UMs developed from two creative challenges: The first, to make use of the unique properties of pressed wool felt, and the second, to transform a flat surface into a volume using only the simplest of operations. As it happens, these challenges turned out to be mutually beneficial and resulted in objects that are as practical as they are pleasing. When unzipped, UMs lay completely flat for dry cleaning and easy storage and when zipped, they become inspired forms with inherent functionality. UMs come in one quintessential color: gray. Thats because theyre sewn from two layers of industrial wool felt made from factory excess. As a natural material that might otherwise go to waste, most would consider it eco-friendly. All UMs are cut and sewn in the San Francisco Bay Area.

With Eero Aarnio's imagination, there are absolutely no limits; Tipi is clearly a wonderful example of this! Drawing upon the zoomorphic precedents of his Pony Chair, Mr. Aarnio has created an abstracted bird which is so adorable in person, it will become like a giant pet (as you can see in the adjacent photo, Mr. Aarnio actually has a leash on one of them!). Tipi is destined to be the focal point of any room in which it is placed (and likely to upstage anything else in the room :) Tipi features metal construction with a molded foam body upholstered in the beautiful solid colors of the Danish Tonus 2000 textile. Perfect for a kid, yes; although, more importantly, as with so many of Mr. Aarnio's designs... part of the function of this piece is simply to convey a sense of fun and put a smile on your face every time you use or see it.

DAVENPORT– Iowa City West High sent one bowler to the state tournament, held Wednesday, Feb. 25, in Des Moines.
Senior Heath Schintler won the Regional Tournament Tuesday, Feb. 17, in Davenport to advance. Schintler bowled 501 and led the Trojans to a second-place finish with 2,829. Muscatine won the boys' Regional Championship with 3,226.
The West High girls placed fourth with 2,182 behind Muscatine (2,985), Bettendorf (2,830) and rival City High (2,793).
Brooke Kreiss led the Women of Troy with 371.
IOWA CITY– The route toward land condemnation took a couple of unexpected turns before its conclusion last Friday.
Ultimately, the county's Compensation Commission decided that Gary Weinman should be compensated a total of $80,000 for a permanent easement sought by the City of North Liberty.
TIFFIN— Members of the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Community School District board of education had sweat on their brows; not due to a high-pressure, controversial decision requiring a difficult vote, but from a hands-on demonstration of the benefits of a federal physical education grant. During the board's regular monthly meeting Wednesday, Jan. 21, at the high school in Tiffin, the board members tried out equipment purchased with the grant money.
TIFFIN– The Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Youth Football Program is holding registrations for incoming fifth and sixth grade students for the 2015-2016 school year on Tuesday, March 3, from 6-8 p. m. in the Clear Creek Amana Middle School multi-purpose room.

London, Mar 16 (ANI): A former Tesco employee has become Britain's first eBay millionaire.
Mark Radcliffe has made the fortune by selling electrical gadgets like iPod holders and remote control toys for less than 15 pounds.
Radcliffe was 21 when he started his business, First2Save, from his back bedroom in his spare time.
Ten years later, he owns a Ferrari sports car, and has an annual turnover of more than three million pounds, which makes him the first ever eBay millionaire.
Radcliffe began by selling items like mobile phone accessories and computer cables, and now vends a range of 3,700 items.
He has also employed a staff of 19 people, and operates from a 10,000 sq ft warehouse.
"We keep focussed on popular consumables. Our biggest sellers are all items with a value of less than 15 pounds - accessories for iPod's and mobile phones, gadgets, and electronic toys - low value goods with a high volume and decent profit margin," the Telegraph quoted Radcliffe as saying.
"When I started I was very young with no commitments, and no real financial backing, so I had to buy small products that I could buy in cheaply and sell quickly.
"I started selling mobile phone accessories in 1999 from my own website. Then eBay came along and that gave me the opportunity to reach a much wider customer-base.
"I'm constantly re-investing the money back into the business, so we can continue to grow.
"Without wanting to sound over-confident there is every chance that we can become the number one eBay seller in the world in the next 2 years," he added.
He now plans to move into premises three times bigger, and increase his staff to 34.
He also wants to become the world's biggest eBay trader by selling 50,000 items per month. (ANI)

When your Saturn Ion left the factory, it was destined for a driver who values trustworthy transportation in their automobile.
If we only drove in straight lines, then none of our vehicles would need any steering components. One key advancement from the 20th century that has improved how we steer is the Saturn Ion ball joint. Connected to our control arms, ball joints are a vast improvement over king pins; which pivoted the front spindles left and right but did not allow for any movement inward or outward.

The project, which will see Defra outsource its current IT infrastructure services and applications development, has an estimated value of more than £350m.
Masons partner David Isaac led the team, including partners Edward Goodwyn and Simon Colvin, that won the work against opposition from six other national and City firms. The in-house team, led by the head of the commercial and establishment team Sue Spence, will advise on public procurement issues, contract drafting and employment.
Although Masons has won this piece of work, the department will continue to instruct other firms. Defra has farmed out recent large instructions to Eversheds.
Spence said: "The Defra legal department has developed good working relationships with a number of firms of solicitors and we look forward to doing the same with Masons. We undertook a full procurement exercise and Masons was the firm we chose."
Eversheds continues to advise Defra on litigation arising from the Foot-and-Mouth crisis. Since then it has advised the department on the construction and development of a 12,500 square metre site for serviced accommodation in Cambridge.
Isaac said: "We look forward to establishing a partnership approach with the successful bidder, whilst ensuring that central government is properly protected against the many pitfalls that can occur in large IT outsourcing arrangements."
It is thought that the contract will be awarded in 2004.

