Note: This post contains SPOILERS for all aired episodes of Arrow, as well as trailers/promotional images for Season 3.
The CW has released a thrilling new trailer for Arrow Season 3 (set to premiere on October 8) bound to please comics fans and Olicity shippers alike. Maybe especially Olicity fans.
|Source: Oliver/Felicity gif by vengeance82 via Tumblr
The end of the show's second season threw a lot at us, including Moira Queen's death, Deathstroke's downfall and imprisonment, Digg's impending fatherhood, the Canary's return to the League of Assassins fold, Thea's departure from Starling, Roy's decision to put on a mask, and Laurel's first go with a bow and arrow. And, of course, most relevant to this fan, the season finale featured THAT DECLARATION OF LOVE Oliver made to Felicity, which served a purpose but also seemed to have a ring of truth to it.
From the looks of this peek at Season 3, Arrow is finally—finally!—going to make canon this relationship that fans have been rooting for from early on in the series.
Of course, we can't, and shouldn't, expect smooth sailing. Last year, Oliver told Felicity he didn't want to get involved with anyone he could "really care about" for fear his loved one would be in danger. Not long after, Felicity met Barry Allen, and Oliver reunited with Sara Lance despite the risk to his relationship with Laurel. This history is sure to make an impact on any relationship Felicity and Oliver embark on, as it should, and that's before you take into account the rumors that new character Ray Palmer/The Atom will be interested in Felicity romantically (whether she'll return the interest is unknown).
I gotta say, I was disappointed when what I thought had become a lovely friendship between Oliver and Sara reverted back to romance, even knowing that it'd hurt Laurel all over again, before they ended things again. Plus, it still seems like Oliver/Laurel could be endgame, which I wish the writers would give up on already because, confession: I am not here for that.
And yet. And yet. I find I cannot look away from the almost-kiss in this trailer, or the possibility that we'll get some really good Oliver/Felicity material this year. That alone will keep me watching Arrow this season and beyond.
How about you? What are your hopes for the season based on what we know so far? How do you feel about where our favorite characters are, development-wise, following the events of Season 2? Do you think Oliver and Felicity are in the right place to pursue a relationship? Could this be another fake-out? (The producers swear it is not, but they're tricky ones.)

Kittencal's Buttery Flaky Shortbread Pan Cookies
Recipe by Kittencalrecipezazz
This recipe will make two pans of the most delicious flaky buttery shortbread and may I add these travel well for shipping ;-) --- using a food processor insures that you will have a very tender flaky cookie, plus they take only minutes to make, these may be made up to 2 weeks in advance and store at room temperature in an airtight container, but they won't last that long lol! and they only get better with time! If you are using unsalted butter then increase the salt to 1/4 teaspoon --- make certain to slice the cookies while it is still warm and then cool completely --- while the baked cookie dough is still warm you can cut into small shapes or circles if desired --- you will *love* these!
Top Review by persi
This was my first attempt at a shorbread cookie. The dough was not what I expected, it was less like dough and more like moist crumbs. Super easy to prepare though! Pressing it in the cake pans was a lot like making a graham cracker pie crust. I divided my plain dough in half and added 1/2 cup dried cranberries and the zest of 1 lemon to one half. To the other I added 1/2 cup dried apricots and 1/4 tsp almond extract. The results were fabulous! I used glass pans and let the edges just start to brown before pulling from the oven, about 33 minutes for me. I got 16 cookies per pan and they are soft with a nice chew and hold up very well. I was worried when I first pulled them from the oven as they seemed very delicate but after cooling completely I do believe they will package up nicely for travel. I can confirm the baked cookies freeze well and thaw without any trouble. My favorite was the apricot, while I love cranberry lemon, the more subtle apricot and almond flavoring really complimented the rich butteriness of the cookie.

St-Pierre wins, announces UFC break
On the night of the UFC's 20th anniversary, Georges St-Pierre earned a controversial split decision victory over Johny Hendricks to cap off UFC 167 and a few moments later he walked away from the UFC saying it was time to take a much needed break from the sport.
The five round bout was an instant classic in terms of the action that took place inside the cage with both St-Pierre and Hendricks bringing the absolute best out of each other over the course of 25 minutes.
The fight started as so many of St-Pierre's past bouts have began with the champion launching a quick and powerful double leg takedown to put Hendricks on his butt. This time, however, the position was short lived as the former two-time NCAA champion got right back to his feet and ended up putting St-Pierre down utilizing his own wrestling game.
The second round saw the most definitive action of the fight as Hendricks connected flush with a combination of punches that staggered St-Pierre. In the scramble, Hendricks was gunning for the shot that would finally put the belt around his waist and end St-Pierre's reign, but the champion was crafty and elusive enough to survive the onslaught. As the round wore on both fighters were noticeably winded and looked up at the clock to see how much time remained, but it was Hendricks who appeared to be the worse for wear when it came to conditioning.
St-Pierre took advantage in the third with his first overwhelming round of the fight, but the fourth saw the momentum shift again with Hendricks coming back with a takedown attack of his own. Hendricks put St-Pierre down and started to land some solid inside elbows that carved up the champion's face, but inexplicably with the control in his favor the challenge stood up and allowed the fight to get back on the feet.
The fifth round saw St-Pierre come charging back again putting together his best combinations of the fight, rattling Hendricks at a couple of different points as the seconds started to tick away towards the end. St-Pierre's wrestling was finally utilized in the final minutes as he put Hendricks down, although he couldn't maintain position with the Oklahoma State alum still popping back up each time.
The final horn sounded as the thousands in attendance at the MGM Grand Garden Arena stood on their feet celebrating an unforgettable main event to cap off UFC 167. When the judges scorecards were returned the final tallies read 48-47, 48-47, 47-48 with the split decision victory landing in the corner of the reigning and defending UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre.
A loud chorus of boos echoed throughout the arena as Hendricks dropped to his knees, bowing his head wondering how he wasn't leaving Las Vegas as the new UFC welterweight champion. When St-Pierre finally took to the microphone, he admits that there are parts of the fight that he doesn't remember but ultimately he does believe he did enough to win.
"I was not surprised. I lost a little bit of memory of what happened. I want to take my hat off to Johny Hendricks, my toughest opponent so far," St-Pierre said.
Obviously Hendricks didn't agree with the champion, and UFC commentator Joe Rogan said he also scored the fight in favor of the challenger when the bout was over. Hendricks, visibly upset, had very little to say outside of the fact that he believes he should be champion.
"I thought I clearly won the fight," Hendricks stated. "Did you guys see the same fight I just fought? Pretty sure I won."

