The Corpse Bride - DVD Release
Voice Cast: Johnny Depp - Victor Van Dort, Helena Bonham Carter - Corpse Bride
Tim Burton's Corpse Bride is aptly named. While far from perfect, it's probably the purest example of the director's vision in recent years. Freed from the pressure of having to make a summer blockbuster or remain faithful to source material, Burton and his co-director Mike Johnson (along with an extremely talented cast and crew) have crafted a beautiful and bittersweet fairytale.
Buy these and other great movie and TV posters from MovieGoods.com®
Taking a Jewish folk tale as its inspiration, the film tells the story of a touching romantic triangle between the nervous Victor, the downtrodden Victoria, and the Corpse Bride herself, Emily. Victoria's parents only want her married so they can get to Victor's money, while Victor himself doesn't seem ready for marriage, as we witness in an amusing rehearsal scene where he almost burns the house down. When Victor goes into the woods to practice his vows and inadvertently proposes to the Corpse Bride, he finds himself whisked away with her to the land of the dead. Victor is terrified at first and just wants to escape, but, as with Halloweentown in The Nightmare Before Christmas, the ghoulish-looking denizens are actually far more lively and loveable than the people in our world. The fast moving plot finds Victor gradually overcoming his fear and falling for the Corpse Bride, while Victoria, believing she has been abandoned, is forced to marry the vile Barkis. The land of the living and the dead come together, and it's surprisingly touching to see the fear of the living give way to joy at being briefly reunited with their dead loved ones. The Corpse Bride finally finds peace and her murder is avenged (the identity of her murder probably won't be a surprise to most people). The resolution of the love triangle may not please everyone, but the final scene manages to be more genuinely moving than the rather saccharine ending to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

There's nothing too surprising or deep about the story, though it's refreshing to see a love triangle where both women are decent and arguably more capable than the hero. Corpse Bride may not offer anything really new, but it's a simple story well told, with all the magic that Burton brings to his best movies. While there are plenty of amusing moments in the film (including an unexpected Gone With the Wind reference), the biggest surprise is that it's played straight for the most part, with the puppet characters given almost as much weight as flesh and blood actors. There's also some wonderfully romantic moments, such as when Victor and the Corpse Bride play the piano together.
Although Corpse Bride is paced well for the most part, some people might feel shortchanged by the running time. The film is 76 minutes long, and it feels even shorter. It's disappointing that Warner Bros. didn't take advantage of this and attach a short animation to the beginning of the film, as Disney did with Nightmare. Aside from that small complaint, and the lack of development of some of the characters, the film is a fine achievement in most areas.

The voice work is very good across the board. Depp plays a nervous Englishman almost as well as Hugh Grant. Carter is even better as the Corpse Bride, bringing real emotion to the character. Watson is very sweet as Victoria. Christopher Lee's thunderous voice is put to great effect as an impatient Pastor, and it's wonderful to hear another Burton regular, 87-year old Michael Gough, voicing Elder Gutknecht, a wise inhabitant of the underworld. On the villainous side, Grant's Barkis, along with Albert Finney and Joanna Lumley as Mr. and Mrs. Everglot, are all superbly hiss-able. There's also amusing voice work by British comedians such as Paul Whitehouse (from The Fast Show, one of Depp's favorite TV series) and Tracy Ullman. Last but not least, Danny Elfman provides the voice for the singing skeleton, Bonejangles.

Visually the film is nearly flawless. The contrast between the grey, drab world of the living and the colorful land of the dead works superbly. The stop motion work is as good as any I've seen in classic Ray Harryhausen films (watch for an amusing reference to him with the name of the piano Victor is seen playing near the beginning), with only the tiniest of CG enhancements to bring it into the 21st Century. The expressions on the characters are so lifelike it's easy to forget you're watching puppets.

Where find printable calendar 2015?
From Homo erectus to the present day - more than a million years of history in just one year of lessons. For three hours a week - 105 hours over the year - we edged towards the 20th Century. When Oracle?? database backup and recovery user s guide 10g returned recently to my old school, Sacred Heart in Tokyo, teachers told me they often have to start printabpe, near the end of the year, to make sure they have time for Calenda War II. Printable calendar 2015 was one page on other events leading up to the Sino-Japanese war in 1937 - including one line, in a footnote, about the massacre that took place when Japanese forces invaded Nanjing - the Nanjing Massacre, or Rape of Nanjing. There was also just one sentence on the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I wanted to know more, but was not quite eager enough to delve into the subject in my spare time.

