This bike rocks for the money!! So much fun and many upgrade possibilities to make it even better.

My new Red Beast Cruiser is all that I expected. It's maneuverable and quick for it's 49 pounds. Don't inflate the tires to more than about 20 psi. Mine popped off the wheel at about 28 psi. These tires are obviously not high end and the lip of the wheel is small, but some compromises are necessary to keep the overall weight and expense down. I've only got about 20 miles on my bike right now but it is a fun ride and I'm looking forward to implementing some simple improvements that will make it even more of a pleasure. And by the way, as many people have said before, expect comments wherever you go. Within the first hour of riding a lakeside trail in the Catskills, four people either stopped me or cruised by with a curious comment about those big wheels.
I am a senior and was concerned about just one speed, both wife and i were surprised how easy and nice this big bike is to peddle and ride.
I am looking forward on next trip to coast to take the fat tire beast our on the beaches along damp wet sand sections.
The wife got me a huge special order springed seat like the old days look, and i really like this bike, i have bad knees and wanted a no impact way to work my legs.
Where we live it is the only one around and is fun because it gets the double takes from people.
You want a well made fat tire bike at a fantastic price, order yours from Wal Mart
I can't ride this bike for further than a block without a thumbs up and smiles. Don't expect to climb Mount Everest, just take it easy and enjoy the fun of a 4.5 inch tire. Ape hangers add to the fun!
Saw this bike in a local dealer as they were assembling it for a client and thought how cool. Went home and ordered one right away. It arrived in 2 days. Was easy to assemble and had just a few scratches. In no time I was out riding. This bike is fun to ride. Took it on level trails and in soft dirt. It rode surprising well. Its not for hilly terrain but that's why I have a mountain bike. Ive since gave it a custom paint job and get stopped everywhere I go. You couldn't build one of these for the price. What a great deal. It is a great cruiser.
Bought this bike mainly to ride with my kids around the neighborhood and the park. Great bike for flat ground riding. I changed out the rear cog for a 22 tooth, the stock 18 tooth took a lot of energy to get rolling. Rides smooth and quiet, and great for bigger riders, I'm 6'2" and 270lbs, another reason why I got it to drop some weight. This bike will turn heads and get people asking what it is due to the massive wheels, always positive comments. Glad I purchased this bike, I really enjoy it!
you'll be hearing a lot of that when you own the beast. i got 2 comments before it was even fully assembled. The fat tires, single speed, and foot brakes are the features i needed. - simple and functional. i have conquered a variety of terrain effortlessly. The bike has performed flawlessly. Shipping was fast. Assembly was easy. Riding is FUN.
My Son Love This All Terrain Bike. Make Sure You Have The Tools To Put This Bike Together, Allen Wrench Metric, Socket Wrench or Box & Open end Wrench Metric.
My first impressions is that the tires on this bike are much huge than what i thought it would be. Assembling the bike was pretty easy and fast. Riding this bike is very fun and provides much better traction in snow, sand and mud than a regular bike, but its pretty heavy and gives you a heck of a workout, but overall the mongoose beast is a great bike!
We live out in the country, on gravel roads, this bike makes it so nice to ride on. We have even managed to do some cross countrying and it worked great. We will be buying another one soon, great bike!
The bike and the concept met my expectations, in as much as it is a single speed cruiser. Its the manufacture quality that came up short. The frame had dents under the paint that led me to think that they probably took a beating before painting. The all terrain part came up a little short in soft sand even with the tires at 7psi. The wheels and tires,are awesome. It's probably more bmx considering the stem takes a 7/8 center handlebar. The seat is a royal pain. But, if you like talking to people this thing is a real conversation starter. It's very easy to pedal, unless your in sand. You would think just the opposite once you see the tires. All things considered the bike is fun and that's the bottom line.
With a few minor modifications this bike is a super fun one to ride. The rear gear is an 18 tooth and I had trouble pedaling it especially up hill. I bought a 22 tooth gear off of ebay and had a bike shop put it on along with a new chain and grease everything up. I just turned 30 but feel like I am 12 again when I ride this thing. I'm sure my neighbors think I'm a weirdo because I am always on it. Apparently there is a new fat bike coming out called the Mongoose Dolomite that has gears which will be a huge plus. It would be awesome if the frame was aluminum as well. Get one people!
I have had a blast on this bike so far!! I have had a few high dollar bikes in my day, and I was just looking for something fun to ride with nothing special on it. I just use it to cruise around with my 4 year old. He loves monster trucks and thinks daddy's bike it the coolest thing ever. It is super fun to ride, has HUGE possibilities for upgrades. I have switched the seat out for a more padded seat. Great bike all around for the price, no thrills, just a bunch of fun!!!
The Color green iz sweet.. a different bike for those who like change. Plannning on purchasing another in the future. Good buy for the money. Its been to cold to ride it yet but cant wait.
I always wanted a fat tire bike and this was a good start for me. I'm very tall so I put ape hanger handlebars on and a springer seat. I have rode this bike a lot and the only other thing that I will change is the rear cog.
The price is right for this fat tire bike. Easy set-up.
I made some modifications to the bike.
Swapped out handlebars for beach cruiser handlebars and added a more friendly seat.
I also changed out the back cog from 18 to 22 makes it easier to pedal
Great for what I wanted it. As a Fitness Trainer I use it on trails, grass and mostly sand. The ATV of bikes. I know that there are more expensive and specialized bikes with the same concept out there, but this is a solid, easy to maintain bike and the price is right.
Just recently purchased and built my Black Mongoose Beast it looks like a Matte Black and its a nice bike without having some much detail to it. The wheels are huge at first sight. Will try to update after i ride its been raining but i cant wait. Attached pictures show the bike after pulling out of box and after being built.
Could not review Durability as I've only had the bike for a week........check back later.
Walmart assembled bike for me so did not review Ease to Set Up.
Great product with an awesome price!!!