NEW YORK -- Perhaps the most striking thing, for me, about boxer Orlando Cruz's immensely courageous decision last October to tell the world that he is gay was the relatively mellow response to the news.
Sure, we in the media covered it, analyzed it, and some sensationalized it. But by and large, the Cruz message to the masses was met with acceptance.
"I've been fighting for more than 24 years and as I continue my ascendant career, I want to be true to myself," he said on Oct. 4, 2012. "I have always been and always will be a proud gay man."
I was left feeling a sense of satisfaction in our populace, or the majority of it, anyway, as the Cruz disclosure played out without hysteria or recrimination. Sure, you had the lone knucklehead taking to Twitter talking about what an abomination it is for one man to kiss another, or what have you, but I took solace in the notion that those types of judgmental broadsides came from people older than the 32-year-old Cruz. The kids today, it feels like, are more likely to see a person for who they are without factoring in his or her sexual orientation. Bravo, America.
But the fact that Cruz, a Puerto Rico resident, is the first openly gay boxer is still newsworthy. It is newsworthy if for no other reason that the 20-2-1 fighter, who meets leather-tough vet Orlando Salido on Oct. 12 in Las Vegas, is a role model to other gay males who still fear emerging from the closet. I chatted with Cruz before a Top Rank-sponsored workout at the Mendez Gym in midtown Manhattan on Tuesday afternoon, and asked him about how he's handling his status as an out presence in the supposedly conservative, old-school sport of pugilism.
I first asked Cruz how he will defeat Salido, the former featherweight champ with a 39-12-2 mark, because after all, it won't matter to the Mexican Salido that Cruz is gay as they vie for the WBO featherweight title. "I will win because of my experience, I am very, very hungry," he said. "My main edge is I am very intelligent in the ring."
He told the world that he is a "proud gay man" almost a year ago, and said that today he is comfortable. He was worried how Puerto Rico would treat him, how the boxing world would treat him. But, he said, today he is content that the burden of his secret is lifted. "I am yes, a role model, and I want to be for the kids, and other athletes," he said.
Cruz lost a TKO5 and a KO3 back to back in 2009 and 2010, to Cornelius Lock and Daniel Ponce De Leon; he explained that was because he felt so much anxiety about his sexuality. "The people of Puerto Rico, the Latin people, support me one hundred percent [now]," he said.
Cruz, who lived in New Jersey and moved back to P.R. a year ago, said he will address a wedding date with his fiancee -- to whom he proposed on Facebook five weeks ago -- after the Salido bout. He also told me that he will likely make New York his home base in 2014.
I firmly believe that our society will continue to make strides in acceptance, and if Cruz keeps winning, and maybe snags this world crown and defends it a few times, within a year or two, the story I write on Cruz won't even mention that he is gay.
That, my friends, will be further progress.