Mitigating Risks of the IT Disaster Recovery Test
The IT Disaster Recovery Test as part of the Business Continuity testing is becoming an annual event for most IT departments. It is mandated by a lot of regulators, nearly insisted upon by internal audit and ofcourse a very healthy thing to do.
But performing the IT DRP test without proper risk management can put your organization at significant risk.
To put things into perspective, let's analyze the steps, risks and countermeasures of an IT Disaster Recovery test:
|DRP Test Step
|1. Failure of primary systems
|In order to perform a disaster situation, the Primary systems need to be caused to fail on some level
|2. Activation of Disaster Recovery systems
|Severing any relation between the DR and the primary systems and running the DR systems as temporary primary
|3. Reconfiguring the user environment
|Intervening in the end-user environment in a way that will make them use the DR system
|4. Reverting to the primary systems
|Resuming the primary systems at some level and reestablishing the relation between the DR and the primary systems
With all these risks, is it more prudent to never perform an IT DRP test? - Absolutely NOT, and here is why:
- Performing the IT DRP test actually confirms that things are running, and if something breaks, you are much more prepared for the next time.
- Not performing the test will just make you think everything is great, until the incident occurs. And the incident is just as certain as death and taxes
Talkback and comments are most welcome

A senior House Democrat on Monday alleged that Republicans want the short-term debt increase in order to kill the economic recovery and blame President Obama for high unemployment.
House Natural Resources Committee ranking member Edward MarkeyEd MarkeyDems push for more action on power grid cybersecurity Dem senator: Trump 'doesn't respect' the presidency Overnight Regulation: Labor groups fear rollback of Obama worker protection rule | Trump regs czar advances in Senate | New FCC enforcement chief MORE (D-Mass.) on Monday said that a two-stop approach being weighed by House Speaker John BoehnerJohn BoehnerRyan reminds lawmakers to be on time for votes Juan Williams: GOP fumbles on healthcare The Hill's 12:30 Report MORE (R-Ohio) to force another debt-ceiling vote next year was a "cynical" ploy to keep a cloud over the economy.
He went on to say the showdown over the size of the debt limit increase will be "because of their plan to not end [the crisis] now, but to have it end sometime before the next election to basically make it very difficult to have an effective economic recovery."
Markey spoke at a press conference held to highlight the flaws Democrats see in the 2012 Interior and Environment appropriations bill moving to the House floor later Monday. It is by far the most controversial of the 2012 spending bills considered so far, and contains 39 "anti-environmental" riders, according to Democrats.
At the same press conference, House Appropriations Committee ranking member Norm Dicks (D-Wash.), who has a history of cordial relations with GOP appropriators, distanced himself from Markey's remarks.
"I honestly think they believe what they are saying, that cutting spending will grow the economy. … I do not think their intent is to harm the economy," he said when asked to comment on what Markey said.
Dicks emphasized that the effect of GOP cuts will nonetheless harm the economy, and said more attention needs to be paid in the ongoing negotiations over the debt ceiling to short-term stimulus measures to create jobs.
Dicks declined to say whether he could accept a debt-ceiling compromise that does not contain revenues. Such a plan is being floated by Senate Majority Leader Harry ReidHarry ReidWarren cautions Dems against infighting Dems see surge of new candidates Dems to grind Senate to a halt over ObamaCare repeal fight MORE (D-Nev.), according to sources.
At the same press conference, Rep. Jim MoranJim MoranTrump can help farmers by improving two-way trade with Cuba Former GOP House veterans panel chairman goes to K Street Former reps: Increase support to Ukraine to deter Russia MORE (D-Va.) signaled his strong opposition to any debt-ceiling plan, such as the Reid draft, that does not contain revenues.
Dicks would not comment on what level of discretionary spending should be set in the deal for 2012, other than to say he hopes the level will be higher than the $1.019 trillion the House has temporarily adopted pursuant to the budget authored by Rep. Paul RyanPaul RyanRyan reminds lawmakers to be on time for votes Lawmakers consider new security funding in wake of shooting Paul Ryan: 'Beautiful day' to catch up with Bono MORE (R-Wis.).
In many ways, this discretionary number is the most important aspect of the debt-ceiling compromise, since it is the least likely to get reversed in the future by Congress. Dicks said he hopes the debt-ceiling deal will avert a third government shutdown crisis after Sept. 30, when appropriations bills need to be reconciled.

How wireless flash works?
Mar 8, 2014
I've been looking this on forums and google for days and cannot grasp the possibilities envolved. As far as I went, the flash can be mounted on camera, controlled remotely by built-in flash or radio signal or by an external trigger. Is that correct?
I got a SB 600, a D70S and a D3100. If I understood Ken Rockwell correctly, the D70S can control the SB 600 remotely using the built in flash (not radio), right? So this means the SB 600 detects the sudden light flash and uses this as a guide?
If so, why can't I use D3100's built-in as a trigger also?
Could anyone direct me to a SIMPLE guide to setting SB 600 as a slave with the D70s?

