FitPlanet works with a lot of events, both big and not-so-big, all over the USA and overseas as well. When we help them achieve great results and they get recognized for their efforts its particularly gratifying. Here's the latest news about the Competitor Group's Rock 'n' Roll San Jose Half Marathon.
By MCM Green Team member Christopher Stephens
While I normally believe that reducing consumption is the best way to be green, regardless of the activity, there are some areas where skimping can be counterproductive.
If you are training for a marathon, or really for any distance, you should get new running shoes on a regular basis. I' can't say exactly how many miles your shoes will last, but I can tell you that, no matter how good the shoes are, the essential cushioning will eventually wear out. And running on shoes that don't absorb the pressure you apply with each step can do serious damage to your limbs and joints.
So how do you keep up this level of consumption while sticking to a green training plan? Remember: reduce, reuse, and recycle. While you can't reduce the number of shoes you wear, you can still reduce in other ways. A number of manufacturers are looking to reduce the amount of packaging used in getting the shoes to customers. Brooks has eliminated a number of elements in their boxes – less tissue paper, for example . This savings adds up over the thousands of shoes they sell.
Reuse? A bit tougher, though I keep the recently retired running shoes
for days when I have to go out in the rain. Also, my local chain of running stores, Jackrabbit Sports, collects used shoes and sends them to a charity in Haiti. You may not get any more training runs out of the shoes, but the same shoes may still make a big difference to someone in need. Keep in mind, however, that a pair of shoes that is no longer wearable does not make a suitable gift for a charity. For more on that idea, I suggest you read the relevant FAQ from Shoe4Africa.org.
The key tactic here is to recycle. The folks at Nike have taken the lead with their Reuse a Shoe program. Essentially, they accept used running shoes at hundreds of locations, separate them into their component parts, and use the materials to make running tracks, basketball courts and tennis courts, which they donate to schools. This has kept over 25 million pairs of shoes out of landfills.
What can you do about all of this? Have your running club sponsor a used shoe drive – who doesn't have a pair of old running shoes lying around the house? Or encourage a youth group to do the same (this sort of project has high school community service written all over it). If you want to go the extra mile, you might write to the manufacturer of your favorite brand of shoes and encourage them to use recycled materials, either in their packaging or in the shoes themselves.
Finally, you could simply run barefoot, but I think this is a classic example of the perfect being the enemy of the good, a problem with so many green issues. Unless you're Zola Budd, I'd suggest you think twice before losing the shoes completely.
In addition to Nike and Shoes4Africa, there are many shoes recycling programs across the country that you can tap into. Here are just a few that FitPlanet has worked with…

During marathon training, which I admit is a year-round activity, I workout six days a week. So that could mean six shirts, six jog bras, and six pairs of socks to wash and dry every week. That's the equivalent of an extra load of laundry week, or 52 extra loads a year.
I have found the key to keeping clothes stink free (or low stink) is to make sure they dry out between workouts. I do all my workouts from home which eliminates the post-workout sweaty gear getting stuffed in a bag to brew in a hot car. As soon as I get home I hang my sweaty clothes up to dry.
Through a remodeling quirk in my old New England home, I ended up with a one-foot wide-by-three-foot-long closet next to my shower. Go figure. So I put hooks along one wall and this serves as an ideal place to hang workout clothes between workouts. To allow for adequate ventilation I drilled holes in the door, so now the tiny closet is like a big locker. See the photo below.
This allows me to wear the same exercise apparel on repeated outings during a week. The shirt I bike in Monday is the same shirt I run in Tuesday and bike in again on Wednesday. Some weeks that shirt may get in a fourth workout on Thursday. It depends on the time of year and when it starts to get stinky. Like most folks I sweat more in the summer than in the winter.
According to at least two sources, about 75% to 80% of the environmental impact of an article of clothing comes from washing and drying. So by giving your clothes a second or third workout before washing you can significantly reduce your carbon footprint.
When my workout clothes do get washed it is in a front loading washer. The washer does an incredible job of spinning excess water out of the clothes, which makes drying quicker, which saves even more energy. I almost always hang my clothes to dry. In the summer I use clothes lines (see picture below) and in the winter I hang the clothes on hangers on a rod in my furnace room. As my uncle use to say "let God do the drying."
Your clothes will certainly suffer less wear and tear if they are line dried and all the wicking performance clothes we wear does not need as much time in the drier as it probably gets.
But as I first mentioned the biggest key to lowering the carbon footprint of your clothing is to wear your workout gear more than once (or twice). Find a place to put up a few hooks to easily hang your clothes to dry between wearing and use the time saved from not doing that extra load of laundry for something else, like extending your workout . Or even better still, for a little power resting.