Progress reports from Antarctic research icebreaker
By Aparna Sreenivasan, NSF researcher
May 12, 2001 During the past week, the Palmer
has battled turbulent seas, ice-cold temperatures, and strong winds while cruising
to its scientific sampling stations in Marguerite Bay on the Antarctic Peninsula.
But the harsh conditions have not stopped researchers from working around the
clock to gather data.
As the ship moves southward, sea ice will get thicker. The Palmer is an ice-breaking
vessel and should have no problem cutting a swath through the thick ice. But
along with the freezing water come increased swells and more brutal storms.
In as few as 24 hours, the weather can change from a "balmy" minus
two degrees Celsius (28.4 degrees Farenheit) with breezes of two to five knots
(2.3 to 5.75 mph), to extremely stormy seas with winds of 40 to 50 knots (46
to 57 mph).
Read more
Indeed, earlier storms the Palmer encountered
seem placid when compared to the large storms the ship has recently faced. One
packed 35- to 40-knot winds and waves greater than 6.9 meters (20 feet).
The Palmer's skilled and experienced crew, headed by Captain Michael Watson,
has had no significant problems navigating through the rough weather, though
caution is the watchword. "You just can't go to fast in storms like these,"
said Watson. "You've got to take your time."
The ship is currently at station 61 out of 84 in its scientific survey pattern,
and is heading southwest. Since the beginning of the trip, almost three weeks
ago, the number of daylight hours has dwindled from nine to a mere five-and-a-
half. Generally, the sun rises at 10:45 a.m., but to be seen it first has to
make its way through heavy gray clouds that hang over the horizon. By 3:30 p.m.,
the sky is dark.
"I miss the sun," said Susan Howard, a researcher from the Earth
and Space Research Institute in Seattle, Washington.
Reading the Ocean Currents
Howard is working with a sensor called the Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler
(ADCP) that measures how water circulates in the ocean. The profiler is mounted
to the ship's hull and takes direct measurements of the ocean currents -- day
and night -- as the vessel moves.
Howard hopes to generate a map of how the currents circulate through Marguerite
Bay. This is important, she says, because no one has ever taken such measurements
this far south. Knowing how the water moves throughout the bay will help researchers
understand how the small plants (phytoplankton) and animals (zooplankton) are
moved between the nearby waters of the continental shelf and those in the bay.
As currents move through upper 200-300 meters (650 to 980 feet) of the water,
they change directions, which can move the phytoplankton and zooplankton into
different environments. Currents can also concentrate small zooplankton and
krill into a small area where they provide a virtual pantry of food for larger
animals. Profiles of the water currents also give information about the movement
patterns of the sea ice, which is an important habitat for krill and their predators
such as penguins and seals.
Howard is collaborating with Bob Beardsley, a physical oceanographer from the
Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), in Woods Hole, Mass., who is also
aboard the Palmer. Earlier in the season, Beardsley's group put a number of
semi-permanent current meters into the ocean waters at different points around
Marguerite Bay. Like the ADCP, the current meters measure how the water is moving,
but they do so from fixed positions.
Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. The moored meters measure the
ocean currents over a longer period of time, while the ADCP is limited to sampling
an area only once as the ship cruises through its course. In other words, the
ADCP takes measurements over a wide area while current meters provide more information
over time from a fixed location.
Beardsley and Howard will combine what they find individually to make an accurate
map of how the water is moving through Marguerite bay.
"Just Another Day at the Office"
The Palmer is now deep in the heart of Marguerite Bay, and often encounters
large icebergs that have broken off the ice shelves, and glaciers on the nearby
islands. Often, newly forming ice surrounds the ship as it makes its way south
toward the end of its transect route. Three types of sea ice, "shuga",
"nilas" and "grease" ice, predominate during these early
winter months.
Grease ice is newly forming, blackish gray in color, and looks like foamy oil
slicked over the water. Crabeater seals, which sometimes follow the ship, effortlessly
swim through the slushy grease ice.
Round blocks of ice, that look like pancakes stuck together, and stronger packed
ice will eventually appear.
When they signed on for the trip, the researchers and crew expected to fight
weather and storms, so they generally take the rough conditions in stride. Sometimes,
experiments are postponed until winds and waves die down and the ship is steadier,
but other times, the show goes on, with or without good weather. It is during
these times that the researchers are particularly grateful for the support crew
working behind the scenes.
The Palmer and the Laurence M. Gould, her sister ship in this cruise, are handled
by crews employed by Raytheon Polar Services Co., of Englewood, Colo., NSF's
logistical contractor. Each ship has a group of computer, electrical, and marine
technicians that work together to keep all aspects of the cruise running smoothly.
On the current cruises, Alice Doyle is the head marine project coordinator
(MPC) and has been intimately involved in the organization and implementation
of the 2001 Southern Ocean GLOBEC cruises. Doyle started as a science technician
on similar cruises. With a chemistry degree from the University of Virginia
and more than five year's experience as a marine chemistry research technician,
Doyle is able to easily trouble shoot laboratory problems. She also serves as
an emergency medical technician.
The Raytheon support staff are exceedingly friendly and work very hard to keep
everyone happy and safe. They also enjoy their work.
One late evening, in the midst of one of the most raucous storms the Palmer
has encountered, researchers were poised to take water samples over the stern
of the ship. This required deploying an expendable conductivity temperature
depth probe (XCTD). The XCTD, like its larger counterpart, the conductivity
temperature depth probe (CTD), collects information about the salt concentration,
temperature and depth of the water column. But the XCTD is a far less expensive,
one-time use instrument.
Once deployed, the probe drops to the ocean floor, feeding data to a computer
inside the ship. The expendable XCTD is used when conditions are too dangerous
to deploy the larger CTD from the ship's "Baltic Room," which provides
access to the open ocean.
Huge walls of water flew onto the deck while technician Matt Burkeshot, an
Earth Science Oceanography graduate of the California University of Pennsylvania
and a veteran of five years at sea, deployed the probe. After the XCTD safely
on its way, Burke made his way back to shelter.
Smiling, he said that it is this kind of days that keep him coming back to
Aparna Sreenivasan is a student in the science communication program
at the University of California at Santa Cruz. She also holds a doctorate
in molecular, cellular, and developmental biology. As a member of the