The chief executive of Heathrow airport announced yesterday that he is to step down later this year. Colin Matthews, who has been chief executive of Europe's busiest airport for six years, said he would remain in post until its new Terminal 2, the Queen's Terminal, opens in June.
"With a strong leadership team, the company continues to raise standards of passenger service, improve efficiency and reduce costs," Mr Matthews said.
Heathrow's chairman, Sir Nigel Rudd, added: "Colin has done a fantastic job… and will remain as chief executive until his successor is in place to ensure a smooth transition."
The operator also said yesterday that it would not appeal a decision by the Civil Aviation Authority regulator to impose a cap on the prices it charges airlines, adding it did not believe other parties would appeal the ruling either. The CAA has ordered Heathrow to set its charges 1.5 per cent below inflation from this month, after ruling that Heathrow has excessive market power.
Mr Matthews will leave Heathrow at full capacity and with a struggle over expansion still ongoing. A government appointed commission, headed by Sir Howard Davies, is examining the case for an additional runway; his final report is due to be delivered by the summer of next year.
Mr Matthews, 57, is a former executive at British Airways and Severn Trent. He joined Heathrow in March 2008, when Terminal 5 opened. He is credited with restoring the airport's reputation and increasing customer satisfaction.Reuse content

Peter Hartley's first half header was enough for Hartlepool as Rovers were defeated 1-0 at Victoria Park.
It was a hard loss for Rovers who created plenty of chances throughout the 90 minutes with Gareth Edds,Terry Gornell and John Welsh all going close.
Caretaker Manager Les Parry named an unchanged team as Paul McLaren recovered from a knock on his hip to take his place in the centre of midfield alongside Gareth Edds and John Welsh. Luke Daniels returned from suspension to take a place on the substitutes' bench.
Terry Gornell had the game's first chance with the striker meeting a Paul McLaren corner at the near post only for his header to be saved by Scott Flinders. Seconds later Edds headed goalwards but his effort was also cleared off the goal line.
At the other end Adam Boyd tried an overhead kick from the edge of the area but the former Luton Town striker put his shot well wide of the target.
Ian Thomas-Moore saw a shot saved by Flinders on seven minutes while David Martin watched as a Hartlepool effort went just over his bar soon after.
A couple of long range efforts from Thomas-Moore failed to hit the target while strong wind and rain didn't help either side during a period that saw both give away possession from promising positions.
Midfielder John Welsh sent a volley just over the bar from 20 yards on 34 minutes and Marlon Broomes blocked a Boyd effort soon after. However, the home side took the lead a couple of minutes before half time. A ball across the area from Ritchie Jones deflected off the head of McLaren to Peter Hartley at the far post and he made no mistake in heading in from close range.
Ian Goodison failed to connect with a Welsh cross on 47 minutes and Craig Curran curled a shot wide a minute later as Rovers began the second half well.
Hartley shot wide when trying to double his side's lead and Rovers had to deal with a couple of corners in quick succession soon after.
Flinders had to turn a Curran cross over the bar on 71 minutes and Chris Shuker and Charlie Barnett were introduced to the action to give Rovers fresh legs. Shuker shot across the face of goal soon after joining the action, while Edds fired at Flinders moments after Kithson Bain had replaced Curran.
At the other end Martin held Richie Humphreys' long range effort and the keeper dealt with a Behan shot after good work from Goodison.
Rovers' task was made harder when Barnett was shown a straight red card by referee Gary Sutton and though chances came in injury time, they were unable to beat the Hartlepool defence.
Hartlepool: Flinders, Austin, Collins, Liddle, Hartley, Brown (McSweeney 78), Jones, Humphreys, Monkhouse, Boyd (Greulich 72), Behan. Substitutes not used: Cook, Haslam, Sweeney, Fredriksen, Bjornsson.
Tranmere: Martin, Logan, Broomes, Goodison, Bakayogo, Edds, Welsh (Barnett 75), McLaren, Curran (Bain 81), Thomas-Moore, Gornell (Shuker 67). Substitutes not used: Daniels, Taylor, Cresswell, Mahon.

A bit more info about how your server is set up would be useful. As it is, it seems most likely that the problem lies either at the nameservers for your .info domain, or alternatively with your internal/ISP's DNS setup (did you test on PCs using different connections?).