Since my fellow Green Team Member Allison Lassoe wrote about staying hydrated during the race, I thought I would write about staying hydrated during training. In many ways, it can be easier to make this a green aspect of being a marathoner. After all, you have only so much control over how the race organizers hand out water, but you can decide how you get what you drink during a long run.
I train in New York's Central Park. Among its many, many virtues are the plentiful water fountains. From about March to November, they keep the runners, cyclists and less active park users from having to bring water with them to the park. There are 150 water fountains spread out through the 843 acres of park, and some of them form natural places for runners to congregate. One of my favorites can be found at the entrance at 90th Street and Fifth Avenue. As you can see from the picture above, runners use them both for drinking and for refilling any bottles they bring with them. If you look carefully, you can also see that there is a special fountain at the side for dogs.
So, if you're training somewhere like Central Park, with plenty of water fountains spaced at regular intervals, there is no need to bring bottled water with you, or, worse, buy a bottle from one of the vendors – I am always puzzled when I see people doing that.
But what if you don't train somewhere with well-maintained fountains? Get one installed. It may seem daunting, and it isn't going to happen everywhere, but unless someone asks, your local parks department is unlikely to act on its own. The one pictured below is on the west side of the Park and was donated by the "Marathoning and Pasta Club".
Maybe a local sponsor/politician/philanthropist might be convinced that installing a water fountain in the park where you run would be good for runners as well as good for the planet, considering that it could reduce the number of empty water bottles that end up in the landfill. While this might not be the most conventional way to make your training greener, marathoners don't always stick to convention.
By MCM Green Team Member Allison Lassoe
One of the classic images of a marathon is a water soaked street plastered with crushed cups. It is easy to do the math 25 water stops X 35,000 runners = 875,000 cups all used for a few sips of water.
I have used, crumpled, and tossed more than my share of cups in 38 marathon and countless other races. For a number of years and races I have made a decision to carry a hydration pack first because I found I could not drink enough in small sips at aid stations, second to guarantee that I have the sport drink of my choice and third I feel better about using about half the cups I would otherwise use.
I have typically taken a water cup at every other aid station, but I can usually only manage a few small sips, but my stomach does appreciate the mix of sports drinks and water.
For the Marine Corp Marathon I will be using a hydration pack as much as possible. On an average marathon I guess I drink 70 ounces of water and sports drink. I may need to stop a couple of times to fill up but each refill should only take a minute or two, not much different than a little walk break. But I already know that I save more time by carrying my own drinks and not having to weave in and out at every aid stations. It is nice to think about a marathon not being associated with aid stations of spilled water and a litter of cups.
I am really excited to know about all the Marine Corp Marathon is doing to reduce and recycle waste. The MCM reduced waste by 32% in one year. Now, if only I could do the same with my time.
Have your own ideas about reducing cup and water waste on the race course? Comment below.
On October 31, 2010, I will run my eleventh marathon. Growing up, I was not athletic. Indeed, you could say I was whatever the opposite of a high school track star would be, and I used to think that running marathons was something that other people did, people with a little more get up and go.
My brother ran the New York City Marathon every year, but in 1998 he injured his foot. I figured that the family should at least be represented at the event, so I volunteered at the finish line. As I watched the runners come through, I thought "I could do this." I joined the New York Road Runners Club, and the following November I finished my first marathon.
I ran the race again in 2000, and in 2006 I ran the Marine Corps Marathon instead, just to keep things fresh. I now alternate between the two events.
When I started to train for my first marathon, the NYRR had a great way of making the training seem doable. In addition to their regular race calendar, they scheduled a half marathon for the time in the summer when you should be able to run at least 13 miles. Later, they would have an 18-mile race, and finally a 20-mile training run. The increments between each race are not huge, but they build up to what is a big goal: running 26.2 miles.
People who want to be 'greener' can approach that goal the same way. Just as you would not decide one day to run a marathon and expect to be able to go the full distance the next weekend, you can't decided to be green one morning and wake up the next day generating no pollution and eliminating your carbon footprint.
You start with simple steps. Maybe you replace an incandescent bulb with a compact florescent lamp (CFL) and use less electricity. Don't even feel you have to change every light bulb in the house – just try one lamp and see how it feels. Once you get used to that, try switching out another, and so on, in the same way you might go for a four mile training run one week, and try running five the next.
You might even discover that some of the things you are doing are already green. With any luck, you will look at some of the suggestions I'll make over the next few weeks and realize that you are already training "green", a bit like Moliere's Bourgeois Gentilhomme who was so excited when he learned that his entire life he had been speaking in something called "prose."
Maybe you already carpool to races. Or skip the bottled water when there's a water fountain nearby. Or carry your own reusable bottle. Being green doesn't mean you have to completely transform your life any more than becoming a marathoner involves a complete change in your personality. But once you make those changes, you'll be proud of what you have become.
After my first marathon, I realized that if I could run 26.2 miles, anyone could do it with enough training (those with bad backs and injured knees excepted, I suppose). And if I can make my training greener, so can you.
I am very excited to be part of the MCM Green Team Challenge. Although I am always trying to be "green" sometimes the excitement of a marathon takes me out of my best green routine. For the 2010 Marine Corp Marathon I am ready to go for a "Green PR".
My personal environmental initiatives involve bicycling for transportation as much as possible. Even though I live in a rural part of the Berkshires in Western Massachusetts I can go for a week without driving my car. I do all the easy green things like recycle and use compact florescent light blubs. I had an energy audit of my house, which inspired me to get a more energy efficient refrigerator cutting my energy use by a third. I also hang my clothes outside to dry all year long and I carry a reusable water bottle to fill up when needed.