Harry Baxter
|Henry Baxter
8 April 1921
County Kilkenny, Ireland
|10 January 2007(aged 85)
|United Kingdom
|British Army
|Commands held
|Ulster Defence Regiment
Brigadier Henry Joseph Patrick "Harry" Baxter CBE GM KM (8 April 1921 – 10 January 2007)[1] was an Irish [2] born fourth generation soldier who overcame the handicap of being blind in one eye to join the army and rose to command one of the largest and most controversial regiments in the British Army.
Indian Army[edit]
Harry Baxter was born a "child of the regiment" to the Royal Irish Fusiliers.[3] Despite being blind in his right eye as the result of a childhood shooting accident in India he was determined to join the army in 1939. The medical officer who tested him was impressed to meet someone who was trying to cheat his way "into" the army that he passed him fit for the Indian Army.[3] He gave up a scholarship place at Oxford University and was commissioned as a 2nd Lt. to the Punjab Regiment[disambiguation needed] on 11 October 1942 with the number 363915. Baxter's service in India was mostly wartime and he served in Burma.[2] His Emergency Commission was changed to a Permanent Commission in the British Army on 25 May 1946 when he joined the Royal Irish Fusiliers (RIF) as a Lieutenant.[1][4]
Royal Irish Fusiliers[edit]
In 1947 Baxter transferred to the RIF on a regular (permanent) commission and served in Palestine, Egypt, Greece, Germany and finally Malaya where he was Mentioned in Dispatches[2][5] During this time he spent four years on Extra Regimental Engagement (ERE) to Lord Mountbatten's staff. Between 1963 and 1966 he was the commander of the North Irish Brigade's depot bases in Eglinton Barracks County Londonderry and St Patrick's Barracks County Antrim and also spent a period as a staff officer with the Berlin Brigade before being appointed Brigadier UDR. He was awarded the OBE in the 1968 Queen's Birthday Honours list.[6]
George Medal[edit]
Baxter was awarded the George Medal for his actions at Gough Barracks, Armagh when, as a major, he and Captain Henry Chavasse removed a viable bomb from outside the armoury and drove it to a safe place for disposal. The detonator of the bomb exploded whilst it was in transit but the device did not explode.[7][8]
Ulster Defence Regiment[edit]
Baxter assumed command of the Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR) in April 1973 from Brigadier Denis Ormerod.[9] Like Ormerod, Baxter was a Roman Catholic commanding a locally raised and predominantly Protestant regiment during a time of intercommunal strife.[10]
He was in command during the notable Ulster Workers' Council strike in 1974 which was considered to be a "turning point" in the regiment's history and "coming of age" comments listed by Major John Potter in his unofficial history of the regiment.[11]
Having a brigadier as regimental commander was unusual in the modern British Army but the size of the Ulster Defence Regiment with its 11 battalions and over 9,000 men and women (at its peak) demanded an officer of higher rank than colonel.
Baxter was the commander of the UDR at the time of the Miami Showband killings, when several soldiers of the regiment were involved in the killing of musicians outside the town of Banbridge.
He returned to the UDR in 1977 as Colonel Commandant of the regiment until 1986.[12][13]

Hi Guys,
I'm soon to be upping the brakes on my 328. I've heard for the 330 mod etc, it's worthwhile upgrading to an M3 master cylinder and servo. So I just have a few questions:
- Is there any difference between the M3 3.0 and Evo master cylinder and servo?
- Are both of them a direct replacement - or will I have to faff about routing brake and clutch pipes?
- Is it ok to upgrade the servo etc prior to the caliper upgrade (will it just mean a firmer pedal)?

Lagerfeld's latest big idea: more is more
Karl Lagerfeld installed a suitably polished wind farm in the monumental Grand Palais for his show for Chanel in Paris yesterday. In terms of scale, this was the biggest production of the week – there was more floor space, more models, more clothes and a larger audience. As an exercise in sheer power, then, it was unprecedented as befits a fashion brand widely believed to be the most successful in the world, though not one generally famed for its conservative carbon footprint.

Stay injury free
I had started running at a young age starting in elementary school but that was a while ago, so none of that is important. In 9th grade my start of cross country began. Despite not running at all during the past summer, I was the only freshman boy to make it to the Bob Firman invite. At the end of the season I was awarded with he freshman of the year award, which I was proud of. That coming track season I didn't put any hard work into running before because I thought I could just show up and run. My 1600m p.r. that year was a 5:03 and I also lettered that year.
My sophmore year was a year that I regret and I wish that I could do all over again. I didn't run at all the summer following up to that cross country season despite constant effort from my parents to wake me and and get me to go running. When the season came, I had zero motivation to work hard and run. Intstead of going to practices after school, I would walk to McDonalds and get food to eat and wait for my older sister to return. My lack of hard work showed during the season. I was no longer the fastest my age and for some reason I just didn't seem to care. This was probably my most wasted year of running that I wish i could get back. When track season came I only improved by 7 seconds by running a 4:56 mile. I ran that my first race of the season at a duel meet against Roy. All season long I tried to be motivated and do the workouts so I could improve, but I didn't improve at all that whole season. I really started to get frustrated.
Because I had been on the school basketball team since I was a freshman, that is mainly what my summer consisted of. I didn't learn my lesson the first 2 summers and I still did not do any summer running. I spent most my time in a gym shooting hoops and trying to lift weights. By the end of summer I was getting burnt out of basketball and I debated even trying out again. I was looking something new to try. Near the end of the summer I was in a conversation with a running teamate of mine. He said something to me that sparked a bit of motivation for running. With only about 2 weeks left until the Alumni meet, I started to run. I felt out of running shape, but I still continued to run. I was only doing about 3 miles a day at the most until the day of the meet came. I had one goal at that meet. I won't say it though for multiple reasons. The race was really tough because our course has a lot of steep hills, and I hadn't ran a hill that whole summer. I pushed myself the whole race and when I come acrsoss the line i finished second from Mountain Crest behind Nick Allen and I got my goal. This made a lot of my teamates mad that I hardly ran that whole summer and came out and beat them. This made my motivation for running grow even more. I really started looking forward to the season. I started improving a lot more than I had expected. My coaches did real good job of helping get better. In a nutshell I improved a lot more that I expected and became the fastest runner my age again. At the end of the season I was awarded the most improved runner award. I was excited to run track that coming season so I continued to run throughout the winter. During Christmas break i went snowboarding and thought it would be a good idea to go off and A-rail. I ate in and my right knee really hurt bad. The pain was there for a couple weeks. Found out a bruised my femur and I super lucky to not have of shattered my femur. #blessed That stopped my running for the winter and took my training to the the pool in the mornings before school. Track rolled around and I was finally cleared to start running. I ran my best and made it to all the invitationals that I could. I believe that if I wouldn't have of injured myself, that I would of had a much better chance of making it to state. I would have had 3 extra months of training which would have of really helped. At the end of year awards I recieved the most improved runner award again.
This summer I am motivated to get better and doing my best in my workouts. I hope this next year of running I can do well.
Senior year for cross country was awesome while it lasted. I did great breaking all my records and improving every race. All of my hard summer training had started to pay off. After my race of the year (Cache Box) I got sick with what was thought to be the flu. I was so out of energy for every race and just could not push myself like I wanted to. After a dissapointing race and state, I went to the doctors for a blood test. My results came back posotive for mono. Sucks to have that happen my senior year, but atleast I have track. I'm gonna put in some hard work during the winter.
Favorite Blogs:
Ran into Millville in the heat of the day. Headed towards the cemetery and up cemetery hill. Ran to my buddies house which was right on the dot for 3 miles, so I turned back from there. My legs felt really heavy, ecspecially for the first 3 miles because if there wasn't a hill, there was some sort of incline. The second half of the run felt much better because of the downhill. Average pace was 7:19.
pm: Met up with Joe and Hayden to do a couple miles. Joe wants to get back in shape so we are going to start running with him. Started at his apartment and passed Logan high onto main street in Logan. It was a great time getting back to together and running just like old times. Hit 2 miles, and turned back. Finished with 4. Average pace was 7:04. It felt lovely.

