army of 'Black Shirts.'You called yours the 'Shutzstaffeln (SS). My guy in America has the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (the BATFE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
"And, remember how you controlled the press and movie industry? That same policy is in operation in America today.
"NO, Adolph, you lost the war, but many of your policies are still alive and well in America today. I wanted you to see that you never lived in vain. Now, get back to your shovel!"
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. - Ayn Rand
That is too true to be forgotten!

Tag Archives: Clapham developments
Boris bikes coming to areas of Clapham
Some of you may have noticed Boris Bike (aka Barclay's bikes) docking stations cropping up along the Wandsworth Road and Clapham Junction parts of the Clapham area. So far there are no signs actually within Clapham town or the High Street, however.
This is part of the South West expansion, which you can read about on the TFL website. The expansion (see map below) mostly covers Hammersmith, Fulham and Wandsworth, but scrapes into the Clapham area. We're unclear yet whether the bikes will come into Clapham town and around the common, or if Wandsworth Road is the limit.
It seems a shame that TFL / Barclays/ Boris etc haven't decided to urgently rush the bike scheme along the extremely heavily overcrowded Northern Line to relieve the pressure. Fingers crossed.
We'll let you know more as we know it. Bike on Clappers!
Clapham Old Town regeneration project
You may have noticed that something is afoot in Clapham Old Town. Lambeth Council has gone ahead with plans to completely regenerate this area of Clapham with a multi-million pound budget (£2.8 million). It's one of the most ambitious regeneration schemes Clapham has seen in recent years and, following the Venn Street improvements, Love Clapham has to highly commend the council for such brilliant investment.
You can see an artist's impression of what the area will look like in the picture above and more images on the architect Marks Barfield's website. Work has already begun, which you can see happening right now if you pop down, with the aim to be finished in the New Year (around March time).
This will be a fantastic addition to the area and another reason for people to visit and live in Clapham. The main changes are:
- Increasing and improving the paved areas significantly to create a large pedestrian area, or, as the architect is calling it an "urban piazza" (massive LOLs right?!) – which will provide a space for people to enjoy in the summer and will make the restaurants and shops more accessible
- Moving the bus station stop to the other side, to sit within Clapham Common (we know this was controversial for the residents looking onto this but hopefully the improvements will prove worthwhile in the long run)
- Changing the main road to run in both directions, rather than the previous one-way system
- Introducing greenery with many more trees
You can find out more on the Lambeth Council website.
New Clapham Leisure Centre Open
Clapham has been without a swimming pool for over a year but the new leisure centre (which looks something like the above drawing) is open. And dagnamit, it's only got a swimming pool with a moving floor to change its depth! This probably entitles Clappers to say we have a 'state of the art' leisure centre. It also has a large gym area and a sports hall above it. Fabulous. For those of you going "whaaa? A new leisure centre? In Clapham?" you can find it on Clapham Manor Street next to the equally healthy KFC. Have you been yet, what do you think? Tell everyone below…
Clapham One development is go!
The future face of the Clapham High Street area, named Clapham One, is finally taking shape after a long delay caused by funding problems during the recession. But, it's a new year and Lambeth Council has now secured the construction of a new library, mini shopping centre and housing unit on the High Street and an entirely new, renovated leisure centre to replace the (now closed) existing one. The scheme is exciting, but has been met with some criticism. We asked our Clapper followers on Twitter what they thought. Continue reading
Going, going…
Mary Seacole House's number seems to be up. It's the old Council building on Clapham High Street, and to be honest, the dated building was doomed the day the plans for the new Clapham library and shopping complex were approved to be built on the site. Lambeth Council leader Steve Reed expressed his desire to see the building removed as soon as possible last year, and with scaffolding being erected his wish looks set to come true! Love Clapham can't wait. If you love pictures of scaffolding, see below (I promise these pics will get more exciting as the thing is torn down!) Continue reading

Welcome to The Monday Menu! I continue to feel uninspired and short on time. I hate when putting together a menu feels like a chore. I think the season is getting to me. I can't wait to get out to the farmer's market and pick up some colorful produce. I feel like everything I've been turning out of my kitchen has been brown. I need to see some inspiring colors or maybe head to the library and pick up a few cookbooks to get the gears turning. Here's what I was able to come up with this week:
Monday – Balsamic Sundried Tomato Chicken Sandwich with Parmesan rosemary potatoes
Tuesday – Pesto Chicken Pizza with fresh fruit
Wednesday – Garlic Cream Noodles
Thursday – Tostada Bar
Friday – Lo Mein
What's on your menu this week?