Prior to law school, I've always yearned to be different. I never wanted to follow the crowd. I wanted to do my own things, follow my own career path, and just be unique. For some reason, law school was turning me into someone else I didn't like, someone who was getting sucked into the herd mentality.
I've analyzed it a lot and had to pinch myself really hard (figuratively, but maybe I should have done it for real) just to get out of it, and I'm still trying to convince myself sometimes that I need not follow the herd to be successful. When I think about it, this way of thinking really applies itself to everything else, especially personal finance.
Let me explain...
I felt like I was just another sheep in the herd, but I'm now convinced that it's okay and possibly even better to be the dog (in the picture I posted above, it doesn't make sense if you don't look at that picture).
Last semester, everyone in my class section (roughly 80 students) all started at the same place. We learned the same subjects together, tried to keep up with each other, studied together, and just generally just meshed into one big group because we have all of our classes together. Like one big dysfunctional family. When one person would stress out, we'd all stress out. It was (is?) a nightmare.
This semester, we're starting fresh, and I'm realizing that I don't need to compare myself to others. I'm not going to all of the lunchtime meetings and after-school networking events. I'm doing what I believe is right for me, and really - this is what life is all about, being yourself and doing what works for you at the pace you feel most comfortable with. When the semester first started, everyone and their moms signed up and participated in a moot court competition. You get a week to write a brief and then move on to 4 rounds of oral arguments if you are selected. I went back and forth on participating. In the end, I decided not to because the only reason why I wanted to do it was because everyone else was doing it. Not so much a valid reason.
While a lot of people were stressing, losing sleep, missing classes, and avoiding homework, I got so much accomplished that better fit my needs and my career path:
- I was able to meet with my legal writing professor to edit my cover letters and resume and I applied to several summer internships.
- I had a mock interview with the public defender of our County and the tips I received were priceless, and he now remembers me as "the girl who thinks he looks like Rick from The Walking Dead," which he totally did!
- I kept a steady pace of my readings and I was also able to secure 2 volunteering positions for this semester!
- The first volunteering position is something I am SO interested in - relating to landlord/tenant law (is that a thing?) and it gives me the opportunity to practice my oral skills as well as working with translators. I'll be giving 2-hour long presentations at community workshops at local organizations focusing on tenants' rights. It's so me right?
- The other volunteering position is at an organization that helps the underprivileged community with legal services relating to civil rights, domestic violence, immigration issues, etc.
So as I started thinking this way about law school activities, I also applied it to career path and personal finance.
You know what else? I can always do moot court next year. I am happy for those that did moot court because it's something that they can put on their resume and they also gain valuable experience from it as well. It's all about priorities and what you want to do. You don't have to get stuck in the herd and have the mentality...for example, just because everyone else is saving for a down payment, you don't have to too. Just because everyone else is budgeting, you don't have to do it the same way. You don't have to use Mint.com to be on top of your finances (though I think it's a pretty sweet site).
Instead, think of a way to get out of it and to be yourself. I feel like the only way to really succeed and to flourish in whatever you do is to personalize it and tailor it to your personality, to your hobbies, your schedule, and your lifestyle :)
Have you gotten stuck in the herd mentality? In what ways? How did you get out of it?

The holiday season affords us an opportunity to gather with family and friends to celebrate and express gratitude. A gathering in the Town of Duck is the perfect opportunity to enjoy our unique Town. The holiday season is also a time of great opportunity for criminals, and while the crime rate here is very low it is always a good idea to take a few simple steps to keep it that way. While visiting and shopping in Duck please remember to lock your vehicles and never leave valuables in them.
The American Crime Prevention Institute provides the following tips for safely navigating your Holiday shopping:
Crime Prevention Tips While Shopping
- Stay alert to your surroundings and the people around you.
- Shop with a friend; there is safety in numbers.
- Don't buy more than you can safely carry. Plan ahead by taking a friend or ask a store employee to help you carry your purchases to your vehicle.
- Avoid carrying large amounts of cash.
- Pay for purchases with check, credit or debit card.
- If you carry a purse, do not wrap the straps around your arms or shoulders. Carry it by clutching the purse tightly under your arm or wear a fanny pack.
- Do not carry a wallet in a back pocket. It should be in the front pocket of your pants.
- Thieves or robbers often look for "high value" shopping bags with your purchases. When possible, slip bags/purchases in a plain nondescript bag.
- Watch purchases when eating at mall food courts; bags can be easily switched or taken.
- Have your car keys in hand before leaving a store.
- If you do return to your vehicle to unload packages, place them in the trunk.
Crime Prevention Tips in Parking Lots
- If possible, avoid shopping during hours of evening or early morning darkness.
- Park in a high visibility area with good lighting and ample pedestrian traffic.
- Avoid parking next to vehicles with dark tinted windows.
- Prior to arriving at a shopping center or mall, lock all valuables in the trunk of your vehicle.
- Try to walk with others, not alone – there is usually safety in numbers.
- Walk briskly, confidently and directly through the parking lot. Be cautious of people handing out fliers or asking questions in the parking area.
- Watch for people who may be following you. If you sense someone is following you or you feel uncomfortable, return immediately to the store.
- You may want to consider having a chemical agent or loud audible alarm in your possession.
- Don't allow yourself to become distracted by a cell phone call while walking to and from your vehicle.
The Duck Police Department also reminds residents who may be traveling, to lock your residence and to store in a secured location, sporting goods and other valuable outdoor use items when you are away. Also, the Duck Police Department offers a property/house check program to the Town's property owners. As part of the program, the officers make periodic checks of residences that are not occupied during the off-season. The officers look for open windows and doors and other signs of unauthorized entry, as well as looking for other items such as water leaks. If an officer finds anything at a residence, the homeowner or rental company will be contacted so the residence can be secured. Additionally, if it appears that a crime has occurred, the incident will be investigated.
All drivers are reminded to please obey the speed limit and be mindful of pedestrians and never drink and drive.
Have a safe and happy holiday season from the Duck Police and Public Safety Personnel.
For more information, contact 252.261.1112 or email us.

OK, I had a go at making a SMIL of Steven's Introduction : <smil xmlns:qt="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/resources/smilextensions" qt:autoplay="false" qt:time-slider="true" qt:immediate-instantiation="true">  <layout> <root-layout width="700" height="420" background-color="white"/> <region id="logo" left="0" top="0" width="160" height="80"/> <region id="movie" left="0" top="80" width="160" height="120" fit="fill"/> <region id="slide" left="160" top="0" width="540" height="420"/> <region id="title" left="0" top="200" width="160" height="220"/> </layout>   <par>   <seq>      </seq> <video src="http://apache.mirror.positive-internet.com/cocoon/events/gt2003/ videos/00-introduction.avi" region="movie" dur="00:04:26.12"/> </par>  </smil> It works beautifully when the .avi is a local file, but not when it is loaded over the net. I checked this in QT Player (entering the URL) and directly in Safari, and it also completely fails to play, even after having buffered it. No Audio, jerky video. I also tried saving the SMIL as a Composite, fast-start .mov (with external references), but still no go .... So maybe the DivX codec is not so good after all :) OK, so I could re-process the video so it would maybe work, but the whole idea was to re-use the existing files in different containers. regards Jeremy

Picking up rubbish along the street wearing One-Tooth Geta (wooden sandal)
I sometimes work on picking up rubbish as a part of volunteer activity.
"THE SWEEPERS" is a facebook group which I started in December 2012.
Most of members are runners who enjoy running cleaning up their local parks or streets.
Some of the members finish full marathon races carrying a big plastic bag full of rubbish.
Why don't we try something good for our society?
Isn't it nice to do something eco-friendly?