Thats what begs me everyday is survival mode unfair because your only allowed to have two players in the game against an entire country or is it fair that two guys named Zodiac5517 and Zamarai96 somewhat good at MW3 can survive all the way to wave 30 without another player to help us out, you decide MW3?
What I'm trying to say is, is survival possible with only two players.

Probiotics are friendly organisms such as bacteria and yeast, which are very useful in human and animal health. Probiotics beneficially affect humans by improving the balance of flora in the digestive system. Probiotic products are considered as the element of healthy life. Probiotics provides numerous benefits to the consumers, as a result of which the demand for such market increases. For example, lactobacillus reuteri present in probiotics can prevent blood pressure and tooth decay. In addition, Probiotics helps in balancing the bacteria present in the vagina and put a stop to the overgrowth of harmful microorganisms in it. Furthermore, it prevents from constipation and respiratory infections.
The increasing concern of consumers on preventive health care is driving the market. Moreover, probiotic bacteria are considered as very efficient in improving human health.

In addition to that, the consumer unawareness about the probiotic product & its benefits prevents them from its acceptance. The awareness created by International Food Information Council (IFIC) for these products can drive the market. Development of probiotics in the new areas of application such as skin treatment is an opportunity for this market growth. Many European and North American countries imposed ban on the use of antibiotic in animal feed which would facilitate the usage of probiotic instead of antibiotics.

Hi,just discovered my cold was asthma and am using an inhaler the last 4 days. Think it has been triggered by the colder weather. Took a 5 day break from running and my training did not go as good at all today with difficulty breathing longer than normal and feeling tired sooner than normal. I was running 3-4x/wk in the early morning up until last wkend, ending up with a nasty cough at the end for the last couple of weeks, but still able to train. (I know training should have ceased while for a while with cough). Does anyone else run with asthma and do you have any suggestions on modifying training. Doing my 1st 10 km in few days and not sure how confident I feel about getting around. Oh yeah to top it off, monthly cycle is to start on day of 10km! Cheers

Hi sporty,
I have ankylosingspondylitis (try saying that when you are drunk!) as oppose to asthma but I still use 2 inhalers (a brown one to help keep the inflamation in my lungs down and a blue one to take if I need it).
I don't really modify my training as such. If I am having a wheezy week then I take a puff of blue a few minutes before a run. This seems to help. I wear a HRM just to monitor whether or not my pulse is higher than usual (for a given training session).
My peak flow is less than an 'average' man my age so I recently bought a peak flow meter (via a prescription) from Boots and I am going to use that to plot my peak flow on a weekly basis. I hope to be able to spot trends developing and can then increase the dose of the brown inhaler.
There are thousands of runners out there with asthma or that need an inhaler so don't worry too much.
As for doing the 10k, well, just do it! I don't know what inhaler you have but perhaps a puff before the race would help. As always when running, listen to your body. It will tell you when something is wrong. So do the 10k and enjoy it!
P.S. What sort of cycle do you have? Is it a mountain bike or a racer! (Sorry, bloke type joke!)
September 2002
There are lots of threads on the forum that deal with this so try doing a search on asthma.
I have been running with exercise induced asthma for many years and using an inhaler for about 13 years. The inhaler is Salbutamol and I generally take a puff (sometimes two) immediately before a run which largely stops the wheeziness occurring.
I know the asthma is still there as occasionally I forget to take the inhaler.
DH - that was a terrible joke!!!!
September 2002
Thanks DH & MH. It will be an adjustment using my blue inhaler before runs. I use the brown one regularly as well. Intend to just go have fun running the 10km this weekend.