College Application
posted by Christian .
I am filling out a college application to a university in ohio that has a few thousand students enrolled. On the application there is a page for optional information like family, ethnicity, gender, etc. There is also an optional essay where you choose a topic to help the admissions office better understand you. My question is does writing this optional essay better my chances of being accepted into the college? If I( don't write it will it make my application look less empressive?
You need to take advantage of this. Here's your chance to let them see YOU as a person, not just as numbers and words on a transcript or application form.
Here's an excellent webpage from the College Board website:
Even though you've not been given a particular topic to write on, be sure to read this webpage carefully to determine what (and what not) to write about.
Here are some ideas about topics in case you need input:
1. An event in your life when you turned a major corner or made a major decision.
2. An event in your life which illustrates you as a person -- your sense of humor, your passion(s) outside of school, perhaps even what you think you'll be majoring in and why.
3. A deep-seated belief you hold in life, and a situation in which that belief was put to the test.
This webpage has further ideas:

Unformatted text preview: ship, but as news dispatches were written by bureaucrats with
limited linguistic skills, the Russian public soon learnt how to interpret
the distorted message. The American journalists were also heavily censored and contributed to the propaganda writing. The war in the Pacific
was reported with the same racial overtone so characteristic of the colonial period wars in the Golden Age of war journalism. Both the Americans and the Japanese employed a racist perspective, which facilitated
the dehumanization of the enemy (see also the discussion of the enemy
vilification strategies in Chapter Four). This, in turn, led to appalling
atrocities on both sides. It should come as no surprise that both sides reported only the atrocities of the enemy, and concealed those committed
by their own troops.
The short overview of Knightly's book presented above does not
do justice to its rich detail and lively style. Still, it clearly shows how war
correspondents contributed to the creation of the Glory of War Myth. Although since the early beginnings of war journalism some of the reporters described the hard ploy of the soldiers and sometimes even dared to
criticise the command, many were oblivious to the war suffering and enthusiastically depicted it as an exhilarating experience (especially in the
Golden Age of war journalism). Already in the Crimean War censorship
steps were taken against the reporters' freedom of speech. However, it
was not only censorship that should be blamed for the biases in war reports, but also the journalists' patriotic zeal and their drive for a scoop,
which led them to exaggeration of the enemy's losses and atrocities, and
minimising of the casualties of their own troops. Correspondents' personal involvement in the operations often influenced their work, so that
they represented the side they sympathised with in a more favourable
light. Sometimes they were deliberately misinformed by the authorities
they worked with. One of the notorious problems with war reporting was
the journalists' non-combatant status, as they were often involved in intelligence work for their governments, and some, especially in the late
19th c. but also in the Spanish War, took active part in the fighting. When 102 Chapter III it comes to the phrasing of the romantic legend of the war, the correspondents are responsible for the heroic vocabulary, in which the operations of their own troops were described, for using euphemisms when the
facts were not palatable to their taste, and also for increasing the antagonism between the sides of the conflict through atrocity stories and racial
prejudice, which dehumanised the enemy and both encouraged and justified ruthless brutality in the treatment of the adversary.
7. Linguistics and war
Linguists, when dealing with the domain of war, usually employ what
Charteris-Black (2004) called critical metaphor analysis, which allows
them to show how the use of metaphor highlights and hides certain aspects of the phenomena they are used to enunciate. This ability to manipulate the image of the worl...

The project
Magie à l'hôpital works to enliven the everyday life of hospitalised children. The organisation's 25 volunteer magicians travel to 13 hospitals across France to bring some joy to the children. The organisation also makes children's "dreams come true", including meetings with sports personalities and artists, swimming with dolphins and flying in hot-air balloons.
The organisation would like to acquire a minibus to take the children to realise their dreams in the company of their family with a view to creating a real moment of family sharing. The minibus will also be used for the travel requirements of the magicians and the transport of equipment to the hospitals.
Ludovic Chaumier, Head of Company Sales, Citroën Retail Tours Nord

By: Emily Kellas
Rating:7 out of 10
People always say "the universe has a plan for you," or "it must be fate" but for most of us, they usually remain just that, sayings. This weekend a new film has taken those sayings and created an interesting concept on the ways in which our fate is determined. The directorial debut of writer/producer Christopher Nolfi The Adjustment Bureau, though grand in concept, falls short of its potential.
The Adjustment Bureau tells the story of politician David Norris (Matt Damon), who discovers that there truly are written plans for his life, and when he strays from those plans, a bureau of case workers must make adjustments to get him back on his path. These men are bent on keeping him separated from his dream girl, Elise (Emily Blunt).
The concept, is certainly thought provoking, and made for an interesting foundation for the film. It seemed to almost combine aspects of previous films such as Bruce Almighty, 1984 and Dogma, but fails where the aforementioned films succeeded. Another theme that could have been more fully developed and expanded upon was that of knowing exactly what your futures holds and how to react to knowing your future. Though it dabbled with the theme, the audience never really gets to see the internal struggle for each character over their choices in a memorable way.
The action that was so promised to us by the trailer for the film was there, in small doses, but brought with it very little creativity. Action was confined to the realm of running… and lots of it. The performances too, were at best sub-par. Matt Damon, usually a crowd and critic pleaser, gives a fairly flat performance. Emily Blunt, gives an equally uninspiring performance as Elise, a woman whose independent and fiery spirit could have been explored further by The Devil Wears Prada actress.
With that said, I could appreciate the hidden shout out to Monroe County for those of us who call upstate New York home, which certainly garnered a small cheer from the local audience. I also appreciated the subtle John F. Kennedy references within the David Norris character that would echo even louder as the film continued and Norris's life plan was revealed.
Overall The Adjustment Bureau film was entertaining, and provided for a few thought provoking questions and concepts, but in the end it disappointed in execution. Perhaps, the disappointment is all apart of a larger written plan for director Christopher Nolfi… or maybe it was just an ok film by a first time director. I'm leaning towards the last explanation.