Recently I donated all my marathon metals to Medals4Mettle. It was harder than I thought to part with them, but it felt good to know they were going to people who have struggles that they overcome on a daily basis and don't get medals. When a race has a shoe recycling program I make a point of bringing in my old shoes. Again these are simple things runners can think about doing.
When I train I never drive my car to run or to bike. I have run over 37 marathons and that has upped my carbon footprint. Although I would love to run in more places I have tried to limit the number of plane trips I take to marathons. To travel to the MCM I will be biking, taking trains, or other public transportation.
When running I always carry a hydration pack, and supplement with some water cups on the course. But for MCM I will only be using a hydration pack and refilling as needed.
As I mentioned I have run 37 marathons to date and have more planned before the end of October. I ran my first marathon in 2002, but in the past two years I have run a marathon a month, with the goal of having a Boston Qualifying time as often as possible, I think I have run 21 qualifying races. I am also trying to run marathons I have not run before. Luckily there are a lot of great choices within driving distance.
I have found that only running three days a week and cross training three days has made me a stronger runner and less prone to injuries. I follow the FIRST Train Plan. Also getting to bike three days a week allows me to run errands on my bike while getting in a workout.
I am a proud member of the Marathon Maniacs and have enjoyed being part of a great running community. Running a marathon is a great achievement and the Marine Corp Marathon, being the "People's Marathon," is certainly a marathon highlight for anyone.
I am proud to be representing all runners who strive to be green in life and in races and having the MCM focus on green running will make it an even better experience for everyone (and the planet).
Thinking about being "green" is like thinking about running a marathon, you should not think "how am I going to stop global warming?" the same way you don't think "how can I run 26.2 miles?"
You start training to run a marathon by getting out of the house for a 10 minute walk and you start being more environmentally active by using one compact florescent light blub. When you realize the first step doable then focus on the second step and one day you are leaving less of a carbon footprint and crossing under the finish banner.
The Marine Corps Marathon and FitPlanet are pleased to announce that Allison Lassoe, of Shefield Massachusetts, and Christopher Stephens, of New York City, have been selected for the Marine Corps Marathon Green Team.
The two were chosen based on their commitments to training and racing green from among the entrants in the Green Team Challenge. As members of the MCM Green Team, Lassoe and Stephens will blog on the FitPlanet Green Team page about their training. Also, they will participate in a Green Team press conference at the Marine Corps Marathon Expo on Friday, October 29.
For being selected to the Green Team, Allison and Christopher will receive a free entry in the 2010 Marine Corps Marathon, a pair of Brooks Green Silence, a performance racing shoe made from recycled and other earth-friendly components as well as a Nathan Hydration Pak that they will wear during the Marine Corps Marathon. Brining your own bottle helps conserve water and reduce waste.
In addition, the carbon emissions from their travel to and from the race will be offset by NativeEnergy, a recognized leader in offering services that reduce carbon emissions. Other prizes include a tote made from MCM recycled banners by Prior Life and other items from MCM sponsors such as Dasani.
Our hope is that Allison's and Christopher's blogging will inspire and motivate other runners to consider the environment as they train for and run the 2010 Marine Corps Marathon.
Seattle race composts 550,000 cups from start to finish. Competitor Group partners with FitPlanet to create sustainability program for the Rock 'n' Roll Series..
Here's the release that FitPlanet issued on Friday July 30…
July 30, 2010 – Athletes for a Fit Planet LLC, a leading provider of environmental services to athletic events, is excited to announce that the Seattle Rock 'n' Roll Marathon & 1/2 Marathon has set what FitPlanet believes is a new industry record for "greening" large-scale road races by composting 550,000 aid-station paper cups weighing 2.4 tons. The race, which took place June 26th and included more than 21,000 runners, was able to divert 9.6 tons of waste from landfill.
"We are very pleased with the greening efforts at this year's Rock 'n' Roll Seattle Marathon & ½ Marathon," said Anton Villatoro, Vice President of Operations, Competitor Group Inc., which owns and operates the 14-race Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series. "This is just the beginning and shows what's possible as we make a commitment to embark on our journey towards sustainability."
The Seattle Rock 'n' Roll Marathon & ½ Marathon recycled and composted 68% of the 14.2 tons of waste produced on race day. (See chart below.) This included recycling 5.8 tons of plastic, paper, cardboard and other materials, and composting 3.8 tons of food and compostable materials including the aid-station cups. The recycling effort included collecting over 50,000 plastic bottles at the finish line festival at the Qwest Field, home of the Seattle Seahawks.
"The total amount of waste sent to the landfill was just 0.42 lbs per runner, which is a significant accomplishment," said Bruce Rayner, FitPlanet's Chief Green Officer. "Anything under half-a-pound is world-class performance for a race of this size."
Rock 'n' Roll Seattle's commitment to sustainability went beyond the race to include the two-day Health & Fitness Expo at Qwest Event Center. The expo hosted more than a hundred retailers and thousands of visitors over two days and recycled over 5 tons of cardboard, paper, plastics, metal, and other materials, according to Juan Escalante, General Manager, ARAMARK Sports, Entertainment and Conventions, at Qwest Field and Event Center, which manages the complex's facility services and recycling program.
"Integrating such a comprehensive waste diversion plan into a race of this size and complexity required significant coordination between race operations, waste services providers, facilities management at Qwest Center, and of course the race-day volunteers," said Rayner. "What we accomplished is a testament to Competitor Group's commitment to sustainability."
The Seattle Rock 'n' Roll Marathon's green program kicks off a formal relationship between Competitor Group and FitPlanet to develop a long-term sustainability plan for greening the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon Series and other Competitor Group events.
"Competitor Group is committed to making our events more environmentally sustainable," said Villatoro. "We are looking forward to working with FitPlanet to create a long-term plan that we'll roll out over time at all our events."