Six iSCSI SANs unleashed
Adaptec, Celeros, EqualLogic, Intransa, NetApp, and Rasilient move our megabytes
We've all been hearing about the simplicity and low cost of iSCSI for years now -- and how iSCSI would topple FC (Fibre Channel) as the storage networking technology of choice for shops moving from DAS to SAN. Yet entry-level SAN systems, such as those from Dell/EMC and Hewlett-Packard, although quick to adopt low-cost SATA drives, have continued to stick with FC interfaces. Even those that have offered iSCSI typically included FC as well. Fibre Channel has remained king, even for small SAN deployments.
That's finally changing. The current crop of iSCSI storage arrays prove that cost-effective SAN storage is definitely mature, leaving FC arrays comfortable only at the high end. For most small infrastructures, the performance of FC simply isn't necessary, and the cost differential is significant. The combination of SATA hard drives and the iSCSI protocol has finally engendered the new era of storage we've been waiting for, especially for small to midsize infrastructures.
At the true low end of iSCSI SAN implementations, you find that iSCSI-connected servers don't require HBAs to talk to the SAN array -- standard Gigabit Ethernet NICs and software iSCSI initiators will provide connectivity. Standard gigabit switches can then be used to create the SAN itself.
Above the iSCSI software initiators come the iSCSI HBAs that off-load iSCSI processing from the server CPU and handle it in hardware on the HBA itself. Working with Gigabit Ethernet switching that supports jumbo frames, this type of iSCSI connection could push more than 100MBps to and from the iSCSI array. Not too shabby for commodity hardware.
The six products I tested show the current spectrum of iSCSI solutions available on the market today. The Adaptec, Celeros, and Rasilient units represent the lower end in price and functionality, whereas EqualLogic, Intransa, and NetApp bring more enterprise features to their products at additional cost. In addition to providing iSCSI services, these products also present a relatively wide variety of storage features, such as replication, clustering, snapshotting, and supported RAID levels. Adaptec and NetApp even include NFS and CIFS file sharing.
Notably absent is EMC, which expressed interest but ultimately declined to participate. The poor performance turned in by the Dell/EMC AX100i might have something to do with that, but I would have liked to have given the EMC CX300i a run through the lab.
My evaluation focused on configurability, storage management features, and iSCSI performance. I ran a battery of performance tests under both Linux and Windows, using software initiators as well as iSCSI HBAs from Alacritech and QLogic. I tested throughput and I/O using various block sizes, running random split tests (50/50 reads and writes) as a harsh measure of general-purpose performance and streaming read and write tests to get a feel for maximum raw throughput.
Because the 4KB tests are relative indicators of many real applications, such as Microsoft Exchange, I've included those results here; the results of tests for 8KB, 32KB, and 256KB block sizes are included in the online version of this article. The accompanying charts show the numbers gathered from Iometer tests on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 with the linux-iscsi software initiator. Given the sector offset issues that cropped up during Windows testing, the Linux results are the best baseline numbers available for all units.
Adaptec Snap Server 18000
Adaptec's Snap Server 18000 will appeal to the lower-budget storage buyer who wants NAS-plus-SAN functionality without the costs or complexity of a Network Appliance filer. In fact, the Snap Server speaks even more network file-sharing protocols than the NetApp unit, supporting Apple file sharing via FTP and AFP (Apple File Protocol) as well as NFS and CIFS shares.
The Snap Server 18000 is built on Linux, with a standard mainboard and PC connections at the back of the unit. The system cannot be configured via KVM, however, but will request DHCP on first boot. Additional configuring is performed via the Web GUI. The LCD panel on the front helpfully shows the IP address assigned to the primary NIC to assist in initial configuration.
The Web GUI is very lean -- the most Spartan of all the arrays in the test -- and functional but gives the impression that iSCSI support was rather hastily added to the appliance. For example, although you get support for iSNS (Internet Storage Name Service) servers and CHAP (Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol) authentication, there is no way to restrict iSCSI volumes to specific hosts via IQN (iSCSI Qualified Name).
Internally, the Snap Server 18000 sports dual 3GHz CPUs and 2GB of RAM. The storage is limited to eight internal disks, but additional disk arrays can be connected via FC to expand the capacity of the appliance. The SATA drives are driven by an internal SATA controller that does not support hardware RAID. Instead, RAID is supplied by Linux software RAID, which is quite capable but requires significant processing resources, which explains why this appliance has dual CPUs.
Similar to the Celeros EzSAN, the Snap Server 18000 neither provides redundant features nor can be clustered with another appliance to provide fail-over. Snapshots are limited to read-only. On the plus side, you can expand the array by adding a disk shelf via FC.
The Snap Server is the Fiat to the NetApp's Ferrari. It's definitely suitable for use in smaller shops looking to provide CIFS or NFS services to a network -- and possibly even as storage for Exchange or in disk-to-disk-to-tape backup scenarios -- but its usefulness as a resilient iSCSI target is limited. Nevertheless, the nice price makes this SAN a good fit for smaller budgets that need big storage.
Celeros EzSAN XR23
The EzSAN XR23 is a 2U appliance that appears to be a regular server chassis with 12 SATA drives in hot-swap cages in the front, mounted behind a black bezel. On the back, you'll find a standard mainboard connector panel with keyboard, mouse, and USB ports, as well as two copper Gigabit Ethernet ports. Thus, the EzSAN is really a standard server with an embedded NetBSD OS, 12 drives, and a 3Ware 9500S-12 SATA RAID controller. Of course, that's one of the reasons it's the lowest-cost array in the test.
Setup of the EzSAN was as straightforward as any of the others, with the substitution of a standard KVM connection to the appliance rather than a serial console. After booting, you enter a quick IP configuration and then complete the configuration via the Web GUI.
The GUI and the OS are licensed from Wasabi Systems, which provides a PHP-driven Web interface to configure every aspect of the appliance. The interface is clean and intuitive and provides for all the expected features: CHAP authentication, initiator IQN LUN (logical unit number) assignment, volume creation, system status, and so forth. The RAID controller supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50, and it's backed by battery power, but the system doesn't approach the EqualLogic or NetApp appliances in terms of resiliency. What's also missing is any form of controller redundancy, whether within the unit or via a redundant appliance.
That said, Celeros' motto of bringing sanity to storage costs does ring true. The EzSAN held its own in the performance tests when used with software initiators or hardware iSCSI accelerators on Windows. Unfortunately, the appliance didn't fare well with the QLogic QLA4010 iSCSI HBA on Linux -- the I/O tests seemed to tickle an interoperability bug, and all of the I/O tests using the HBA failed. The EzSAN wasn't alone here; the Rasilient Rastor 4000 also hit a snag with the QLogic HBA.
Overall, the Celeros hardware is solid, the lines are clean, and the solution is powerful, if not very scalable. Snapshot support is sorely lacking, and the absence of redundancy beyond power supplies is a concern. The sub-$8,000 cost for 3TB of iSCSI storage, however, is a strong argument. For what it aims to be, the EzSAN XR23 delivers.
EqualLogic PS200E
EqualLogic has obviously poured much effort into its PS200E. I received two units, each boasting 5TB of raw storage laid across 14 400GB SATA drives.
The PS200E is a no-nonsense array. Instead of a glowing LCD panel or fancy front bezel, it sports a low-key face highlighted by disk access and array health LEDs. The redundant controllers set in the back of the chassis each contain three gigabit NICs with both copper and SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) fiber connections. The unit runs NetBSD and boots quickly to a console-based initial configuration script that provides addressing for the NICs and defines a storage group to assign the controllers. In EqualLogic's view, all storage arrays are grouped into logical units. This abstraction provides a smooth way to cluster arrays for management and redundancy purposes.
After the controllers had been configured on the network, all further administration was handled by the Java-based Web GUI. I found the UI to be well-organized and quite versatile, although I did run into problems related to the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) version on a few workstations. I settled on a revision of 1.4.2 that seemed to play nice and created my volumes. As with most iSCSI targets, each volume can be assigned access rights to permit only certain initiators to connect and mount any given volume. The iSCSI standard calls for the use of CHAP, which provides a modicum of initiator authentication, and the PS200E handles that without an issue. Also, initiators can be assigned to LUNs by mapping the initiator IQN to that LUN. Volume presentation is then determined by the requesting initiator IQN. There is no means of grouping or aliasing IQNs, which can get tedious when working with several servers.
I configured the PS200E for performance, running the array at RAID 10 with two hot spares. RAID 10 is a mirror set of striped arrays, providing better performance than RAID 5 while maintaining redundancy via the mirror. The downside is that only 50 percent of the raw capacity of the filer is usable. But with SATA drives reaching 500GB per spindle, this isn't the constraint it once was.
In performance tests, the PS200E led the field, claiming the highest marks in the raw single-threaded read tests and showing a superlative 101MBps 256KB streaming write throughput with the Alacritech iSCSI accelerator on Windows. Interestingly, the PS200E also responded well to the QLogic HBA, posting the best file creation and deletion times -- especially impressive considering the HBA's lack of jumbo frame support. Overall, the EqualLogic PS200E posted the best raw iSCSI performance numbers in the test.
When I built the second PS200E, I initially created a completely separate group for it and configured replication between the arrays. This is extremely simple to do, and the PS200Es will do a block-level synchronization of volumes at scheduled intervals or when manually triggered. The controllers provide no bandwidth shaping, however, so factor that into your plans if you're replicating over WAN links.
After resetting the second PS200E to factory defaults, I joined it to the original array group -- again, very simple -- and was able to manage both arrays from the group UI. When joined, the two units immediately reallocated volumes between them for better load balancing -- a very nice touch. The downside of this is that a failure of one of the group members can affect all the volumes between both units, bringing everything to a halt.
When you add arrays to an EqualLogic storage group, you not only add disk, you add controllers. Each set of controllers in the array has three active Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and uses active load balancing between them to balance server requests. The interfaces on the dormant controller can be used as fail-over interfaces as well. Thus, as you add more disk, you also add more network capacity -- another nice feature.
One issue I did have with the PS200E involved the Microsoft iSCSI initiator. In fact, this problem also affected the Intransa IP5500, as the PS200E and IP5500 are the only solutions in the test that use iSCSI redirection to achieve load balancing. At certain times, the iSCSI volumes would simply refuse to mount or would abruptly disconnect during heavy I/O. The crux of the issue was related to the Alacritech iSCSI accelerator cards used on the Windows server in conjunction with Version 1.6 of the Microsoft initiator. Updating the Alacritech drivers to the most recent version and moving to Version 2.0 of the Microsoft initiator resolved these issues.
Overall, the PS200E is a well-designed and well-executed SAN, providing not only a significant bang for the storage buck but also a simple, powerful interface for storage management. Delivering good performance, redundancy, and scalability, this solution is definitely enterprise-ready.
Intransa IP5500
Of all the units in the test, Intransa's IP5500 is unique. Whereas the other solutions either embed the controllers within the disk shelf or use Fibre Channel to connect external disk shelves, the IP5500 uses Gigabit Ethernet to connect the controllers to the physical disks.