The Maldive Shark
Related Poem Content Details
About the Shark, phlegmatical one,
Pale sot of the Maldive sea,
The sleek little pilot-fish, azure and slim,
How alert in attendance be.
From his saw-pit of mouth, from his charnel of maw
They have nothing of harm to dread,
But liquidly glide on his ghastly flank
Or before his Gorgonian head;
Or lurk in the port of serrated teeth
In white triple tiers of glittering gates,
And there find a haven when peril's abroad,
An asylum in jaws of the Fates!
They are friends; and friendly they guide him to prey,
Yet never partake of the treat—
Eyes and brains to the dotard lethargic and dull,
Pale ravener of horrible meat.

The Maldive Shark
Related Poem Content Details
Although chiefly known for his magisterial novel Moby-Dick and for other prose works, Herman Melville was also a fascinating poet who turned to the art after his serious fiction failed to find appreciative readers. His eccentric verse displays the complexity of thought and verbal richness of his novels, which has led some critics to rank him just below Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson among 19th-century American poets.

Growing sales firm NGage leases downtown Greensboro space
Growing Greensboro-based sales and marketing consulting firm NGage has set up shop at 324 S. Elm St. in the heart of downtown.
The firm tapped Sterling Building Group to upfit the fifth floor of the prominent five-story Class A office building, which was developed by Lindbrook Development in 2010. About $120,800 worth of work will be done by the end of October, said Sterling Building Group President Brandin Wrisley.
Brent Barron, president and CEO of NGage, and his leadership team incorporated the firm in March with a focus on representing clients that manufacture health-care devices. The firm forms a sales team on behalf of clients and then sells clients' products for them.
Since starting up, NGage has secured two major manufacturers of diagnostic imaging equipment and women's health care equipment for its client rolls.
Barron and his leadership team — Charles Hughes, Ginger Walker and Brian Kost — have backgrounds with General Electric Co.'s health care division and Philips Healthcare, he said.
"We're known in the industry and have some credibility for having done a lot of sales and marketing product development and that kind of thing in the past," Barron said.
The company has grown to between 35 and 40 field workers since its incorporation, and the Elm Street space will initially house space for 10 in-office workers. Barron said NGage may look to hire more leadership and support staff, including account development specialists or sales administrators.
The company's future growth could include expanding to other industries outside the health care arena, Barron said.
"What will increase our size in the office is not only some more leadership functions, management functions that we need, but in particular inside sales," Barron said.
NGage first operated virtually, but as the company grew and added staff it needed a physical office space.
The firm has signed a five-year lease at 324 S. Elm St. and has temporary offices set up on the third floor while construction and upfits take place on the fifth. The company is looking to move in mid-November.
"Having an office with a view of our favorite Irish pub across the parking lot is the best," said Barron, speaking of M'Coul's Public House. "We joke all the time about setting up a zipline."

3. What is the rhyme scheme of the following Anne Bradstreet poem?
To Her Father with Some Verses
Most truly honored, and as truly dear,
If worth in me or ought I do appear,
Who can of right better demand the same
Than may your worthy self from whom it came?
The principal might yield a greater sum,
Yet handled ill, amounts but to this crumb;
My stock's so small I know not how to pay,
My bond remains in force unto this day;
Yet for part payment take this simple mite
Where nothing's to be had, kings loose their right.
Such is my debt I may not say forgive,
But as I can, I'll pay it while I live;
Such is my bond, none can discharge but I,
Yet paying is not paid until I die.

Question: Can Tylonel PM be taken when person is taking Lisinopril?
|lnore - Sat Dec 20, 2008 12:05 pm
Share |
I am taking Lisinopril/hctz, 20/12.5 mg, twice daily
I have been having trouble sleeping. Can I take Tylonel PM without any problems?
Thank you
|John Kenyon, CNA - Sat Dec 20, 2008 9:11 pm

Hi there -
Tylenol (acetaminophen) is fine with Lisonpril/HCTZ, no interactions. What makes Tylenol PM a sleep aid is a small amount of diphenhydramine (the active ingredient in Benadryl). Again, no problem there. You may feel more sleepy at night after taking Tylenol PM while taking Lisinopril/HCTZ, simply because one of the more commonly reported side effects of Lisinopril is drowsiness (also lightheadedness). If you're going to sleep anyway, this shouldn't be a problem.
Hope this helps.