There's all ready a thread on this here: how many rounds do you shoot per range visit
Im curious as to how many rounds you guys shoot when you go to the range. Lately I have been shooting 300 a time and I got once a week. Is that alot or not?
Depends on the gun.
Cenerfires I'll shoot 50-100 rounds each caliber
Rimfire, Hundreds. I really don't count
300 is a good number, if that is quality practice, and once a week is great. I wish I could afford to do it myself.
Lately, I've been doing a few five round sets with two or three of my centerfire guns, about three reloads on the flop-down silhouettes with the 1911 I carry the most often, and a 100-200 rounds of .22 with a full size and a compact size pistol. And I only go once or twice a month.
300 rounds a week for 52 weeks is 15,600 rounds at roughly 0.40cents per round... that's $6240.00 a year in ammo!
I reload, and I generally don't spend that much on ammo every year. (Except this year... I'm a bit over $7k with preparation for a carbine/pistol class I'm taking next April)
Besides, it's not about quantity, it's about quality. I'd rather go out and shoot 50 quality, learnable shots rather than blast thru 300 just throwing lead down range.
I'd say the more important issue at hand is "Do you have a training plan when you go out shooting or are you just burning powder?"
Most of my targets look like this. This was at 25 feet. I need to get my groups a bit tighter, but that was with two mags.
Also, Im usually at the range for 2-3 hours at a time
I didnt vote in the poll because i shoot less than 100 rounds per visit to my range on the edge of my yard that i visit almost daily and sometimes several times daily. I probably shoot several hundred rounds some weeks out of several different firearms , and other weeks less than fifty.
I said 200 rounds, but it really depends on what guns I take with me.
I usually take 3 handguns to the range and I get a kick out of shooting some of my .22 cal, so when I take them to the range, then it is litterly XXX hundred rounds of .22
If they are center fire - then it's fewer rounds.
Well I think .22 would be fun due to price per round. I cant wait to me a .22. Ill probally shoot alot less 9mm rounds when thats the case
2-300 between Laurie and I. 3 guns, my 40, her 9, and her .22. That's at the indoor range we belong to. She shoots 1 mag at each of 6 targets trying to close her groups. I shoot very deliberately for accuracy on 6 targets, one mag each then stick up 6 more and shoot 2 each at opposite corners for target acquisition. I've tried 2 quick shots intermittently, right now that's a waste. Next is shooting weak hand only.
I just bought an AR 15 so I've been concentrating on that one at the other range I belong to. It's an outdoor local conservation club. Several ranges, 2 handgun, skeet w/2 auto launchers, an archery area, and a 50&100 yd rifle range. Completely self sufficient, very affordable and although I've belonged for 3 months and the rifle range has 8 stations w/tables I've never seen more than 2-3 others. Very uncrowded, very safe, and I've met some great people.
Like others have said, it's not about wasting lead, it's about shooting well. Period. If you're not getting better you're wasting your time and taking up space. I'd be interested to hear about others training at the range, think I'll go upstairs and start a thread.
reduce fatigue and ammo prices
On the centerfire guns 50-100 rounds and on the 22 rimfire as much as time will allow and the number of guns taken.
100 rounds target ammo through my carry gun, Taurus PT140, need to keep my skills sharp. Plus at least one mag(10 rounds) of defense ammo.
100 rounds through our practice gun, Sig Mosquito, just because its fun to shoot.
I will start to carry our S&W model 36 3" and probably put about 50 rounds through it to become more proficent shooting DA with a wheel gun.
As many as I can find, and can afford...
However, I do agree with zhurdan... Quality v Quantity...
Junk rounds downrange are a waste of time and money $$$... Quantity means almost nothing, if you can't hit what you're aiming at...
What I do find though, as an instructor, is that not enough people train /practice at all, especially when they need to qualify for their jobs to carry a firearm. I have sent a many of officers to re-training, or re-qualifying to keep their carry status active. I have even sent a few home for non-quals... That hurts the pocketbook $$$...
What is a joke is that some shooters, or should I say non-shooters, feel that if they qualified once with another agency or company, they shouldn't have to do it again...
I say BS to that, and tell them to get in line, following their classroom instruction on marksmanship skills...