Snowshoe Running
Having fun snowshoe running as a part of winter training.
I easily got hooked on it when I first tried it in 2011.
Today I wore snowshoe for the first time in 4 years.
If you love trail running, why don't you try snowshoe running?
You may feel good running on a soft surface of powdery snow.

Thanks Altra Running for offering Instinct 4.0, a brand-new model, which I am going to wear in the next trek in Europe.

It has already supported Running Across New Zealand(2014-2015) and Western Europe(2016).
KONANSO Villa
I started working at KONANSO Villa the other day, which is a secluded mountain cottage near the peak of Mt. Kongosan(1,125m above sea level).
It's nice to run along the snowy forestry road everyday. I run along the trail about 3km(2miles) one way to the villa from the nearest bus stop.
I guess I'll work until mid-June and will get ready for the next trek PEACE RUN 2017 Running In Europe Part2.

I will donate my hair to JHDAC(Japan Hair Donation & Charity).
New Kids In Town
December 2016 I moved here in Tondabayashi City, Osaka.
The City of Tondabayashi extended a warm welcome to us, me and my companies as soon as we started to live here.
We were introduced on their facebook page.
We are new kids in town and we'll be famous soon here.
Appeared On TV again
I appeared on TV on NHK, Japan's national public broadcasting organization o Friday 13th.
It was a news program called "OHAYO NIPPON(Good Morning, Japan)" and it introduced some special footwear available in Japan.
I was featured as one of the serious One-Tooth Geta(OTG) users.
Wearing 15-centimeter-OTG, I started walking and strolled around Tondabayashi including Jinaimachi, which is one of the national historic preservation districts and heritage sites of Japan.

Former residence of the Tanaka Family(Built in 1892) was seen for a few seconds.
Also I tried jump roping with OTG on. It may be impressive for athletes. I'm sure many runners want to try on OTG.
This OTG is called "SCAPPA" which is as light as 250g, developed especially as a training tool for athletes or runners.

How many more hours of light would you get if you were sitting at the top of Mount Everest compared to someone at the same latitude, sitting at sea level?

We put this to Dominic Ford from the department of physics in Cambridge:
[img float=right]http://www.thenakedscientists.com/HTML/uploads/RTEmagicC_Lohtse_01.jpg.jpg[/img]
- There are a couple of interesting differences in what you would see around sunrise and sunset on top of a tall mountain. First of all, there would be difference in how long the sun would spend above the horizon. You can think about that by imagining that the Earth is a ball and if you're standing on the surface of that ball, it appears like a flat plane. It covers exactly half of everything you can see. Whereas if you move away from that ball up a tall mountain, it starts to recede away from you and appear like a globe in the sky.
Now, the Himalayas arent actually very tall in comparison to the radius of the Earth. Everest is about 9 kilometres high and the earth is 6,000 kilometres in radius. So that means that even at the top of Everest, this ball would only appear about 174 degrees across as compared to 180. So that would make a difference of about 10 minutes in sunrise and sunset times, if you assume that the Earth is a perfect sphere and Everest is the only mountain on the surface of the Earth.
Now in fact, thats not quite right because obviously, Everest is in the middle of the Himalayas, and you'll be familiar with the fact that if theres a tall hill on the horizon, then the Sun will set behind the hill somewhat before published sunrise and sunset times.
- So on the top of Everest, the Sun wouldnt spend that much more time, over the horizon because it would set behind the mountains, but what about the bit in between sunset and total darkness?
- Now, theres a slightly different answer because when we talk about hours of daylight, we tend to be talking about when we perceive it gets light, and when we perceive it gets dark, rather than when the Sun is rising and setting. Thats to do with twilight times and how long the sky appears bright after the Sun has set. In the UK, were quite used to having a lot of twilight and that's to do with the fact that were at a high European latitude and when the Sun sets, it sets at an oblique angle, and it actually spends quite a long time sitting on the horizon as its setting.
Everest of course is close to the equator and at equatorial latitudes, the sun sets more or less vertically downwards. So it sets very quickly, and you don't have much twilight time as the Sun is setting.
Moreover, twilight is caused by the scattering of sunlight off particles in the Earths atmosphere and at the top of Everest, you're above most of the Earths atmosphere. So, you have a lot less light being scattered and twilight will appear a lot darker. So once the sun has set, it will get dark relatively quickly compared to what were used to. So you might find actually, theres slightly less daylight time on top of Everest than you would see certainly here in the UK.