Energy stocks were the worst performing group on Thursday as worries about liquified natural gas prices and oil demand hammered the sector.
The S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index fell 1.6 per cent in afternoon trade – around twice the loss of the broader market – following predictions that the price of short-term LNG deliveries to Asia will fall, or at best stabilise, next year.
A survey of industry experts conducted by Bloomberg cite an expected increase in supply of the fuel from Australian and Angola as one of the key reasons for the downbeat forecast.
Further, LNG shipments from the Middle East are also likely to be diverted from Europe and the US as their weak economies curtail demand for the gas.
This means 2012 could mark the end of the recent surge in LNG prices that saw Japan paying 29 per cent more of the gas in the first 11 months of 2011 compared with the same period in the previous year, and Korea stomaching a 26 per cent rise over the same period. Japan and Korea are the world's biggest and second biggest consumer of LNG.
There are also signs that the economic downturn in the developed Western economies are starting to drag on oil demand with US crude stockpiles surging by 9.6 million barrels last week. The price of crude is trading around the lowest level in a week after the spot WTI crude price tumbled 2 per cent on Wednesday to $US99.36 a barrel before stabilising this afternoon.
Woodside shed 1.7 per cent to $30.71, while
However, most brokers believe that these stocks are still worth buying despite the uncertain demand outlook for energy as they are trading on undemanding valuations.
The average one-year forecast price-earnings for stocks in the S&P/ASX 200 Energy Index stands at 17.9 times compared with their five-year average of 31.9 times.
The potential for a sharp spike in the oil price due to Iran's threat to block the Suez Canal and merger and acquisition activity are other supportive factors for the sector.