Usually less than 100, but I take my time and try to get good results.
I normally take two or more pistols with me and I like to shoot at least one box through each pistol so it is between 100 and 200 rounds. I voted 200.
But I think I am going to start just taking my carry gun and run a couple boxes in the future.
Maybe a couple times a year take the others out. But I want more trigger time on my carry gun.
I usually take two guns and 200 rounds. Only been shooting 9mm lately due to cost of .45.

Sort of. He said that in the main -ation series, after revalation will be Expansion. That will be the big wrap-up to all current plot threads. After about 40 main issues that sounds like a rather appropriate place to cleane house and move forward to me.

Excellent 4.1 /5 from 52 reviews
I highly recommend Marina Turquesa. The apartment was very large and clean. The staff was very helpful and pleasant. There is a nice pool for when you want to enjoy the beautiful weather, but don't want to go to the beach.
I stayed 2 nights, it is a great place to take rest. Calm and clean but if you don't have a car, it may be not convenient to get beaches. Reception was greatly kind. Thanks a lot.
This was a great find. We were able to do a load of laundry and hang our clothes which dryed by the time we left the next day. Hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Was nice to have a kitchen! Didn't use the pools so not too sure about that. Only complaint was the shower was basically a hand held nozzle. Very difficult for someone with long hair to shampoo and rinse.
Fantastic stay staff was heat and very helpful. Room was spotless. The only problem we had there was no spare pillows and me having one pillow means not much sleep but ah am on my holiday you don't won't to sleep to much. Will definitely go back and highly recommend. We didn't use any facilities as we where out most of the time.
Stayed at Nerja in July 2015 for 10 days. Arrived at night and agreed to pick up the key from the other Hotel nearby, because there is nobody at Turquesa after mid night. Everything went fine, apart from a tiny detail - the beds were prepared only for 2 of us, not for 2 kids also travelling with us. When we mentioned this in the morning, the answer was a bit odd; "Well - you are not truly our customers... you bought the stay through Hotels.com... How could we know...". I only later learnt to understand that the staff in the Hotel was not truly up to their tasks overall. Although the hotel is tidy and rooms are comfortably equipped, many little details spoilt the overall image; The one small bottle of shampoo was ridiculous, toilet paper ended after first day, washing-up liquid was only for couple of cups etc - luckily the supermarket was nearby. The location of the hotel is relatively remote. Walk to the beach is doable, but climbing up to the hill in the sunshine is pretty hard job. Also the city centre is within a walking distance, but you may want to take the taxi back. The same company who runs the hotel, also rents cars. These are quite well priced, but I'd avoid at least the B-class cars (don't know the others). I got once an Indian made Tata, which felt even dangerous to drive. So, Basically recommended with some reservations. Good place for a family who is prepared to walk long distances. Excellent supermarket nearby and a nice pool for everyone to use.

Modern U.S. Combat Shotguns and Hornady TAP 00 Buckshot
By Christopher R. Bartocci
Shotguns have always been a fighting weapon for the US military although not often seen. They serve roles such as defense, offensive, breaching as well as deploying less than lethal ammunition such as bean bag loads. In law enforcement, every car had a shotgun.
That has changed in favor of the patrol carbine. Though is that one projectile is easier to account for than 8 or 9. Law enforcement also faces the threat of suspects/active shooters wearing body armor. In this case the penetration power of the 5.56mm round is certainly more appropriate than buckshot or slugs. High capacity magazines with 5.56mm ammunition put a patrol officer in the position to deal with an active shooter when traditionally armed officers with shotguns would have to wait for SWAT to arrive. However in military application, the shotgun stands out as devastating firepower at close range. In urban combat, shotguns are used for breaching. What this means is blowing locked doors off of their hinges or blowing the lock out so the soldiers can gain entrance.
Over the last 50 or so years, shotguns have been visible in military operations such as Vietnam, Panama, Gulf War 1 as well as the Global War on Terrorism. Looking at this time period you may think of a tunnel rat in Vietnam with a sawed off Ithaca shotgun. Today there are several shotguns in service but what we will look at are two of the general purpose shotguns in current service. The Mossberg 590/590A1pump action and the Benelli M1014 semi-automatic shotgun are the most prevalent in the inventory.
As early as 1979, the Mossberg 500 and 590 pump action shotguns were accepted when they successfully passed the Mil Spec 3443 testing. In 1992, Mossberg was awarded the contract for the 590A1 shotgun. This contract was spearheaded by the Navy. In the mid-2000's the shotgun would be made available to the commercial market. Two major changes of the 590A1 over the predecessors is the use of an aluminum trigger guard and safety.
The 590 has a 18.5 inch barrel...

Eileen Fisher Organic Cotton Ballet-Neck Dress - Regular is rated out of 5 by 902.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Liza9 from My favorite Eileen Fisher Dress This is my 3rd organic cotton ballet-neck dress. I have two in charcoal, and one black. They have a pretty ballet neckline, and can be accessorized with jewelry and scarves, to make them more dressy or casual. These dresses have held their shape and color through many washings, and are super-comfortable. I can't recommend them enough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mcoverseas from Summer "go to" dress It was finally warm enough for me to wear the dress yesterday and I knew instantly that this will be my most worn item this summer. Soft, flattering and simple. A necklace or scarf makes me look put together even though I feel like I'm wearing my pjs! Pricey but I'd say it's an essential piece - helps you pack light. I'm 5'9 150 lbs w a mom belly and the small fits well... maybe a little tight around the arms.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Njwalker from Very Nice Although I really liked the dress and material, it was just too big for me. I returned it with regret.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JenaferH from Love this dress! I love this dress! This is my third color. I've bought one every summer for the past two summers and this year decided I had to cave and buy it in black. I wear all three (graphite, navy, and black) all the time and it can be dressed up or down Love it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Duli from Great dress! I already have this dress in grey and in black. Great fit, easy to dress up or down and wonderfully comfortable. I hope it will one day be available in additional colors.
Date published: 2017-05-18
What is the neck like, really? Are bra straps that show a problem at all?
I just purchased two of these dresses and wear one right now with a more problematic bra - the straps do not show at all, no worries! The neckline is flattering, but not revealing in any way!
Date published: 2015-08-16
how long - in inches is this dress? also branch seems to be a greyish color, correct?
Our garment measurements show that the length of this dress from the shoulder seam ranges from 37 and 3/8 inches to 39 and 7/8 inches depending on the size.
Date published: 2017-04-28
How do you keep the dress from clinging to the leggings with having to wear a slip?
It feels plenty loose yet as I move my legs cling to the fabric and also in the back. It is not static cling, definately the two fabrics. Hate to have to wear a slip!
I wear silky panties over the leggings to prevent clingyness. It works.
Date published: 2013-10-22
Can this dress be worn without leggings?
How does this dress look without leggings. I am thinking about the summer and what the best summer look with be. I am 5'8" and about 150 #
Sure, though I like it better with leggings.
Date published: 2013-10-22
I'm def a 6, not a 4, but also not an 8. I am tall, 5'11. What size is best and why doesn't this come in a tall or long size?
I think the normal sizes would be great for you (to my taste, they run a bit large AND long). Give your usual sizes, a size S should be really good. Just take another look at the measurements, though.