9 likesSteve, I feel for you mate. Can't really offer anything except maybe get a session with a child phycologist and see if they can give you any direction on how best to approach things. My daughter (now 18) has her moments and she was quite difficult when she was around the age you're describing. It's turbulent times and the whole divorce/bitter ex/re-marry thing must only add to it. Above all, take the higher ground. Continue being nice, sending cards etc even if you don't get any acknowledgement. Parenting is about unconditional love and as much as they might seem bitter and twisted now, I'm sure they'll have a deep down reassurance that you didn't give up on them and sooner or later they'll realise that, no matter what happens, you are their dad. Little consolation now but I'd be very surprised if they don't come around as they mature.
6 likesMacca, Not that you will read here (cough cough). Many here see the effort you are putting in to get this up and running. Good work. I know the women's race will come. It's just time and money. Don't listing to the nonbelievers. They are the ones who don't want to see the sport advance. Regards The keyboard warrior.
5 likesI reckon FFF's idea is a great one re the email account. That way if at anytime they do come around and ask why you "stopped caring" or "stopped loving them" or whatever else they are being led to believe you can show them a verified timeline of your feelings towards them. Might also be good therapy. Either way only you can decide what is best for you, all I cN offer is best wishes mate.
5 likes2 hrs all up. Rode to gym, 4.5k rower Upper and lower body stuff 2.5k rower 10min x trainer Rode home After 6 days off, felt like a limp noodle!
4 likesIt's probably easy for people to say "carry on fighting for your kids" but I can imagine how emotionally taxing it must be. I'd be tempted to throw in the towel too. Send them xmas cards, birthday cards and wait for them to come around. It might not be until they're 18, which is very sad, but trying to maintain a relationship with your kids sounds futile as long as they are having their heads filled with crap by their Mum.
4 likesMaybe just writing the letters and cards and not posting them will help you? I know that I have done that with an email address for my daughter. I email her once a fortnight with some thoughts on what is happening in our lives at that time and a couple of pictures of stuff. Her mum makes enough money to put a fair whack away for her, I can't do that, so I am paying by way of love and the tears I shed writing the emails to her. And I have constant contact with her, besides a weekend off every two weeks. I really couldn't imagine what you are feeling Ayto 🙁🙁🙁👍 I will give her the password and address after she's 21. Just a thought mate 👍
3 likesAfter separation from the wife and getting life and kids stable I've now found myself a really nice woman that seems to be a keeper. I have 2 kids aged 12 and 10 and she has none. She is 35, sane and really stable in life. When I first met her I asked where she could see herself in 5 years. She said blah blah a couple of kids blah blah. At this early stage of the relationship I thought that having more kids would be ok. A bit of time has past since that first conversation and I have now decided that I don't want to go back to nappies and being a taxi for kids for another 10 or so years. It was a hard decision for me to make as I thought to be a complete family again then a new partner would either have her own kids or we would have some together. I knew I had to tell her my feelings and did this in a very difficult conversation. I effectively told her i was walking away as i didn't/don't want to be that guy from stopping her from having kids. The unconditional love that kids bring is greater that the love I can give her. She then went on to say she was willing to not have kids to be with me. She wanted a month or so to think about it while she got to know me some more. The relationship has been going really well and we havent spoken about the kids thing since that day. I really like this woman a lot and would like to be with her but the real question I have to try and answer is "Can I be that person to prevent her from having children?" Even if she decides that she is willing to be with me and not have her own children, will I ever feel guilt free? Am i being a prick? Shall I walk away effectively taking that choice away from her? Any advice would be greatly appreciated from the Tranny collective.
3 likesRace day- and the conditions are great today for Ironman Frankston and the F1. Pros went off at 7am and the AG went off at 7.10am. course record under real threat this year. Frankston has turned it on. The IM Voice is in fine form this morning...
3 likesYes but u have a HUGE base, that's what gets u through , you are also a very experienced and smart racer pretty sure the OP is newish to the sport so he need endurance and even more so speed endurance in his legs to completely condredict myself , it looks like I'm gunna be doing ultraman oz on not too many runs longer than 3 hrs since UM Hawaii in nov . we are trying not to overdo it for this build espually seeing I'm doing IMOZ 5 days before UMOZ saving it all for a serious crack at Um Hawaii in nov 17 I've done one 4.5hr run about 6 weeks ago , I'm hoping again to run sub 8hrs and I'm thinking my huge base and sheer mongrel will get me through i am hopeing to get a triple run done next week so 2hrs morn 2hrs lunch 2hrs 4pm keep the pace same the rest will be just 2 to 3 hr runs done after long rides
3 likesParkrun......set a new 5km PB for myself 21:56 (best 5km previously was 22:07 x 2). Felt like my lungs were about to vomit out....20min 5km seems just so far......