excellent location, private beach, delicious breakfast on the terrace with a see view, friendly and helpful staff air-conditioning blowing right at your face when sleeping :/
location, near the beach and the town center, and the quality of food in the restaurant+ service in beach restaurant and reception for a **** Hotel the infrastructure could be refitted, lift permanently out of order,
It was easy, comfortable, we had our privacy, good breakfast and the view was amazing No.
Clean, professional staff, great location with great views from the rear. A little expensive
I liked the modern design, the location, and the luxurious bedrooms..
Location was good Finding it was difficult as we were looking for the name Thalazur, whereas the hotel is just called Ile Rousse. The private beach is very cramped. Bathroom was poor - shower did not even have a screen. Breakfast not value for money
good location, just off beach and close to restaurants on a small point the decor is a bit dated but still a good hotel
Service - particularly the generous gesture of the Manager presenting us with a gift case of three bottles of wine at the end of our stay there as consolation for my husband having food poisoning from eating something at a restaurant outside Bandol. Sadly being on top of bars/restaurants cooking smells some times permeated the hotel.
Nice and clean room. Good location. Friendly staff. Good breakfast. Not the place for a one week seaside vacance. Air conditioning was very weak.
Normal to stay for 1 night! Bathroom is terribly bad!
The location was a little bit out of Toulon , But a lovely taxi boat ride accross the bay to toulon old town port. A bus journey was avilable. But a taxi could be expensive. A little bit out of Toulon Town, Taxi's a bit expensive
Staff very helpful and polite. Hotel modern and clean. Rooms, Parking, Pool and 24hr service excellent. No
Very courtious staff,made to feel welcome,our third visit and recommend this hotel,will return for sure no problems at all
Lovely room with good bathroom and private balcony.Beautiful view over the harbour and beyond.Nice to have tea-making facilities, with china mugs..all very clean..Didn't have breakfast but noticed tables outside near pool which looked sunny and welcoming. Good pool but would be too small if many guests wanting to use at same time.Location central and useful to walk to selection of restaurants and cafes.Free parking in hotel carpark very welcome. Confusion on paying the bill at checking -out Problem was that the staff were speaking English and therefore not clear to understand the amount which was different due to the city tax
The whole experience was a plesure.
Motivated, attentive staff and management. New facility, location right in the middle of the port. Nice views all around. Plenty of parking. Nice, big rooms, nice views of the port. elevator programming is very slow (door delay, start/stop), and it sounds like it needs lubrication badly (even though brand new). The door out to the terrace from the restaurant is heavy and difficult to open while carrying the buffet. The room fills with construction dust, but this should clear out after a couple of weeks. The parking gates swing open inward so there is the risk of a jamup if you're too far forward leaving the lot and someone is right behind you.
Great location, ferry to Toulon, staff very helpful
The beds were perfect, the pool was a real plus, the perfect stopover for us for our holidaydestination. The noise of the music at the harbourside
Very good price value relation !
very clean (brand new), right on the water, marina and bay, also beside a park, walking distance to some small cafe's. Nice rooms, innovative sliding blinds on the balconies breakfast option very expensive, did not use it.
Excellent location close to the marina and shopping, clean and comfortable bed, and good breakfast. I've stayed at close to 10 All Seasons and this one was the most in need of refurbishment with very outdated rooms (carpet, furniture, and fixtures).
Nice&friendly staff either at reception or in restaurant Breakfast is poor,one type of cheese,no eggs,charcuteries was only ham! Internet outlet at reception vvlimited only 1screen&10min.time!!!
No major complaints really The breakfast was a bit shy, even if we did have it quite late in the morning
Great location in the heart of the city. Located directly above the main shopping mall in Toulon, very convenient access for Carrefor grocery store, sports and electronics shopping. Nice to have WIFI, secure parking. Friendly and helpful staff.
Location was excellent for our trip - only 5 mins walk to Stade Mayol to watch the rugby, and about the same to the harbour with its many restaurants. Rooms were spacious and very clean and tidy. Also represented good value for money. One member of staff on reception wasn't very welcoming when we arrived and seemed disinterested in checking us in.
Close to the centre, next to rugby ground as that was purpose of trip. Good size room, nice bathroom, close to front where plenty of restaurants and bars only a few minutes from markets and shops. Not easy to find as signs not at every junction or not easy to see. Breakfast a little basic. Bar service a little slow and ran out of drink. Probably did not expect so many people after the rugby.
nice room and good breakfast, conveniant location stuff - poor English. Despite I had reservation seems they didn't record it...now, with my poor knowledge of French and mentioned their poor knowledge of English you can imagine how it was. Luckily, I had my laptop with the confirmation.
Close to everything, buses, port, shopping. found the pillows very uncomfortable, one not enough and two are too high....
Breakfast with great coffee espresso and croissants, good decoration, large room. Difficult to find, although we had a navigator system (GPS) with us. When we finally found it, I told it to the girl at the reception and her behaviour was not kind at all.Paying parking, not so good region of the hotel.
Difficult to find. No correct signs from the parking to the hotel entrance.
very nice people good location
It was very friendly and intimate. The owners were very attentive and considerate to their guests.
The owners were fantastic and really went out of their way to help us. The sea view room we were in was not really laid out so that you could enjoy the view without standing in a certain part of the room. Also, the hotel is a little further from the village centre and beaches than I would have liked (but still within a couple of minutes walking). That said, being up the hill the hotel gets good breezes which would be great in summer.
Close to town Petit breakfast was petit. Onl bread, butter and jam, coffe and tea.No ham, no cheese for 8 euro. I dont believe I saw the sea
Excellent location. Quiet yet near train station. Small room but entirely adequate. Good spot for a night or two. OK breakfast. Downstairs toilet a bit primitive but served its purpose.
Small, cosy hotel, easy to find thanks to good signs, friendly staff. Not far from city center.
Location. Quiet.
Check-in consisted of me announcing who I was and us being taken to the room. No passport check; no credit card swipe; no signing anything. Fastest I've ever checked-in to any hotel ever! Room was small but perfectly clean and adequate for what we wanted. Hotel is 5 minutes walk from the centre of town and the beaches, although you get fit walking up the steep hill to the hotel. Friendly staff. 5 minutes walk from railway station. Nothing. Brilliant holiday.
Well located, friendly staff, clean. Excellent value for money. A bit difficult to find due to the one-way streets. Nothing else.
Friendly, comfortable and very clean - in a lovely location.
Very clean, friendly staff, good location, good value, walking distance to the beach and the rest of the town. Cute dog. Staff don't speak any english at all.
Very nice hotel, lovely decorated room with a modern barhroom (room 3 @ Rez-de-chaussée). Enough space for a baby cot. Close to the town center and the beach. Shower floor above the rest of the bathroom floor. Obviously the bathroom wet after 1 minute of showering.
Friendly, clean Very very very very bad food
As a member of Priority Club 114 408 630 I was not too happy about the service and attitude.I was very pleased that my wife did not accompany me on this trip as she would have been unimpressed. See above....I will probably not use Holiday Inn in the future during my frequent travels unless you can compensate me in some way.
Located reasonably (10 min in taxi) from train station. Bit of a walk to main tourist precints.
breakfast on the 1st morning, we arrived at 9.30am and most of the cooked was gone and we waited til 10 but no other food arrived, didnt bother again,
Very good location for what we needed. The hotel is just 5 min walk from the train station (if you turn on the right street). Big room with a nice size bathroom. Also, we got a great discount price on booking.com, compared to the regular price at the hotel. The hotel needs to be renovated. A bit outdated for a 4 star hotel.
it was just a night as a sleep over to travel further to Nice ... i would say its not 4 stars , more like 3 stars
Staff very helpfull No