Sporty - basically this question has been answered by the others. I have asthma too. I only use the blue Ventolin as the brown ones made my breathing much worse. Two puffs before I start does the trick, although normally my breathing is only bed when I get a cold (in which case I do no training).
September 2002
Sporty, I've only found out I've got asthma in the last few weeks and I take two puffs of the blue inhaler (in fact I only have a blue one, salbutamol too). I found it helps a hell of a lot and only occasionally do I need a bit after as well, but not normally. I'm not sure what triggered mine off (apart from the running) as when I first noticed it I was painting my bedroom, then I had a cold and the warm weather made me feel very wheezy.
I haven't modified my training or racing at all, I find the puffer is all I need.
September 2002
Chris and Caz - I'm concerned that neither of you has a brown (steroid) inhaler. This is the preventer, and if you use it in the right way, and at the right dosage for you, you will hardly ever need the blue (reliever) inhaler. I speak as an asthmatic of eight years and (in a previous life when I had a proper job) an asthma nurse. Chris, a few people are allergic/non-responsive to the standard brown one, but your GP should be able to offer you others that will work for you. V-rap may have better ideas, but what worries me is that the people whose asthma gives them serious trouble seem almost always to be the ones who are not using their preventative (brown) inhaler properly. Sorry to nag, but my mother had to end up on life support before she would listen to me, so it's a bit of a bee in the bonnet job!
September 2002
Panic not. I've been cpoing with Asthma for 30 yrs. be sensible, listent your body. use the blue inhaler before a run, and it the asthma isn't stabilised, take it with you.
If your GP gives you a preventer ( not blue) use it when you are told to.
There is no reason why you can't live a normal life, and if you can't go back to the doc and tell him/her.
Don't let it stop you doing what you want.
September 2002
Took me years to work out that it wasnt clever to 'forget' to take my preventative inhaler. Am now pushing 40 and no longer 'forget'. I can't remember the last time I had an asthma attack - long may it continue.

Sassie - thanks for the concern. My asthma is only limited to when I am ill, so I have a few wheezy days a year. (That an when it is an allergic reaction to cats and horses.) I last had an 'attack' when I was 10. It scared the life out of me, but hasn't happened again in the last 15 years. I do a lot of exercise, and my asthma is not exercise induced. As I said, I was struck down by the 'brown' one, and the 'Intal' white thing I had before that just filled my throat with powder. I do have an annual review of my asthma and my GP seems quite happy with the whole thing.
September 2002
Hi Sassie and all. As I'm knew to the asthma thing, I only had my first appointment with the asthma clinic today. They want me to measure my peak flow twice a day and record it for a month and if my asthma is unstable then they will prescribe me with the brown inhaler too. They gave me lots of literature on the subject and apparently there's is also a green inhaler, which like the blue is a reliever but lasts longer. Now that would be handy. I fancy the full spectrum myself.
September 2002
Hi all. I've had asthma for about 25 years now, and the biggest improvements I've seen came after reading about research done in Russia by Konstantin (?) Buteyko in a book called 'Freedom from Asthma' written by Alexander Stalmatski. Without going into details, Buteyko reckons that Asthma is a response to an incorrect breathing pattern, which can be corrected without drugs.
I'm normally extremely sceptical about any kind of alternative/natural/homeopathic/magic pixie dust type remedies, but this really worked for me, without having read this book I probably wouldn't be able to run at all. Could be well worth a look, there's no guarantee with any of these things but it made sense to me to look for an alternative to taking steroids every day for life.

Hello there. Just wanted to set the record straight on inhalers. Most asthma or bronchial affected patients will have the Blue Salbutamol inhaler, which has been correctly described as a reliever. Some patients also have a brown inhaler a preventer. Most GP's when first diagnosing asthma will take a peak flow reading into consideration and prescribe EITHER blue OR blue/brown combinations. The terms reliever and preventer although correct can cause confusion. You do not necessarily have to take both inhalers as part of your prescription. The blue preventer alone may be sufficient.
Probably the most important aspect of inhaler use to focus on is the correct inhaler technique. This is especially important if your asthma is triggered by exercise.
As for runnig with asthma, I have had asthma for 12 years and my training has never been affected by asthma. As with all fitness training stop when you get a cold. Don't forget if you are an asthmatic you can get a free Flu vaccination from your GP. If you want to take a flu vaccination you should make an appointmetn soon as the flu season starts in a couple of months and the vaccination can take upto 21 days to become fully effective.