2 likesSounds like The Art Of The Deal needs a rewrite, - Have a dodgy idea/product that you don't know much about - Don't really communicate or offer any compromise, mainly just threaten people, mainly people on your own team - Give up on it after a week - Deny that you said there ever was a likely deal to begin with
2 likes10 min swim in an Endless Pool choosing a new wettie. 10 min turbo spin at the shop tweaking the new bike
2 likesMacca copped it on twitter after it was announced as blokes only for the first event. Rightly so. He could have made a better fist of informing the triathlon public and potential racers that there was a Women's event coming, just not in the pilot race. That wouldn't have stopped all the crap, but it would have been better than his cranky reactionary posts. The number of quality pro women on twitter who didn't have any idea about the series seemed pretty high. I'm talking ITU/Olympic level athletes, who if they aren't in his selection, I'd like to know who is. He is right on one point, Liz isn't the current target to race, but he obviously missed an opportunity to get a well connected, pointy end athlete on side. That's the sort of thing that can hurt in the long run.
2 likesThanks Beaten & good point about Liz. I'll admit to not knowing the details of who was involved & I've probably missed a whole chunk of background info but it just seems really odd that it was only the men racing. From my perpesctive, as a female, it would have been a smarter move, if not the most profitable move, to have both racing - just my thoughts
2 likesGreat read Rog im not on this insta thing /twitter thing . But that was a good read . And im proud of my mate putting it out there and having the passion and drive to help the sport plus the best in the world . Everyone is always quick to jump on things with out knowing the facts.
2 likesDon't do it have u ever been to Melbourne !!!!!!! just jump on ebay and buy a finisher shirt and a medal , hell I'll just send u one up just so u don't have to go to smelbourne lol
2 likesHow can anyone say Macca doesn't like women? He showed in Hawaii that he loves the ladies
2 likesWell Macca has offered her a job so how about she helps him bring the women's event to fruition instead of whinging from the sidelines.
2 likes57km ride with a bike shop ride in the middle. Pace was mega high for me but once a month won't hurt. Great fun, nice people.
2 likesChuckie, I always wanted to beat my old IM PB, and I reckon the IMM course is the one to do it on, even if I can hardly run at the moment. Do you think they'd take a late entry? If you can meet me at the airport, I'll get a flight straight down & be there before check-in closes. See you at the airport soon. I'll be the one without the Grand-Prix supporters kit.
2 likes100kms with 1,600m vert. Cracking pace today, avg of 31.8km/h. White choc lamington, didn't spot the donuts until I had paid.
2 likesSome great advice there Ratty. I agree that the fact that you care so much about doing the 'right' thing shows that you are deserving of a nice person in your life. I can't advise you on the correct thing to do except to say to be honest and upfront and hope that your partner will do the same. No matter what you decide it will be the best decision based on how you feel and what you know. What I can tell you is that when my youngest had grown up I thought to myself 'thank god I don't have to deal with young toddlers and babies again'. Then just over 12 months ago I became a Grandfather, and I can't get enough of it. The feeding, the nappies, the lot! I know it's not a full time gig, like it is when you're the parent, but it's so much easier now that I'm a bit older and more relaxed & experienced. I know your girls are only young themselves but maybe have a little bit of a casual chat to them and see what they reckon. You never know, their reaction might help you look at things from a different angle. Failing all that, just trust that this lady can make a good decision herself - Although I must question her sanity in choosing to go out with you in the first place! Somehow these things just always seem to work out for the best. Good luck with it! I'll also leave you with these words from Mark Twain (again)... "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
2 likesJust completed 5x5km with 30min Bike on trainer between.
2 likesWhat a poor response from ITU. Not to say their comments didn't have merit. The opener on media was just a token positive comment in amongst the sour grapes. Perhaps they could have focused as much on all of the great things that happened like how good the racing was, the calibre of the athletes, the unpredictability, the attraction for the viewer and the accessibility. Yet they talk about athletes which they should be drug testing themselves and it has been made perfectly clear that females and AGers will be there after they have got the process up and running. ITU have had 25 years since F1 to put on a show like this and present it to the world, but they've chosen to not to that. Super league racing is offering the elite pro racers so much more that I would expect ITU to feel threatened by this, and perhaps so they should.
2 likesI'd hazard to guess that most professional bike deals would be. He are 2 bikes. We now sponsor you. BMC would be crazy to give cash. Maybe as a bonus for winning but not up front.
2 likesI go sub 5 on 25km running per week (or sometimes less). Have never done Challenge Melbourne though. Probs not ideal, just injury management for me - most people could and should run a lot more.
2 likesJust watched the video of Sarah in Adelaide, what a super woman! I'm in awe. She's pushing on to Murray Bridge tonight.
2 likesRun more you should be able to get 20 mins off that run time , but u have to reamain bike fit so u arnt smashed going onto the run better off focusing on a 20 min better orun than a 3-4 min better swim as far as coach goes I'd get onto the mkc 16 week plan. , lots of slow stuff in the program so it won't break you google matt koorey or PM mjk on here