On my NC 42-44 skin this wears as a very subtle hint of color. It is soft brown with a rosy touch to it. Because the color is so light, I wear it on those days when you need a quick lift from a little color on this face. Unfortunately this wears off quickly.

I got this after MakeupbyTiffany mentioned it in a video where she boasted colors like Nars Madly and this one to have just enough subtle color to warm up the complexion in the winter months. After Candy Coral was an epic fail (ZERO pigmentation) I hesitated with this one, but it turned out to be somewhat worthwhile. Its a matte, peachy nude blusher with a satin finish. I don't care for the 'bouncy' effect as my ELF small stipple touches it not my fingers. Pigmentation can again be better but atleast 3 layers/swipes gets good payoff on my light NC20 skin; but the sheerness of this blush is why its not getting more lippies from me. The multiple layering for my liking effect ends up 'moving' my foundation underneath. Its just too much effort to complete the look for a basic color. I wont repurhcase.

I absolutely love all the Dream Bouncy Blushes! They are perfect for my dry skin, go on super creamy and last for hours. The color selection is fabulous as well. Coffee cake, Rose Petal and Candy Coral are my favorites. I find the packaging to be quite cute too. And I love how tiny they are, but they last for ages when applied with my stippling brush. Loveeee.

First off the color payoff isnt amazing but is good if you want a natural look to the face. I like the bouncy part but after using it for a while the bouncy part popped and it was too messy to use. The price is average for drugstore I brought mine for 8 bucks. I would probably try the other colors if they werent as expensive. If you want a drugstore cream blush nyx makes great ones and I tend to reach for those more often.

I love it so much, it's easy to work with and super blend able. This shade in particular would show up very well on darker skin tones, it shows up as a shimmer but in lighter skin it will come as light peachy nude LOVE IT!

I was not expecting the texture of this to be so much fun! Also, I love the color on my NC35 skin! Unfortunately, it was completely gone two hours after applying. And I hadn't even ventured outside of my house, so it wasn't because it was hot or humid out. Twas quite a letdown.

My cool fair skin can easily look pink or ruddy so I was surprised when this blush left me looking RADIANT instead of a flushed mess! this product has helped me get over my fear of blush. It's just a perfect and classic color - in my opinion it just has a vintage look about it. The only downside is the weird consistency that can make it awkward to apply. It's bizarre and squishy, but I have just been using my fingers to apply it and it seems to be working fine. It's just odd but personally I can overlook the awkward application for the beautiful color it gives me.

The color coffee cake is perfect for my fair skinned ladies out there. I was using smashboxes blush rush in I believe masterpiece and had loved the color but wanted a cream blush. This is a great replacement and when i'm going for the natural look it looks amazing and very similar to the smashbox though that one is a powder. I'm going to rebuy this if i ever run out! I have been using it everyday for the last 3 months and theres barely a dent in it. Oh and make sure you just apply 1 to 2 dots if your fair.

This is a tricky blush to use. I like it, don't get me wrong, but Coffee cake is simply a very tricky color- it is somewhere in the middle of rose and bronze. It is beautiful when you swatch it and it is initially a great color. For me, the blush reacts to different foundations I use. It is pretty good with most matte, sheer liquid foundations, but when I used a mineral foundation or a full-coverage foundation, Coffee Cake turned into an odd brown color. Also, it turns into a different color with darker foundations. In cold weather, this blush refuses to work, but in the summer, it basically becomes a thing of putty. It does have great staying power and doesn't rub off. It's hard to apply, which isn't great; most of the time, you simply smudge your existing foundation. "Dream Bouncy" blush is a weird idea; I wouldn't repurchase.