Using Pythagoras's theory, the distance to the horizon can be calculated based on the Earth being a perfect sphere. But the Earth isn't a perfect sphere, so the horizon will differ depending on the curvature at the observers location and the terrain between the observer and the horizon, so calculations to establish the distance to the horizon will only be approximate and based on the horizon at sea level, unless the elevation of the surrounding terrain is known.
At sea level, for the average height individual, the horizon will be at 3 miles (4.8k) approx. At the peak of Mt Everest (29,029ft 8848m) the
sea level
horizon would be 208.8 miles (336.1k). Obviously, the actual horizon will be much closer than this and would be dependant on the direction of the observers view. Of course you need to add another 3 miles to this distance to account for the observers height.
It's worked summat like this:-
H = Horizon
O = Observer
R = Centre of Earth
H to R distance is 3963.2 miles (6378137m)
D to R distance is as above plus height above sea level.
Pythagoras = The area of a square on the hippopotamus is equal to the sunshine of the other two bits of stick (or summat to that effect).
Right, that's my 2 penny worth. Who's going to extrapolate that to hours of sunlight? I need to go lie down in a darkened room now. My brain hurts.

I was going to say just that. I've worked and lived in Yosemite Valley in California and can tell you it gets quite dark long before local sunset outside the valley.
A while back the ISS passed directly overhead where I live. We watched it come over the western horizon and pass overhead then continued on to the East. It was very bright but quickly faded and disappeared about 45 degrees above the eastern horizon.
I was once a STAR!!! Well part of a star at least.

I think is more to do with angles.
From that diagram^
sin (theta) = HR / OR
where theta is the angle HO-OR
And if you think about it, if the sun is within that angle, either side of the observer, then it's night.
So if you were on the equator at midsummer, the sun moves 360 degrees in 24 hours (ignoring the slight orbital elliptical motion). So that's 360/24 degrees per hour = 15 degrees/hour
so you get 2*theta/15 hours of night which is 2*ASIN(HR/OR)/15 hours.
Now HR is the radius of the Earth, 6371km. The height of Everest is 8.840km, so OR is 6371+8.84 = 6379.84 =~ 6380km
Putting it all together I make it that, if Everest was on the equator, it would be about 11.60 hours of darkness per day at the very top. So the Sun is above the horizon about an extra 24 minutes.
Of course, it's not on the equator, but at Everest, midsummer, it should be pretty close.

I am a student at Reykjavik University in Iceland, hoping to one day become a biomedical engineer. I enjoy listen to your show usually while take a long run. I had took a running break and recently started up again which usually means I must endure a couple of weeks of itching. While listen to one of your shows it dawn to me that I should ask you guys to demystify the "runners itch, I have had this condition before moving to Iceland from the Bahamas, so it doesn't have anything to do with the cold. I have tried using different washing detergent, staying hydrated , and using plenty of lotion to keep my skin moisturize. The best diagnosis I received said something like this "There are millions of tiny capillaries and arteries inside our muscles which expand rapidly due to the demand for more blood that is brought on by exercise. When fit, these capillaries remain open allowing maximum blood passage, but when unfit and inactive they tend to collapse, allowing only minimal blood passage (which is sufficient for a sedentary person however). The rapid expansion of these vessels causes adjacent nerves to send impulses back to the brain which are interpreted as an itch. Thats why after a few sessions the sensation tends to go away. Just another indication of increasing fitness levels." is this correct? And is there anyway to relieve runners itch besides having to run through it? I was told allergy pills and vitamin C may help.

RUGBY player Brett Sharman has left Premiership club Northampton after posting
an allegedly racist tweet about Olympic star Mo Farah.
The South African hooker had been under investigation since he wrote on
Twitter ahead of Farah's Olympic 5,000 metres final almost two weeks ago.
Sharman, 25, tweeted: "Good luck Mohammed running for Paki … I mean
Great Britain."
He deleted his tweet shortly after it had been sent, closed his Twitter
account and made a public apology the following day.
Double British Olympic gold medallist Farah, who won both the 5,000 metres and
10,000 metres at London 2012, was born in Somalia and came to live in the
United Kingdom, aged eight.
Northampton rugby director Jim Mallinder said: "It is always a shame when
someone's contract comes to an end in these circumstances.
"Brett has contributed a lot to the squad in his time at Franklin's Gardens,
and we wish him all the best for the future."
In a statement released yesterday, Sharman's club said: "Northampton Saints
treats all such matters seriously.
"The club has a clear policy regarding social media and is following the
procedures set out in that policy."
Sharman said in a statement: "I have enjoyed my time at the Saints. It is a
great club with good people, and I am sure that there will be major success
coming to Franklin's Gardens sooner rather than later.
"The players, management and supporters all deserve that, and I wish them
every success."
Saints say the decision to terminate Sharman's contract was made because of a
knee injury that has sidelined him since January, stating there is "no
immediate prospect" of a return to full fitness.