Part Exchange makes family move complete
After months of searching for just the right home, Nichola Nash, 31, and her partner Alastair King, 30, were left feeling that their ideal property just didn't exist.
Along with their two young children, the couple have now moved in to a four-bedroom terraced home, and were so taken with the quality of the development, they bought a second property to rent out.
Nichola explained: "We spent months and many precious hours, particularly at weekends, viewing different homes but never found anything that we felt suited our family needs. With our property on the market, we were getting extremely despondent and worried that we wouldn't be able to sell our existing home when we did find somewhere.
"While driving past Linden's re:fresh development one day, it occurred to us that a new-build home could provide us with the space and low-maintenance lifestyle that we wanted.
"Even better, after we viewed the show home we discovered that we could move in effortlessly through Linden's Part-Exchange scheme. This really appealed to us as it meant we wouldn't have to worry about selling our existing home and could just concentrate on moving in to our new one."
Adrian Bird, Linden Homes sales director commented: "Our 100-per-cent Part-Exchange scheme is a cost-effective and easy way to get moving and enables purchasers to buy and sell in one quick and easy, hassle-free move. We use local estate agents to carry out valuations and our Part Exchange* offer of 100-per-cent market value is made within seven days. There is no chain and no estate agents fees for buyers to pay – we take care of everything."
Nicola adds: "We're delighted with our new home, it has all the space that we could possibly need, a good-sized garden and an en suite master bedroom for our own privacy.
"Because of the location and quality of the homes, we easily rented out our coach house and as we live so close to all the local amenities, we actually sold one of our cars.
"From beginning to end, the home-buying process with Linden was effortless and we had moved in just 28 days with no hitches.
"I would highly recommend Part Exchange as an easy way to get moving. The seamless transition from one home to another, for us, was faultless.
"Thanks to Linden, we now have two fantastic new homes in the perfect location for our family."

1987 Allante retoration parts needed....Windlace
Well the 1987 is out of the brake shop and the interior is gutted. Waiting for the sound deadner to arrive for re-installation of the carpet.
I'm looking for the body side windlace to replace the aged and infirm... The color of the maroon trim inner has bleached out from sun on the windshield pillars and the passenger side has a rip in the rubber.
Has anyone got a lead on this material or a similar compatible windlace? Assuming this stuff was Pinninfarina there's no telling where it might be from or if it was common to other PF cars of the era.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Re: 1987 Allante retoration parts needed....Windlace
Hi Glen ,The windlace from the 87 Buick Reatta or the Riviera may be the right size and should be the same colour. I do not know what parts but the Allante' does use parts from the Reatta/Riviera/Olds-Toronado ,Eldorado-engine and chassis.Steele rubber reproduction may have some of these parts I have not used their catalog since 1990 .Ed M.