I was first diagnosed as Asthmatic as a five year old (nearly 40 years ago) in the days when they didn't have the inhalers available that they do now. Effectively in those days kids who had asthma were treated as semi invalids. When my chest was x rayed they discovered that I had the lungs of a two year old. That turned out to be a life saver because I was given physiotherapy to help develop my lungs, and it is those very exercises that Slowboy is referring to. Believe me they do work.
Breathing patterns are very important - as are using the right muscles to breath. Try to practise breathing using your diaphragm as opposed to your intercostals. In other words try not to lift your ribcage and take in a huge gulp of air, use your tummy instead, as in gives a much smoother in and out. You can do this better by lying on your front or by leaning foward from a sitting position with a pillow on your lap (sounds wierd - wish I could draw it).
It is horrbly uncomfortable at first - but be patient it gets easier, and it will in time increase your lung capacity. In turn this will reduce the wheeziness.
Try doing some swimming as well - doing breastroke properly (like they do on the telly) will give you good breathing discipline. Don't worry about looking silly - everyone looks silly when they swim.
Try to aim to be able to breath without raising your rib cage when you are at rest. I discovered that this gave me the ability to play possum very effectively- which in turn gave me a great spin off career playing dead bodies in the school play!!
Oh yes - and in case you think I'm a purist - I use an inhaler as well. No harm in that its what they were invented for. Its as well to know how to handle yourself if you haven't got it with you though.
Incidentally the above technique is worth knowing as rudimentary first aid if you ever come across anyone who is having an asthma attack. They will be in a panic trying to take in huge gulps of air - this will force them to breathe more shallowly and will calm them down enough to get a shot of salbutamol into them.
Salbutamaol and turbutaline inhalers should be declared if you are, or hope to be, an elite runner, as you could be drug tested. Speak to your club secretary and get a form to declare it.
Hope this helps.

I've often wondered what the situation is regarding inhalers and banned substances - not that I'm ever likely to be drugs tested, but I've always been curious.

When I used to do motorsports I had to take my inhalers to the Clerk Of The Course and declare that I had them. There were lots of other competitors there with inhalers but very few declared them. I was never drug tested after a race (possibly because I was cr*p)!
I believe it is on the 'banned substance' list.
I will never make it into the elite runners class so I still take a squirt or two before a race. If they do drug test me what are they going to do: confiscate the free T-shirt!

This is true, some asthma inhalers (Salbutamol included) are on the banned substance list. This most recently hit the headlines when Kym Collins the winner of the mens 100m at the commonwealth games in Manchester tested positive for a banned substance. It later tuned out he was taking a prescribed medicine (Salbutamol) and the result stood. He had not informed the officials he was taking salbutamol but was let off on this occasion.
Anyone think that would have happened at the olympics or the world championships?
Like Slowboy I don't think I will ever be tested but it's worth remembering that you do need to declare your inhalers.
September 2002
If it's on the list of banned substances but you declare it does that mean you can still use it?? Does this just apply to prescribed medicine? I always assumed if it was on the list it was simply No Way, Jose.
The Big Blister
September 2002
Some prescribed medicines are on the banned list. However if you are using them as part of a prescribed medical condition and declare them, you can use them. Salbutamol in the dosage supplied by an inhaler would give only a marginal advantage if any. However if salbutamol was detected in levels higher than your prescription then you would be disqualified.
I'm not sure on the dose levels but taking more than your prescribed dose of salbutamol in not advised under any circumstances!!

I speak from quasi personal experience about the drug testing bit. My daughter (who is also asthmatic) is an elite athlete, and has been tested a number of times including one out of competition test. This can be fairly unnerving for all concerned. She now makes a point of writing down every medication that she takes in a diary - asprins, cold cures - the lot.
The problem that I've found is the lack of information available about what and what not to do. This is especially so for junior athletes, many of whom routinely take asthma medication whilst blithley unaware that it is on the banned list. Juniors can be and are tested at English Schools and Junior AAA events. Inhalers have to be declared in advance, and exemption certificates have to be available for production. For juniors these only last a year and often take months to arrive after the initial application.
So be warned if you have a son/daughter who is getting quite good at running.