Chapter Two part oneMature
Chapter Two
The first thing Glenn noticed was that as well as rides there were various tents, but the one most were heading towards had to be the biggest tent he'd ever seen. The bright colours had faded and at the bottom where it was pinned into the ground with metal poles it was stained with mud.
"Follow the crowd?" Glenn suggested once Zoe had paid the entry price for them both. Zoe followed his line of sight and shrugged.
"Don't see any reason not too," she replied. So off they went. Once inside Glenn's nose was immediately assaulted by the smell of grass, alcohol and a few unwashed bodies. Inside were rustic wooden tables and chairs scattered about the place and a bar with counters made of the same wood.
"Don't usually get a decent bar with carnivals," Zoe commented. At the far end of the tent was a platform where he assumed performance of some kind or another took place.
"Can I get you anything?" A male voice asked from behind the counter nearest them. Glenn turned to find its source to be a sandy-haired guy who wore a kid's grin.
"Just sprite for me thanks," Zoe said, then she turned to grab one of the few free tables. Guess that left Glenn to bring the drinks.
"You?" The guy asked as he started the machine pouring into a glass. Glenn wondered why they didn't use plastic cups but then again this wasn't striking him as the usual travelling group.
"Coke, thanks," Glenn replied, checking behind him to find Zoe was still in the same place, her eyes scanning everywhere around her carefully. Glenn knew something had been bothering her since school finished but she didn't seem open to talking yet. She laughed when people asked about a psychic twin bond, but that's because she didn't really feel it, only Glenn could sense when something was wrong for her. Like the dreams, he didn't know what their content were, but he knew when she was having one and woke up.
"There you go," the guys voice dragged him from his thoughts. Glenn nodded his thanks, handed over the money and headed over to Zoe.
"Looks like we're came on time, whatever show they do here is about to start," Zoe said before taking a drink. She obviously hadn't realised how thirsty she was as she then went on to gulp the whole thing. When she replaced the glass her eyes clocked something behind them and a small grin grew.
"The guy from the bar is watching you," Zoe whispered. Glenn snorted and suppressed the urge to turn around and check for himself.
"Maybe he's never seen a guy wear make-up," Glenn replied with a shrug.
"I think if you travelled lots, you'd see a lot of different people," Zoe pointed out, her grin growing bigger and making Glenn roll his eyes.
"Don't you get all petulant, that guy is checking you out," Zoe continued. Thankfully Glenn didn't have to put up with the torture much longer as the lights dimmed and somebody took the stage. The guy wasn't that much taller than Glenn but something about the way he carried himself demanded respect. He couldn't be past his late twenties but his eyes had a spark of wisdom you wouldn't expect.
"Hello and welcome ladies and gentleman, to the last night of our carnival," the man began, his voice deeper than Glenn was expecting from his thinner frame. Glenn hadn't realised it was the last night, maybe that meant the show - whatever it was - would be better than the other nights?
"If any clowns come on that stage I'm leaving," Glenn muttered, causing Zoe to choke on the gulp of sprite she'd just taken.
"That clown did not try to suffocate you at our sixth birthday," Zoe finally replied when her coughing had calmed down. Glenn just chose to stare at the stage in curiosity. The first man didn't introduce himself and instead took a lightened metal rod from another member of the carnival.
"Oh, its one of these dudes, I've always wanted to see this sort of thing in person," Zoe whispered excitedly, watching as the guy did a specified patterns of movements with the torch, before he leant back to place the fire-lit thing down his throat. Glenn chose to turn away from that part.

AASA Statement on Persistent Discourses of Racism, Sexism, Islamophobia, Xenophobia, and Homophobia since the US presidential election.
The Arab American Studies Association is alarmed by the open racism, bigotry, and rising level of hate crimes perpetrated against Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, People of Color now on display in the United States. We oppose characterizations of groups of people as if they were monolithic, and abhor the use of labels such as terrorist, rapist, illegal, deviant, or criminal being applied to any group of people. We similarly oppose language and actions that objectify and disempower women and girls, including for the ways they choose to dress and live their lives. We have spent our careers documenting how such reckless language incites others to violence and war and illustrating how media reproductions of these discourses fuel ignorance and hatred and punish the innocent. Since the recent election we are concerned to see that Arab Americans, Muslim Americans, women, People of Color, the differently abled, and LGBTX communities are forced to conduct their daily lives in a hyper vigilant state. As a community largely of academics, we strongly endorse institutional measures that support students and faculty at risk. We call upon our universities to take active steps to introduce curricula that produce critical knowledges about racial, ethnic, and sexual minorities that challenge the widespread ignorance and intolerance currently thriving among sectors of the US population. We call on AASA members to redouble their efforts to inform and educate persons inside and outside of our institutions, to provide resources and support to people at risk, and to actively resist any forthcoming government policies that would endanger any and all of these communities. We reaffirm that we are not only scholars, but also world citizens who are committed in word and deed to creating a more just world. As such, we stand in solidarity with other organizations and collectives committed to social and racial justice.

MINSK (AFP) – Belarus blocked online stores and news websites Sunday, in an apparent attempt to stop a run on banks and shops as people rushed to secure their savings.
In a statement Sunday, BelaPAN news company, which runs popular independent news websites Belapan.by and Naviny.by, said that the sites were blocked Saturday without any warning.
"Clearly the decision to block the IP addresses could only be taken by the authorities because in Belarus the government has monopoly on providing IPs," it said.
Other websites blocked Sunday were Charter97.by, BelarusPartisan.org, Udf.by and others with an independent news outlook.
The blockage started on December 19, when the government announced that purchases of foreign currency will be taxed 30 per cent and told all exporters to convert half of their foreign revenues into the local currency.
"Looks like the authorities want to turn light panic over the fall of the Belarussian ruble into a real one," Belarus Partisan website wrote, calling the blockages "December insanity."
Internet shopping websites were also blocked en masse. Thirteen online stores were blocked Saturday for raising their prices or showing them in US dollars, deputy trade minister Irina Narkevich said, Interfax reported.
The government announced a moratorium on price increases for consumer goods and ordered domestic producers of appliances to "increase deliveries" and keep prices the same at the risk of their management being sacked.
Belarussians lined up for hours to clear out their bank accounts and swept store shelves to secure their savings, stocking up on foreign-made appliances and housewares.