The facility to delay check-out to a more convenient time for our departure. The hotel was very quiet. The first room we were allocated overlooked the swimming pool. The window was screwed shut and the air conditioning didn't work. The bathroom was dirty and the whole room stank of cigarettes, despite being a non-smoking room. It was uninhabitable. The second room was clean, but the air conditioning was also broken. It was 24 degrees outside and, therefore, rather hotter inside. The window only opened a crack. That room was not usable either. After further discussions with the receptionist, we were moved to a third room with functioning air conditioning and opening windows. In addition to this, the four star rating of the hotel is rather inflated. I have stayed in better three star hotels in France and Italy.
Good location. Comfortable room. Good sized Bathroom.
Almost nothing The airconditioning did not work and the hotel was on a busy road making my stay terrible. I would not return ever and was very disappointed.
easy to access everywhere silent and kindly
helpful staff, clean room, nice view, very good location, close to transport links and city centre, easy to get to places from no fridge, no tea-coffee facilities. Especially dissapointed absence of a fridge.
Is a few minutes walk from the railway station and about 10 minutes from the marina and waterfront area. Staff took extra care to meet my needs, without being asked. Nice haven in the city centre
Staff very helpful, friendly and seemed happy. I liked the rooms, very, very clean, lovely bathroom with SEPERATE toilet. Lift is very small but that disn't make much difference to us. I enjoyed my stay there. The location was fine too.
the room was wide, clean, with a big bathroom no freezer, and the big drawback is the nose!!!!the hotel is beside a big boulevard and even the double window could not cut the cars nose! so we slept very bad...
Staff especially good and very helpful. Great personal attention, much better than many larger hotels. A bit noisy and the carpets in the room were in need of cleaning.
I liked the friendly female receptionist. I did not like the stained carpet, the location was terrible considering my family stayed on the waterfront in a nicer room for the same money.
Service-minded front desk staff and generous check-out hours.
ok location
spacious room, nice change to have bath as well as shower
Nicely located and eqipped with necessary facilities Staff cordiality and location
only one small lift for whole hotel even though stayed on first floor was not allowed to use the stairs because you had to go through the breakfast room had to wait 10 mins to get out several times.
The stairs to the upper floors are a death trap and the lights didn't work properly. It is a miracle that someone did not break their neck.
the location i was very disappointed. i had stayed there 4 weeks before. this time the room was quite dreadful. the shower hardly worked and i had to hold it in my hand since there was nowhere to hang it on the wall. there was no mini bar either - contrary to what was announced. a major disappointment ... but thx god the hotel gad not moved. so the location was as great as before ... to choose this hotel is a bit risky since the rooms are very different from one another
Very helpful and friendly reception staff. Excellent location. Rooms good size, facilities good and very clean. Good bathroom. Breakfast average and had to request coffee/food to be replenished several times. Noise from adjacent rooms very audible.
the proximity to the marina;the location in pedestrianised area of bustling cafe restaurant quarter. Absolutely nothing (but the lift was unreliable on 2nd thoughts!)
The location was fantastic - very central and on a semi-pedestrianised area. There was an excellent restaurant just around the corner (Les Artistes). The room was double glazed and air conditioned. The beds were comfortable, if rather narrow. The breakfast was reasonable for Euros 8, but facilities for boiling eggs would have made it better, and a top up of the ham/cheese platter without being asked! Staff were friendly and informative, providing maps and details of public transport, markets, beaches, etc. There were no drawers, just a few hangers in the wardrobe. The bathroom was modern, but there was no soap dish in the shower, and the shower head did not have a hook, so you had to hold it whilst showering.
The hotel is very well situated, in the heart of old Toulon, with good cafes, a market, shops close by and it is also very near to the water front. Parking available. Nothing. It was great. I would strongly recommend it.
excellent location in city centre. Quiet room, free wifi. The breakfast was too expensive.
Wonderful, helpful,friendly,polite receptionist.
Convenient location in a very nice town. There was a very musty smell in the room that we couldn't get rid of.The walls were very thin.
The room and friendly atmosphere A very expensive breakfast
the location, sauna & pool
Lovely bright spacious room.Staff very courteous and helpfull. No english language television bar CNN.Hotel advertised as having satelite tv.
Its a hotel that I would like always to come back for. Restaurants are good but expensive.
By far and away the best thing about this hotel was its location and view Service was highly variable, the wi-fi did not work in our room as it was too far from the router but staff would not admit it or send someone to sort it out. Food at restaurant was way over-priced and only one restaurant open in peak season despite advertising two.
Great location, good facilities (eg golf course) Decoration, fittings and furnishings felt a bit tired - ready for a make-over. Couldn't make air-conditioning work (could have been my ineptitude and for a one-night stopover couldn't be bothered to take it up with hotel staff!)
The staff was charming, knowledgeable and helpful. The view was wonderful and the pool area was lovely. This hotel has seen better days. The rooms are spartan and the entire place needs a paint job. All the woodwork is scratched and dinged. For a "luxury" hotel it's short on amenities--no newspaper at your door, no individual soaps, shampoo, moisturizer, shower cap, etc. The fitness center had a few elipticals and exercyles. It was in a (stained and worn) carpeted area off the indoor pool. The heat and humidity from the pool and hot tub made the room unusable. The tennis courts were neglected. A medium grade Best Western is a better value.
The peasceful relaxed atmosphere of the hotel and setting.Very helpful staff. Spacious rooms with dressing gowns and slippers included. Difficulty in finding a parking space, if the golfers hadn't left before we came back late afternoon.
The location is delightful and this is why we visited the Hotel again. This lovely chic Hotel is looking a bit tired. There are too many different themes of decoration when there should be one throughout. The corridors need re-decorating - at the moment they are like being in an institution - creams and whites with a reflecting paint would be perfect with a modern lighting system and ornate mirrors with heavy ornate painted wooden frames and foliage murals highlighted with spotlights - to create the chic ambience of style and luxury in these important internal areas. We were in Room 114 which was delightful once we were inside. This was a sexy, romantic chic Hotel when I visited her several years ago - it wouldn't take a lot of expenditure to restore her style once more. Our friends were disappointed too
Location The hotel is "stuck in the middle". Quality of rooms and hotel facilities is mediocre at best. Prices (high) are not justified for what you get. Staff is not polite. You do not feel welcome as a family and you will not get the quality you pay for as a business/solo traveller.
Location by the sea Parking nightmare. The hotel has 4 very samll parking places for 28 rooms.
way the rooms are furnished / decorated, breakfast quality, friendly personel, location etc ...
Location was ideal, 20 minutes walk to city (rugby stadium) and close to beaches and coastal walks. Excellent restaurants nearby.
Convenience -We were there to begin a cruise the next day.
Excellent location, a few minutes stroll from the Mourillon beaches and walks. Dreadful sound insulation - could hear every creak from neighbouring rooms.
The sea view from the room, the excellent restaurant, the secure parking, the free internet access. No. But the website did not mention that the restaurant was closed on Sunday.
location parking/garage facilities for motor bikes insufficient, unsafe.
A spectacular hotel. If you choose the view rooms you will not be disappointed.
Out of the oppressive central area and with oblique sea views. Unusually adequate bed for a South of France hotel. Excellent restaurant 200 metres to the east.
Terrace overlooking sea. Very clean - staff try to be helpful. Reception staff did not have town map. Had no info on tourist facilities or attractions. This was the only hotel in 14 nights with this kind of experience: we put it down to Toulon not being a tourist town and the poor training of the weekend receptionist. Breakfast overpriced so we ate ealsewhere.
Big room We arived a little bit before the check in time.I Asked the receptionist whether they have our room ready.I Said that I understand that it is not check in time yet, but we arrived a long way with a 8 month baby and it would be very nice of her to check. The receptionist said that it is not check in time and did not bother to check.On 12 -voila!- All rooms suddenly are ready... Near highway-noisy
good hotel for reasonable price, clean and comfortable with large parking spase, the breakfast costs 12 euros/person - rather expensive.
The room The food at the hotel restaurant and the hotel staff attitude at the reception. They didn't show being concerned about client satisfaction.