Gus Van Sant's Promised Land is an old fashioned blue collar drama set in rural Pennsylvania.
Based on a story by novelist Dave Eggers, the film is a polemic against "fracking" (the controversial mining technique) but its eco-arguments are couched in deliberately low key and folksy style. Van Sant's pared down storytelling is effective and initially moving, even if the film is ultimately undermined by its absurd final reel contrivances.
Matt Damon (back with the director who helped make his name in Good Will Hunting) plays Steve Butler, a young salesman for a big, bad energy company called Global.
He and his colleague Sue Thomason (Frances McDormand in a largely thankless role) turn up in the sleepy, depressed farming town McKinley. They offer the townsfolk small fortunes for their land, which they want to drill. They reassure these townsfolk that there are no side effects. If they sell up to Global, they will be able to pay their bills, improve their schools and afford their kids' college fees.
Of course, the reality isn't nearly as rosy as Global pretends.
The casting is very sly. Damon is in his American everyman mode as Butler. He is projects integrity and decency, even if he is the representative of the huge corporation that is threatening to poison the land.
Pitted against Damon's Butler is a high school science teacher (Hal Holbrook), a patrician who warns that "fracking" might not be as safe and harmless as Global suggests and insists the town puts the issues to a vote.
Promised Land may be a "message" movie but it isn't too strident or preachy. The screenplay (co-written by Damon) tries its best to create involving drama around Butler's relationships with the townsfolk. He is drawn to a pretty and irreverent school teacher (Rosemary DeWitt), with whom he gets monstrously drunk.
Just when Butler and Thomason seem to have won the town over, a freewheeling, hippy environmental activist (John Krasinski) arrives and begins to campaign against them. He shows the townsfolk images of poisoned livestock and tells heartrending stories about the effects of "fracking" on his own family.
The idea behind Promised Land was presumably to engage audiences who would have been alienated by an earnest documentary on the same subject. Van Sant and his collaborators go out of their way not to be overly didactic. Sadly, though, longer the film progresses, though, the more contrived it becomes.
If Promised Land had been made in an earlier era in Hollywood history, you could imagine Gary Cooper or James Stewart playing Matt Damon's role, perhaps with a socially conscious director like Frank Capra or John Ford directing. Such filmmakers wouldn't have been embarrassed about using screwball comedy conventions or lurching toward melodrama. Unfortunately, for all his craftsmanship, Van Sant deals with his material here in a way that is ultimately just a little too dry and sober.
We know all along that Damon will get to give his big monologue and that the arguments against "fracking" will eventually hold sway. The disappointment is that the very obvious finale is reached in such a clumsy way.

Your Salesman in Print
Hi, it's the killer Copywriter's home you've reached!
It's no accident that brought you here…it's more a conviction that this Copywriter, this salesman in print, can help you sell your great stuff.
Cheers to the fact that you've realized that prospects can be influenced to buy, and here's how I'll do it;
- Get prospects to believe you have the perfect solution to their need – others do to – but yours is even better
- Transfer your belief in your product to your prospective customer – because belief drives desire
- Help prospects visualize their desires – see how your stuff can really benefit them
All of the above is born of my natural ability to Empathize – a salesman's weapon – which is to understand the other person's underlying urges, and use that knowledge to the mutual advantage of both. Your prospect will want to buy and you will have a sale.
Remember, there is no sale if the outcome is not visualized by the prospect.
You need more convincing about why I claim to be able to sell with the printed word? Head over to my About page and read for yourself.

|ActiveMQ 5.2 messages with Time to Live sent straight to DLQ
|Tue, 13 Oct 2009 15:04:10 GMT
ActiveMQ 5.2 messages with Time to Live sent straight to DLQ I am experiencing difficulties with the messaging infrastructure I am developing. I have a situation where message expiration does not work correctly on one broker for the request/response messaging pattern. I am using ActiveMQ 5.2.0 (stable release) and writing code in C# (.net 2.0) using Spring.net 1.3.0 RC1. I have three brokers, which is the begining of a hub/spoke network of brokers. Hub: Windows 2003 Server R2 SP2, Java 1.6.0_7 Spoke A: Windows XP SP3, Java 1.6.0_7 Spoke B: Windows 2003 Server R2 SP2, Java 1.6.0_7 The spokes have the same network connector setting in the ActiveMq.xml file: <networkConnector name="NHSBT.BASE.NDCVB111" uri="static://(tcp://ndcvb111:61616)" networkTTL="7" duplex="true" dynamicOnly="false"/> All the PC clocks are synchronised. I have a consumer console application on the spokes and a sender application on the hub. All messages set with an expiry of 10 secods are sent to the localhost broker and I let ActiveMQ manage the forwarding of messages to the correct destination broker. When I send a message to a queue from the Sender application on the Hub broker to Broker A, I receive the expected responses from the consumer. And when the consumer running on Broker A is shutdown, any messages waiting in the queue on Broker A expire as expected. Although when I send messages from Sender application on the Hub Broker (on a different queue) to Broker B, the message goes straight into the DLQ on Broker B. This is not what I expected or want. I have trawled relevant message boards and seen some old posts mentioning some issues surrounding the Time To Live property in terms of converting between java and .net date types and whether relative or absolute times are being used. To this affect I have tried changing the Time To Live to a large number e.g. 40000000000 and my messages get through to the queue on Broker B, but consequently they do not expire when the consumer is offline.

Mayhem # 2627927
About MeMy name is Andrea but i'm known as Ginger(President) for shootings and other things i done in the past and right now.
My image is my mirror,sometimes faithful and sometimes not. I'm a cocktail of end 60s/70s rock glam,rock progressive/80s pop gothic and a touch of girl bands of the 90s. Music,writing and images guide me shoot by shoot and i'm very into"conceptual" photography. I like androgyny and the constrasts between man and woman but i don't want all shootings to be like this,obviously. Change and try many different things in which i can measure myself.
ModelMayhem can be a good opportunity to find great photographers to work with. I'm serious and professional :)

This rural region of Malaysia is one of the most pleasant, easy-going countries to visit in South-East Asia. Several decades of sustained economic growth and political stability have made it one of the most buoyant and wealthy countries in the region, based on a vibrant and interesting fusion of Malay, Chinese, Indian and indigenous cultures and customs.
Most visitors to Malaysia stay close to the Peninsula, where the exhilaration of Kuala Lumpur is offset by the soothing Cameron Highlands hill station or the tranquillity of Langkawi. If you can, make the journey to Sarawak or Sabah, on the island of East Malaysia, to sample their spectacular wildlife, long houses and the awe-inspiring Mt Kinabalu.
East coast Malaysia stuns you with White sandy beaches, towering coconut groves and rubber plantations, and charming dainty kampung houses. A place of relaxation, East coast Malaysia is a place where the only noise to be heard is the gushing waves of the ocean onto the shore.