Hi! My name's Kenna Jones! I really don't like doing these "about me" things because you never really know how to start off, so I guess I'm just going to give you a few facts about me, K? Alright.
1) This is the most important one: I LOVE DRAGONS!!!
2) I don't like how I look; I'm self conscious.
3) I write a lot. If I didn't write then I would never be entertained, and I'd die of boredom.
4) I love to read fantasy with action. It takes you to a new place, an imaginary world. It makes me long for a wand and to be a wizard or for a bow and an arrow to hunt or powers to control the water and be a daughter of Poseidon. That'd be nice. :)
5) I'm crazy, insane, weird, reckless, stupid, and strange.
6) I have blue eye and brown hair with blonde streaks. :)
7) My hair is the only pretty part about me. I sort of wish I had green eyes, too.
8) I'm fat, even if I'm a thirteen year old.
9) One of my best friends is a guy over the internet, and we argue a lot. He has my cell number. :) I was eleven when I gave it to him, and I didn't know it was a bad idea, but I believe him to be the age he says. :/
10) I hate it when people try to comfort me when I'm crying. I just want to cry, alright? Don't try to make it better.
11) I don't mind if you ask me to read one of your stories. I just need you to understand that I may or may not read it, and I don't want to offend you by not reading it.
12) I'm very emotional. I find it hard to stick up for myself, and I really can't be mean to anyone. :(
13) I'm a grammar and spelling Nazi. If I see a mistake someone makes, I tell them to fix it.
14)I love to role play.
15) I'm on the computer a lot.
16) I hate my sisters.
17) I care what people think about me.
18) I love country and pop music, along with a bit of rock.
Click the link^^ I beg of you, click it. Lol.

Stop saying technology is causing social isolation
Love this article that came through my feed this morning – see this early extract: People like to criticize current society. Not necessarily the current society relative to us, but the contemporary society of the time they live in. It's just so cool to romanticize the past even if it makes us feel bad about the present. Past times were always better. And in this age of information and technology, in which the smartphone is Continue Reading →

SOUTH CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Physical Agility Tests (PAT) have been scheduled for anyone interested in applying for Natural Resources Police Officer (NRPO) positions that are open statewide, according to Col. Jerry Jenkins of the Law Enforcement Section of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR).
All candidates for NRPO positions are required to pass a PAT. Applicants should report to the lobby of the South Charleston Community Center at 601 Jefferson Street either Friday, Sept. 30, 2016, at 9 a.m., or Saturday, Oct. 1, 2016, at 9 a.m. Walk-ons will be accepted. Applicants will also be required to take a written exam administered by the West Virginia Division of Personnel at the West Virginia State Police Academy after the PAT at approximately 1 p.m. both days.
Successful applicants after the PAT will be invited to an interview Oct. 5, 6 and 7, 2016. Times and location information will be announced at the PAT.
NRPOs in the WVDNR Law Enforcement Section are responsible for the enforcement of all laws and rules of the state and have full law enforcement authority statewide. Of primary importance is the protection of West Virginia's natural resources to the degree that they are not endangered by unlawful activities.
To be considered for this position, candidates must be willing to relocate; work all shifts and be on call; and understand this is a statewide position, and as such, county of assignment may not be guaranteed.
Minimum qualifications include graduation from an accredited four-year college or university with preference given to majors in natural sciences, law enforcement, criminology or criminal justice; or, candidates may substitute previous employment as a certified law enforcement officer under certain circumstances.
The PAT consists of three parts: a 37.5-yard swim; an agility test consisting of completing a minimum of 18 pushups in proper form in one minute and completing 28 situps in proper form in one minute; and a 1.5 mile run in 14 minutes, 36 seconds or less. Failure to satisfactorily complete any part of the test is cause for disqualification and will eliminate candidates from further consideration. Candidates should bring long pants and a T-shirt for the fully clothed swimming test (no jeans or sweatpants) and a change of clothing for the running test.
Directions: From the east, take I-64 Exit 54, MacCorkle Avenue. Turn left at the bottom of the ramp and turn left again at the next traffic light onto Jefferson Road (Bob Evans Restaurant is on the corner). From the west, take I-64 Exit 54 and make two right turns onto Jefferson Road. The South Charleston Community Center is an eighth of a mile on the right.

Le recensioni dell'alloggio
We were very friendly welcomed and hosted and really enjoyed everything! The apartment was clean and cozy, had everything we needed and an excellent location!! Thank you very much to Joanne and Hervé, we had a great time! :)
Great location, clean and just big enough for the weekend. Although we had a 2 hour delay Hervé was still waiting at the studio and told us a lot about the city.
We had a great time here.
I was in that Studio with my boyfriend in March and it was great! It's closer to the metro that takes you everywhere in Paris due to its good public transport network.
The study is quite small but trust me, it is enough to sleep and to have breakfast.
Of course, the best was the location, the peaceful neirbourhood and that Joanne was really helpful.
Thanks Joanne! Kisses from Spain!
We have spent a really good time in this apartament. Well situated, near everything you need. Joanne helped us and she gave us a little present after our stay. If we came back to Paris, we would repeat!
Staying at Hervé's studio has been truly great! He was really kind! He greeted us and shared tips around the area and some great recommendations. The amazing central location of the studio made the exploration of the city a breeze.
Very well located in the centre of Paris. Hervé gave us a very kind welcome. He gave us some great information; he was very helpful and flexible.
The studio is little but confortable, is warm and quite,very easy to manage and very well located to enjoy Paris city centre. We found it clean and it's just like the pictures show it. The man Who welcome Us, Hervé, was very helpfull and kind. He's a very nice person Who made us feel just like at home.
Highly recomended
The appartment is on a perfect location, very close to Notre Dame and in a very turistic area full of restaurants, cafes and shops. It has everything you need for a weekend in Paris and the hosts are very very nice. I would definetly recommend it for a quick couple's escape!
My friend and I stayed for two nights in this little, cozy apartment (clean, new towels, hairdryer, kitchen fully equipped, bed linen, wifi --> everything you need was available) and we really enjoyed it. The apartment is perfect for a stay in this City, as you can do a lot of important sights by foot like Notre Dame, Louvre...There are also two metro stations nearby and you reach rue Rivoli/Notre Dame in less than 10 minutes.
We really can recommend this studio to you which is rent by Joanne and Hervé who are so kind and pleasant. They picked us up in front of the studio, they gave us some clues and if we had any questions we could feel free to write them.
If we will visit Paris again some day, we will book this flat again. !
Thank you Hervé and Joanne for having us in your studio!