Hey Spry:fans,
I am going to have a couple themes running through my posts over the coming weeks and months.
The first is "Why Spry?". In this, I will discuss how and why Spry came about, what our goals were and where we are going.
The second is "What's Next?". This will talk about some of the features and changes coming up in 1.5.
Today, we will start with "Why Spry?"
The Spry team is a small subset of the Dreamweaver team. In the fall of 2005, we were starting to think about the next set of new features. Ajax was making its name known and it was pretty obvious, as a web design tool, that we should look into it.
We started looking into the various frameworks that were available. After looking through a bunch, some themes developed:
- Many had a lot of dependencies: many files had to be corralled to enable functionality.
- It was hard to style: Markup was injected programmatically. It was hard to know what code ended up on you page.
- It wasn't easy. The learning curve was pretty steep.
But we didn't want to make our own framework. We thought that maybe Dreamweaver could support a popular framework or two…
Then we thought about Dreamweaver.
- Injecting markup wouldn't be good. You want to see it and style it in Design View.
- Custom tags wouldn't be good. There's a learning curve and rendering issues.
- Lots of dependencies to track: no one likes that.
- Tough to support something that someone else writes. Difficult to maintain code parity.
So 2 things came out of this:
- There is room to innovate and simplify
- We should write our own framework
As we started to think about this and prototype things, our Spry tenets began to develop:
- Use what you know: Use HTML and CSS to markup and style the page. Avoid custom tags.
- Don't inject markup. You can't style it if you can't see it.
- Keep it simple. Distill common functionality into an 'easy to understand and use' element. After all, computers are supposed to the hard stuff for us.
- Keep dependencies to a minimum.
- Make it page-centric. We saw that a lot of benefit to ajax was adding small pieces of advanced functionality to existing page. We aren't creating an enterprise level application framework. We want to make HTML pages better.
With these ideas in mind, we started building the foundations of Spry.In future posts, I will get into more details about how we got to custom attributes and more details behind the development of the framework.Thanks,Don