1 likeAthletes like Chrissy, Crowie, Brownlee, Jan, Rinny etc will never test positive. The powers that be won;t allow it. Just like the UCI never popped Lance even after the swiss positive result that came out years later. Imagine the ITU busting AB. Duel Gold medalist and then gone? Please it would ruin the sport for the Olympics. We have no tradition like the 100mtrs. Triathlon would be dumped fast. I'm not saying AB was that athlete but it was someone, yet not one person has been named. Team BG have hidden it
1 likeI am over the garbage that comes china. I had a couple of components fail. I did ride a copy Time frame for a few years. It did hold up, from day one the headset never fitted quiet right. I ended up ditching it and bought a few year old BMC frame that was in mint condition hardly ever ridden. I feel much safer now on the road. My life is not worth saving few dollars with a cheaper option..
1 likeI read an interesting comment on another website which perfectly explains this exact situation and the dilemma that faced the organisers. To organise such a massive event and attract sponsors and tv rights etc there needs to be something to sell. In the mens event all 6 medalists from the last 2 Olympics and every world champ going back to 2008. A nice selling point to the media and the standard of the event. Now lets look at the women, because of retirement and pregnancy unfortunately there actually is only Holland, the bronze medallist from Rio, no one from London and Non Stanford and Duffy as world champions available going back to 2008. Not quite the same selling point as for the men. Also as the athletes were under season Contract, using replacements for top women would eliminate them from future events. Now as an organiser if they have been able to get things up and running but find themselves in this dilemma should they have just canned everything they have worked hard to set up so far, risking not being able to achieve the same media rights etc if all was postponed, or go ahead with what they have?
1 likeExpect a NWT Ventum add on EBay soon
1 likeGood points on Insta from Liz Blatchford. https://instagram.com/p/BSA25ZyhNqX/
1 likeMy thoughts too, a panic statement maybe. I can't say all as I don't know with certainty but many of these athletes would be on the ITU out of comp testing programme and many also on their countries OOC programmes. The ITU can not complain about lack of drug testing when they themselves have swept a positive test under the carpet for a Brit athlete after Cozumel world champs. I have found the current ITU testing pool athletes list if anyone is interested. Not as many on it considering the numbers in a wts race ooct-jan-mar-2017.pdf
1 likeSwim 2-3 times a week before ear surgery. How long out for swimming post op? Pretty simple, swim ride and run 3 sessions of each a week ideally. Start doing brick session like swim, bike and bike run, you only need to run 4-5ks off a 2hr bike. Build up to one long run per week 10-15ks. One speed seesion and a brick session. I don't think you need to do 40k of running a,week for a half IM. 20-25ks is plenty, unless you want to get injured. AP is an awesome coach and he will have you confident leading into the race.