Customized cancer vaccines delay death
Page Tools
An anti-cancer vaccine made with a patient's own brain tumour has helped several sufferers live much longer than expected.
US researchers reported finding three specific targets called antigens in brain tumour cells, and customised a vaccine that appears to have stalled the growth of the deadly brain cancers.
While the 14 patients were not cured, they lived an average of about two-and-a-half years, compared to seven-and-a-half months for similar patients who did not get the vaccine, the researchers said.
Writing in the journal Cancer Research, Dr Keith Black and colleagues at Cedars-Sinai medical centre in Los Angeles and a team at the National Cancer Institute said they found the antigens in the most common and aggressive type of malignant brain tumour, glioblastoma multiforme.
"This is the first time that a specific response to brain tumour antigens has been demonstrated as the result of an immunotherapy strategy," said Dr. John Yu, who helped lead the study.
Their trial was designed only to show the vaccines were safe, but they apparently helped the patients survive longer.
Immune cells called T lymphocytes can attack cancer cells but usually do not because the cancer cells also carry the signature of normal, healthy cells.
Researchers working on a cancer vaccine are looking for antigens that are made only by cancer cells, so the body can be trained to recognise and attack them.
They took cells from the patient's own brain tumour and grew them in the lab alongside immune cells that had been primed to recognise each of the three antigens.
The resulting "trained" immune cells were then injected back into the patients.
In another study, a team at Harvard Medical School used a slightly different approach to shrink tumours in two breast cancer patients.
Writing in the journal Clinical Cancer Research, Dr Donald Kufe and colleagues at Harvard's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute said they fused tumour cells from the patients with T-cells.
"This approach increased the number of antigens that immune system cells can recognise," said Dr David Avigan, who helped lead the study.
They tested 10 people with breast cancer and 13 with kidney cancer, vaccinating them with the fused cells, each customised to the patient.
One-third of the patients had some kind of positive response, the Harvard team reported.
In a third study a team at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota manipulated a human antibody and used it to vaccinate mice, curing some of them of melanoma, a deadly form of skin cancer.
Writing in Cancer Research, Larry Pease and colleagues said they had trained T-cells to seek and destroy malignant melanoma by using a molecular manipulation technique called "cross-linking".
They vaccinated the mice and then injected them with human melanoma tumours.
They said 48 per cent of the 29 mice that got the antibodies had no tumours. All the mice that received dummy antibodies developed large numbers of tumours in their lungs.

"Perfect for naptime wind down"
My twin daughters love this book and we were excited to find in as an audio book. We listen to it before every nap time and it helps calm them. I especially love the music and sounds of rain in the background.
"this one has pictures just like the book"
so excited!!! This one has all the pictures that the book does and all the way through the story you can see just like in the book. Perfect for my littlest one who expects to see a picture for each part of the story just like sitting and reading a story from a book with Mommy and her lap.
We love the audiobooks that come with pictures from the story. My daughter loves listening to and watching these together.
I'm a mom. I have drama in my life. I don't want books with the F-bomb, nor graphic violence. I read for fun and to bring my family together. I read for reducing stress levels. We have never had a television in our home and our children are now mid twenties to 19. We listen together and look for belly-wrenching laughter. So what is it like to live without a TV? Awesomely educational and inspirational. Each new book is a marvel.
"Very cute!"
Silly story and wonderful pictures. A great short listen.
Sounds like rain in the background.
"Short but sweet."
I prefer this to the print book. Not a fan of the illustrations but it's a cute story.
"My 2 year old loves this story!"
Yes. Beautiful performance. Great story. Love that this one comes with the books pictures!
"Family favorite"
Has put many a grandchild to sleep on numerous occasions. Highly recommended for reading to or those learning to read.

Long term relationship is working out
By Bucky on
Vehicle2002 Volkswagen Passat GLS 1.8T 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl Turbo 5M)
ReviewAt 160K, my Passat Wagon is proving to be quite the reliable workhorse. I may have lucked out, I realize, but she has been running nearly flawlessly. Annoying stuff along the way but has been limited to mostly quirky VW stuff. The module in the driver's side door was a MAJOR bummer 3 years ago ($1K+). Was rear ended very hard recently and frame didn't budge. The Ford Focus that hit us -- front end was utterly destroyed. Body guys were quite impressed. And so is my mechanic. The 1.8T is one of the best European engines (sad it's no longer) -- fun, reliable, fairly efficient. I will drive this car into the 200K's -- because I can hardly find another Euro wagon in stick! Again, sad.
Best FeaturesDriving control (no 4Motion but my Anti-Slip Regulation handles Northern Vermont snow formidably), visibility, cabin space, build quality, safety, 1.8T manual great power plant, Monsoon sound is better than my Bose system at home -- no joke.
Worst FeaturesPremium gas and fully synthetic oil adds up the operating costs. Annoying flaws with the little stuff at times, but hey, it's about picture items for me.

Back in 2008, We had a conference with the American Scholarships.We were told for a price of $298.99 that we can have all our paperwork done in searching for scholarships for college.If we paid that same day our price would only be $213.99 which we paid by check.
We received a customized list of scholarships with over 50 pages of scholarships that we had to end up mailing. Out of all we send we only received one negative respond.We were promised that they were going to do all of this work.
I have tried repeatedly leaving messages, my phone calls are never returned, I have called eveyrday for two weeks and no response.Last October of 2009, I sent all the copies of the information I have, I asked for my money back I've not received a thing.All I am asking for is my money back please can you help.