Latics come from behind to claim great win at The HawthornsWEST BROMWICH ALBION 1Reid 33WIGAN ATHLETIC 2Moses 38Gomez 56 (pen)Report by Paul ChialtonLatics survived a late West Brom onslaught at The Hawthorns to hold onto their 2-1 lead and claim three vital points that not only lifts them off the foot of the Barclays Premier League but also, momentarily at least, out of the relegation zone altogether.Coming from a goal down Roberto Martinez's men fought their way back into the game and earn the win thanks to cool strikes from wing-wizard Victor Moses and Jordi Gomez.The home side started brightly but Latics grew into the encounter steadily and were soon on top, bolstered by the return of Antolin Alcaraz at the back who put barely a foot wrong before coming off with a suspected broken rib.But they were set-back after half-an-hour when Gary Caldwell was penalised for a push on Shane Long 30-yards out - up stepped Steven Reid to dispatch the free-kick superbly into the top-left corner and put the Baggies into the lead.Credit goes to the response from Latics following the goal, spurred on by the 500-strong travelling support they thwarted a second-goal for the home side via Caldwell's superb block (it wasn't to be the last) before Moses levelled the scores up.Played into the area by Mohamed Diame the man who turns 21 on Monday gifted himself an early birthday present by curling one majestically into the top-right corner - a beautiful finish for his first goal of the season that will no doubt allow his confidence to soar in the coming weeks.The visitors continued to settle on the game, with James McCarthy helping cut through the midfield with great support either side of him and excellent hold-up play from Conor Sammon who again produced a sterling performance up-top.The winner came just before the hour-mark following an incident involving both goalscorers; Moses again was at the heart of Latics' threat, bamboozling two defenders before breaking into the area and drawing the foul from Reid.Referee Mike Dean pointed to the spot and Gomez stepped-up, ice-cool, to slot home his third goal of the season and second from the spot.What followed was the most tense finale to a game so far this season, with West Brom throwing everything at Latics, leaving themselves exposed at the back and coming close to finding an equaliser just as they did in this fixture last season.Caldwell was a man-mountain at the back, winning everything in the air, throwing himself at every shot and leading by example as captain - a man-of-the-match performance from the Scotland international.He wasn't alone in helping secure the points, as Maynor Figueroa denied Chris Brunt a clean header at goal with a last ditch interception, whilst Ali Al Habsi, who had denied Brunt in the first-half by tipping onto the bar pushed a Long header wide from close-range.In the dying moments former-Latics midfielder Paul Scharner came close and Graham Dorrans was booked for diving inside the area in a heart-stopping decision by the referee that proved to be the right one.Moses had the chance to wrap things up at the other end but was denied by a late tackle on the edge of the area, but it mattered not as Latics held on, rode the storm and showed tremendous character and determination to take home three well-deserved, precious points before the arrival of Chelsea at the DW Stadium next weekend.West Brom: Foster; Reid, McAuley, Olsson, Shorey; Brunt, Morrison (Scharner, 84), Mulumbu (Dorrans, 66), Thomas; Odemwingie (Tchoyi, 80), LongSubs: Fulop, Dawson, B.

Muslims around Volusia and Flagler counties are preparing to embark on one of the holiest rituals of the Islamic faith: a strenuous month of disciplined fasting known as Ramadan.
Muslims around Volusia and Flagler counties are preparing to embark on one of the holiest rituals of the Islamic faith: a strenuous month of disciplined fasting known as Ramadan.
It's not an easy task, according to Riaz Qureshi, president of the Islamic Center of Deltona, which operates the Masjid-e-Maryam, or Mosque of Mary, in DeBary, but it's not supposed to be, either.
The month-long ritual is a test of faith, willpower and personal discipline, with the object of both honoring God – called Allah by Muslims – and bettering one's self as a person in the long-term.
The observance begins at sundown Monday. Starting Tuesday, faithful Muslims will be required to abstain from food, drink and other worldly distractions, such as sexual relations, each day from dawn to dusk, until after sundown on Wednesday, Aug. 7. That day marks the festival of Eid al-Fitr, or the Festival of Breaking of the Fast.
Fasting during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam, along with along with faith, worship, charitable giving and pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. Because the standard Western calendar is solar, rather than lunar, the beginning and ending dates of Ramadan move about 10 days earlier each year, Qureshi explained.
The elderly and the sick are generally allowed some leeway and don't have to fast as severely, if at all, during the month. For example, Qureshi said his wife, who is diabetic, is exempt from the practice for health reasons.
"It is not a religion that forces you," he said. "The fasting is just to make us a better human being, so we can learn patience."
Even for healthy people, not eating – and especially, not drinking – during the day in the hot Florida summer can be a challenge, but Qureshi said practitioners exercise caution and try not to become dehydrated or otherwise damage their health.
"I will be 69 in January, but I fast. I just exercise caution not to put myself into that kind of situation," he said. "Your body is a wonderful wonderful creation of God. It can adapt to anything."
In the midst of this holy month of spiritual cleansing, volunteers are continuing to furnish the interior of the new Mosque of Mary, at 420 Summerhaven Drive in DeBary.
The mosque hosts a small community of about 30 to 40 Muslims from West Volusia and as far away as the Orlando area.
The building is a 3-story, 16,000 sq. ft. former office building that the Islamic Center of Deltona, Inc. purchased in December for $430,000. The DeBary City Council approved its operation as a mosque – the first dedicated one in West Volusia – after a contentious meeting in March.
Since that time, Qureshi and the other leaders of the mosque have been reaching out to the surrounding neighborhood. He's made it a goal to try to be a good neighbor, and wants to foster understanding, not division, he said.
He likes to emphasize the similarities between Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Even the mosque's name evokes Mary, mother of Jesus Christ, a central figure in the Christian faith who is similarly revered in Islam, he said.
Mohammad Shakil, 62, of Sanford, who volunteers and practices at the mosque, is looking forward to joining his fellow Muslims in observing Ramadan in their new spiritual home.
"You have 30 days to ask God, who we call Allah, for forgiveness and repentance," he said. "It's kind of cleansing your spirituality and it rejuvenates your religion. You worship longer and more than normal, to show your devotion."
He said the ritual is a test of patience and a learning experience for Muslims to know what the pain of hunger feels like, in order to gain an appreciation for what they have.
"After the first two days, your body gets used to it. It's just like if you have an early breakfast – a good, hardy breakfast – and a late dinner," he said. "That's only for 30 days, and then your life becomes normal again.
"But you also learn how to do with less. It's another way to show you how to discipline your life."