The graduate program in Physiology and Cellular Biophysics includes a training program in Translational Cardiovascular Research at Columbia University Medical Center. This is an optional program for those students interested in pursuing advanced graduate training in cardiovascular biomedical research. It is a unique NIH funded program. Each year a subset of graduate students participate in this program but it is not required.
The NIH funded training program in Translational Cardiovascular Research is conceived to enhance and ensure the development of cardiovascular scientists who have broadly-based knowledge in the fields of Cardiovascular Cell Biology, Biophysics, Genetics and Genomics, Bio- and Tissue-Engineering and Clinical Sciences. The training is based within the Clyde and Helen Wu Center for Molecular Cardiology, the Department of Physiology and Cellular Biophysics, and the Department of Medicine. The Center and the Departments of Physiology and Medicine offer Cardiovascular seminar series and journal clubs, joint laboratory meetings, and retreats, which are designed to encourage collaborations and foster excellence.
This component of the Department's training program seeks to prepare tomorrow's cardiovascular scientists and endow them with clinical/pathophysiological insights, thus enabling the development of a group of investigators that is focused upon clinically relevant investigation in matters pertinent to heart and vascular diseases. Applicants may have two co-mentors one with primarily basic science expertise and one with translational/clinical science expertise.
Applying to the training program in Translational Cardiovascular Research
Students can choose to apply to the training program in Translational Cardiovascular Research at any time during the first two years of their graduate training. If applicants think they may be interested in this program they can indicate this in their application essay and ask to meet with some of the faculty who direct the cardiovascular research program (Andrew Marks, Henry Colecraft, Ira Tabas, Jeanine D'Armiento, and Alan Tall) during the interview process but this is not a requirement. No special application is required, merely discussion with the student's advisor. The process is straightforward, simple and requires no extra work on the part of the applicant. Based on an evaluation of the student's interests jointly with the student's mentor the mentor recommends the student to the training program in Translational Cardiovascular Research and the student is formally accepted into the program by the program Director Dr. Andrew Marks.
Overview of the Program
A key strength of the training program is the quality and breadth of scientific disciplines of interest of the training faculty. There are 25 participating mentoring faculty in the training program spread across both basic science (Physiology and Cellular Biophysics, Pharmacology, Nutrition, Biochemistry) and clinical (Medicine, Cardiology, Endocrinology, Nephrology) departments and divisions at Columbia University Medical center. Fitting with the varied research interests of the faculty mentors, the training program is divided into four thematic units: (1) Structural Biology of CV Signaling Molecules, (2) Biophysics of CV Cell Signaling, (3) Animal Models of CV Diseases, and (4) Clinical-Translational CV Sciences.
The training program includes a unique course that provides in depth training in the fundamentals of drug development from target validation through proof of concept to IND filing and clinical testing. The course is directed by Dr. Marks and includes faculty from the Depts. of Physiology, Pharmacology, Medicine, Genetics, Bioengineering, Chemistry, as well as the School of Public Health, the Law School, the Technology Transfer Office, the Business School and visiting lectures from alumni who have successfully developed therapeutic and been leaders in the Pharmacology Industry.
(1) Multidisciplinary training and exposure to collaborative research. Trainees are exposed to multidisciplinary training through our program-specific annual retreat, and a series of lectures, journal clubs, seminars and research-in-progress meetings (monthly). The Medical Center has established a Cardiovascular Research Initiative (CVRI- headed by Dr. Andrew Marks), in which symposia are conducted four times/year, focusing on presenting cutting-edge science from within the university.
(2) Bedside exposure/training. We believe it is important to educate and expose our trainees to clinical manifestations of various cardiovascular diseases to highlight the unmet needs in these areas, and the challenges associated with their treatment. To accomplish this, trainees are paired with Cardiology fellows in the clinics and hospital, and have the opportunity of attendance at Cardiology grand rounds and research seminar series. Trainees may have up to four clinical experiences per year. This aspect of the program is overseen by Dr. Steven Marx, Director of the Cardiovascular Fellowship at NY Presbyterian Hospital-Columbia University Medical Center and the Director of the 4th year medical student clerkship in Cardiology.
(3) Trainee Development. Faced with increasing competition for grant support, our trainees will be optimally-prepared for obtaining funding through a program–specific series of lectures, small group sessions and one-on-one counseling by Dr. Ellen Lumpkin on grant preparation.
(4) Co-mentorship: Co-mentorship of our trainees is offered such that each trainee has a basic and a clinical mentor who will meet together monthly with the student to coordinate all aspects of their training. This not only instructs trainees in collaborative research, but also significantly enriches their training by exposing them to a greater diversity of research techniques and experiences.
(5) Visiting faculty. Recognizing the importance for trainees to be exposed to cutting edge cardiovascular research from leaders in the field, the training program sponsors various seminars and lectureships given by renowned scientists. Recent speakers have included: Robert Lefkowitz (Duke), Helen Hobbs (UTSW), Shaun Coughlin (UCSF), Richard Lifton (Yale) and Gary Gibbons (NHLBI Director). Trainees act as hosts to the visiting faculty and also have lunch with the seminar speaker.
Trainees participate in the following activities:
• Journal Club in Molecular Cardiology. At appropriate times in their training, trainees are asked to lead such sessions. A list of sample topics reviewed in the past year is given in Appendix. This format provides excellent teaching experience for each post-doctoral fellow.
• "Wu Visiting Professor: Frontiers in Cardiovascular Biology" is a distinguished speaker seminar series held annually. Trainees meet with Drs. Marks, and Colecraft to choose and host the speakers, and there is a lunch for speaker and trainees following the seminar. Recent speakers have included: Robert Lefkowitz (Duke), Helen Hobbs (UTSW), Shaun Coughlin (UCSF), Richard Lifton (Yale) and most recently Garry Gibbons (Morehouse School of Medicine).
• Joint Ion Channel Journal Club. For trainees in ion channel research labs, a monthly joint journal club (which includes labs from several training grant faculty ─ Colecraft, Kass, Marx, Karlin─ and others at Columbia) affords an opportunity for research presentations to a specialized audience, as well as exposure to cutting-edge ion channel research from different labs.
• Trainees attend and participate in an annual, one-day retreat of the Department of Physiology. In addition to formal lectures by students and postdocs, there is a poster session with contributions from trainees and faculty.
• A Program specific trainee research seminar series is held every Tuesday evening. Students in the later years of their research training present their work to their peers in the absence of any faculty. We emphasize to the trainees the importance of acquiring teaching and communication skills. At appropriate times in their training the trainees are expected to make presentations and lead sessions in the activities listed above.
• Program specific retreat for the training program pre- and post-doctoral trainees. A one-day annual retreat features presentations from trainees and a keynote lecture from a faculty member. In addition break-out sessions with mentors focus on identification of unmet needs in the program and career development counseling. Students provide feedback on their individual training programs as well as the overall experience. This is attended by training grant faculty mentors and the program directors.