chapter 1 page 6-7Mature
William wondered where he would settle down. He couldn't keep running forever. He had a good knowledge of geography and other nations so it was conceivable that he could leave the country if he wished. One man slipping past the boarder was hardly a great task. But where would he go?
Florais was one option, though not much of one. The only people that flourished there was the nobles – most of the lower class were serfs and the few merchants that existed there were treated as outcasts. Albion was another option, it was a fairly easy going place and it wasn't too much different from the Viimarch aside from the terrain. Then there was Eraine – but William doubted he could even reach the island let alone land on its shores. He didn't fancy his chances in any nations further afield than that.
His thoughts came back to him as he reached Hemmal's town wall. The guards let him pass without incident. It wasn't like he had enough room to smuggle anything and he wasn't carrying any contraband weapons – most of which would have been perfectly visible no matter how he would have tried to hide them.
Soon he was out on the open road again. He liked it when he was on the move. There was always more to see. It was lonesome but there was always more to see. He felt freedom with the movement of his slightly ponderous mount and the slight breeze in his face. He laughed – he could say goodbye to that if he ever fled to Albion, its coastal position guaranteeing that it would instead be an icy sleet.
Two days passed as he rode out from Hemmal and he'd camped for both of them. It would be another two before he cleared the outskirts of the Drachwald. The massive forest was the setting of many fantasies and some much darker tales. It stretched for just over two thousand miles and it was impossible to navigate through. It stopped any trade between Viimarch and Nisice, the nation on the other side.
On the morning of the third day he stopped in the middle of the road, paralyzed. His normally unshakable mount also stood stock still with fear. There was a wolf. A singular wolf... but this one was huge. If it had stood shoulder to shoulder with his pony it would have been bigger. Its pelt was the colour of an early winter frost on granite. Its icy eyes were fixed upon them.
It took a moment for William to realise that there was a young girl sat upon it. Her blonde hair was a mess, entangled with twigs and leaves. Her clothes were woven from leaves and vines. William was still with fear as she approached them, though through the numbness of his mind he still found he could question things... like why hadn't his pony bolted on sight from the wolf alone?
On closer inspection the little pony seemed entirely unafraid, with not even the slightest hesitation of approaching the giant wolf. William's fear ebbed away as it gave way to confusion and then to curiosity. From the look of the girl she was waiting for them. Her eyes were fixed on him as he moved closer and closer until he could see her amber eyes fixed on him.

Beautiful earrings! She also sent a personalized thank you card and I received them in 24 hours! :)
My Story
My name is Ana Karina Rodriguez; my maiden name Camacho. I was born in Mexicali, Mexico, a city on the border with California. After meeting my husband in Mexico and moving to the US, I experienced my first life changing moment: the birth of my first daughter. I enjoyed staying home and raising my daughter, but even then I felt a need for a creative outlet.
I began reselling jewelry from Mexico, but soon I thought that maybe I could make it better myself. I attended some jewelry classes with the goal of developing a style of jewelry style that was creative, challenging and unique from other items already on the market. My favorite materials are rhinestones and crystal brooches, glass pearls and everything sparkly. These items inspire a feeling of Elegance, Sophistication and Uniqueness and I have worked to include these concepts in my designs.
Currently I enjoy selling my designs directly to friends and online through Etsy. I have sold and shipped jewelry across the entire US as well as internationally to locations such as Canada, Ireland, Australia, England, Singapore, etc. I have participated in two fashion shows: Scottsdale Fashion Week Community Night on November, 2010 and at A Fashion Statement to End Domestic Violence Fashion Show on March, 2012. Fashion Shows are a great experience and have created opportunities for me to learn more about the industry and build valuable relationships with fashion contacts.
My goal is to expand awareness of my designs to help me reach as many customers as possible through outlets such as magazine publications, fashion shows and internet blogs. Likewise, I would love to start selling my jewelry at local boutiques and maybe expand my line to retailers across the country. Why not?

Alistair P. Fletcher
Name: Alistair P. Fletcher
Power: none.
I growled. They'd see soon enough.
Species: Human
Description: Large stature, thick features. Long, black, greasy ponytail. Dark-brown eyes. An almost-permanent scowl.
Reason for coming to Writer's Block: Lack of storyline
Story: The Heart of a Hero
I looked around at the blank world around me again and roared. I had been within inches of finally extinguishing that impudent whelp and retaining the high status I deserved when...
Sorcerers. It had to be. Nothing else could explain my perdicament. How had they done it?
On second thought, how had he done it? They had always struck me as selfish, somber folk. Five minutes with that lad would've driven them through the roof. No, it had to be something else. But whatever that something was, I was sure it was illegal--and the perfect bait to lure his highness into finally seeing things my way.
Yes, that was it. As soon as I escaped this 'Writer's Block' I'd bring the case before the king. It would be the perfect intro to all the other warnings I had been trying to give him about the lad's more shady past. And then we'd see just how honorable the notorious Mr. Maxwell was...