See my review for the Dream Bouncy Blush (all colors) for my general view on these. I want to specifically describe the color for this particular review. One of my favorites of the Bouncy blushes; Coffee Cake is a gorgeous nude that isn't to bronze or brown and makes you glow. It looks fabulous with most eye looks as well!

I'm pretty sure most people expected it anyways. Still hoping for some compensation for Feral Druids to be thrown in sometime soon.
If the patch is ready to drop, it will drop....but I'm not holding my breath with the stuff still being worked on in the PTR.
Their Tol Barad "balance" changes suck. That is all.
Nice catch!
I just want it to drop already so I can sell all the common artifacts I've been hoarding.
I just wish it would hurry up.... sitting on my Alchemy mats waiting for the numbers to drop :)
Eh. it's a middle patch. surprised it was on the test as long as it was.
I really hope they don't go live with most of these changes. A few seem too extreme from a PvP perspective. Such as:
*cry*I for one will spend tuesday evening in Orgrimmar, dropping my precious over and over again, mourning its nerf into uselessness.
I thought Alchemists was going to get a new caster trinket but it's not listed in the notes. Anyone know about this?
I hope they come soon, tired of getting on FB, checking WoWHead page, to see what the next patch notes will be, and then reading all the QQ going (and happy, they are not effecting Afflocks much *smile*).Bring on the patch!
Am I missing something with the feral druid nerfs? Everyone crying that they get nerfed too bad.. but there's not that bad nerfs are there?

Organizers of Brandeis Springfest: Include an Electronic Dance Music Artist in this year's lineup
In the past couple years there's been a strong movement in the mainstream towards electronic dance music (EDM). EDM has transitioned from an underground scene into a nationwide phenomenon. The music of prominent EDM artists, like David Guetta and Avicii have become the new sound of American pop music. Correspondingly so, the DJs of most Brandeis events have largely incorporated EDM into their routines to cater to the growing popularity of the genre among the student body.
If you are a Brandeis student and you want an EDM artist included in the lineup of this year's Springfest, SIGN this petition.

NAME OF GOD: Jehovah El Elyon
Verse: Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have sworn to the Lord (Jehovah) God (El) Most High (Elyon), possessor of heaven and earth. - Genesis 14:22
Meaning: The LORD, the Most High God.
Prayer: Adoration
Jehovah El Elyon, your name means the LORD, most high God. I praise you for your position. I honor you as you are seated above all else. I lift up your name and bless who you are. You are the possessor of heaven and earth. You are the friend of humanity. You are the highest being in existence. For all of this and more, I lift you up as king. May your kingdom rule be made manifest on earth as you demonstrate your power and might above all.

Rather than viewing the cross as an historical event that will take us to heaven, we ought to view it as a current event containing everything we need to bring heaven to bear on earth.
In The Power of the Cross, Tony Evans carefully and pastorally applies the cross of Christ to life today. In three parts, he considers:
• What makes Christ unique; how Old Testament prophecy and typology looked ahead to Him; and how His humiliation, death and resurrection sets Him apart as Lord
• What was accomplished on the cross for us, how it is to be the centerpiece of our lives, and how it's a source of authority for us
• What is the power of the cross and the stability it provides, deliverance it offers, the power of its ongoing remembrance, and more
The cross is the hinge of history. How much more, then, is it the hinge of your life? It gained more for you than you may realize; do not make the grave error of overlooking it. As a thank you for your gift of any amount, we'll get this brand new book, The Power of the Cross, out to you right away.

lthough long concidered just a legend, the Chikong have finally made their presence known. Legends have always talked of a race of large ape-men who live in the fog-bourne islands somewhere west of the Feralas jungles. Until recently, it was just legend. The Chikong, divided into various tribes, were content to hone their fighting and magical skills warring amongst themselves. However, the threat of the Burning Legion has given them the impetus to resolve their internal conflicts. Gathered together under the control of the great warchief, King Godatho, they have established a port at Auberdine and joined the Alliance in a fight to save all of Azeroth.