Rockefeller impostor sentenced for Calif. murder
Credit: Ted Fitzgerald (file)
LOS ANGELES — A small, bespectacled German immigrant who invented a glamorous life for himself in the United States by posing as an heir to the fabled Rockefeller fortune was sentenced Thursday to 27 years to life in prison for a California cold-case murder.
Representing himself after firing his lawyers, Christian Gerhartsreiter, 52, asserted that he did not commit the mid-1980s murder of John Sohus in the wealthy city of San Marino and asked to read a voluminous motion he had submitted to the court. When Superior Court Judge George Lomeli refused, he withdrew the motion.

Hi, actually introducing LIMIT and OFFSET with ORDER BY to DELETE/UPDATE would make it much easier to push data from one (say "queue") table to another. And to fetch chunks of queue entries updating their status in one statement. Now I have to do SELECT...ORDER BY...LIMIT and then do some magic with arrays of IDs and updates/deletes or UPDATE ... WHERE id in (SELECT .. ORDER BY... LIMIT) RETURNING ... to make that work, but this is still possible to do with the WHERE clause, though I am not quite sure if that is most efficient in comparison to the direct approach. And speaking about pushing data from one table to another, what I really would like to be able to do would be also something like: INSERT INTO ... DELETE FROM ... WHERE... ORDER BY.. [LIMIT...] RETURNING...; this would be also quite efficient when re-arranging data in table partitions (though LIMIT/OFFSET there will be just nice to have possibility for reducing chunk sized of data being moved). Additionally we need quite often to clean up some log tables depending not on the timestamps but on the number of rows in that tables, so leaving only last N newest records in a table... OFFSET would be really cool to have for that usecase as well... With best regards, -- Valentine Gogichashvili

I Am Civilized - Poem by Shruti Goswami
Takes a pounding
Every time
A politically correct
The crime of a rapist,
Every time
Breasts are flashed
As part of celebration
Of a man's game
With a ball;
My vagina
Takes a pounding
Every time
Politicization of rape
Victims victimized
Muscles flexed
Girls put up
As cheap commodities
In media and brothels
For men to buy.
And all of them
For whom
Flesh and vital stats
Getting laid
With no strings attached
Chase and hound
Without a care
For the soul inside
That hourglass
For those who lust
With tongues wagging
Or with eyes ogling
And boast of being
Manly enough:
Patriarchy teaches
Men will be men
Worse than animals
That the only way
To control women
Is to leash in
Her sexuality.
That rape is nothing
But a tool
To take revenge
On an enemy
That buying sex
Is just a way
To endorse
Male polygamy
That the male psyche
Should start
With erection
And end
With ejaculation.
When will it teach
To think
Men have a soul;
Will it teach
A man and woman
Are a whole
That there's much more
Beneath the flesh
That there's a soul
To unite and fight
Against greater causes
Than mere display
Of unabashed power
Establish that which is
For every human
A right?
My vagina
Takes a pounding
No matter
In which safe haven
I reside.
I still belong
To the minority
In a civilization
That has abused
And conveniently lost
The meaning
Of the very word.

Mercedes Releases 6x6 G63 AMG Specs
Mercedes-Benz has finally dropped full details on its insane G63 AMG 6x6. The machine puts 544 horsepower to all six wheels thanks to a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V8. A seven-speed gearbox shuttles power to the ground via three sets of portal axles, which helps give this machine a full 15.75 inches of ground clearance. By comparison, the standard G63 AMG sits with just 8.27 inches of ground clearance. The extra lift allows this 6x6 to ford nearly 40 inches of water and run massive 37-inch tires. All told, there are five differential locks on this thing, all controlled by a special "locking logic" that provides the best traction possible for any given situation.
The controls offer up three stages of locking, which we can only assume range from JKLOL to OMGWTF. Right now, AMG says this monstrosity is only a show vehicle, but we imagine it wouldn't take much to convince the team to whip up one of your very own.

Hi, is there a way to preserve the history of typed-in expressions across Run clicks? Right now, I lose all previous interactions when I press Run (after I make changes to the source in the top window). Is there an equivalent to the "up" arrow from CLI-based interfaces? Copy&pasting is fragile. -- Dan

Anthony Tao of beijingcream blog points us to this Guardian photo essay by photographer Ami Vitale.
He says the photography "reveals a darker, sinister side, a world of paraphilia, cages, and kinkplay in which China's national symbol is transformed into an object of flesh that – willingly or unwillingly — engages in deviant sex and/or some sort of atavistic fetishism."
If this stuff gets you worked up, Tao also writes panda erotica.

Learning to knit
Inspired by the idea of being able to knit really fun things for the kids, in terms of crafts and toys to play with, I am determined to learn to knit. Oh, yes I know you're thinking….you don't knit already!?! Because it does seem like many many of my friends knit on a regular basis and being a Waldorf homeschooling household you'd think I'd know how to knit. However, I don't…and it's not easy for me to comprehend knitting either. Learning the slip knot when wrapping took me days and days. And this lovely little row of what is called "cast on" (so I've learned) took me nearly 45 minutes to figure out…and I'm not even sure I've done it correctly.
How will I learn to knit? Well, luckily my husband knows how to do basic knitting! And he's agreed to teach me. If that's not enough, I'm really considering a local knitting class – a very basic one.
The first project I'd like to do – once I graduate from the "cast on" stage is little squares of various solid colors for the kids to play with. I look forward to learning to do my little project and will post my progress here for those who like me aspire to knit and for you that are experts to give me feedback.

Effects of Disease Activity and Use of Antimalarials on the Risk of Coronary-Artery Calcifications in SLE Patients.

Traditional cardiovascular risk-factors do not fully explain premature atherosclerosis in SLE. We aimed to identify lupus-related factors associated with coronary-artery calcifications in an inception cohort for the study of atherosclerosis.
We included 139 patients (93% females) with SLE of recent-onset at enrollment, w/o preexisting coronary heart disease. At enrollment, a standardized medical evaluation was done assessing lupus characteristics, medications, cardiovascular risk-factors, and laboratory tests (lipid profile, homocystein, hsCRP, autoantibodies). Patients were seen every 36 months, and assessed for disease activity and medications. Every year, information was updated and a blood sample drawn.
At 5.5 ± 2.9 years of follow-up, all the 139 patients and 100 healthy subjects, matched for age and sex, were screened for coronary-artery calcifications using a 64-slice Multidetector Computed Tomography.
A nested analysis of lipids and inflammatory molecules was conducted among all lupus patients with calcifications and a random sample without calcifications (ratio 1:4), matched for age, sex and disease duration. Measurements were done in samples drawn at enrollment, mid follow-up, and at screening: total cholesterol, cHDL, cLDL, triglycerides, Lp(a) lipoprotein, and Apo B; CD40 ligand, IL-6, IP-10, MCP-1, sICAM-1, vCAM-1 (ELISA). Also, fasting levels of homocystein, and hsCRP were determined at enrollment and at screening.
At enrollment, mean (SD) age of lupus patients was 27.2 (9.1) years, lupus duration 5.4 (3.8) months, and SLEDAI-2K score 6.9 (5.8). At screening for calcification, mean age of patients and controls was similar (31.8 ± 8.8 vs. 32.2 ± 9.8 years), as most cardiovascular risk-factors; however lupus patients had more often hypertension, higher levels of homocystein and hsCRP, wider waist, and females were more often post-menopausal, P<0.05.
Coronary-calcifications were detected in 10 patients (7.2%) and 1 control (OR 7.7, 95% CI 1.05336.3, P = 0.02). Calcium scores in 9 patients ranged between >020, and in the remaining patient 402; in the positive control it was 239. Calcifications in lupus patients were detected since age 2130 years and from 3 years of diagnosis.
In comparison to patients w/o calcifications, patients with calcifications were older, females more often postmenopausal, had higher Apo-B levels, IgG aPL antibodies, and the Framingham risk-scores were higher (p<0.05). Disease activity along the course of lupus was higher (SLEDAI-2K AUC 20.3±8.3 vs. 13.7±8.3, P=0.02), and the period of moderate/severe activity longer (SLEDAI-2K score >=7, 20.0±18.3 vs. 8.0±12.5 months, P=0.006). Cumulative doses of prednisone and cyclophosphamide were higher (P<0.05), but use of antimalarials lower (20% vs 65%, P=0.006). Longitudinal analyses of lipids, cytokines and chemokines did not show differences. Logistic regression analysis showed an independent association of age, Apo-B, lupus activity (P=0.004), and use of antimalarials (P=0.008) with calcifications.
Lupus activity is an independent risk factor for coronary-artery calcifications, a risk that might be reduced using antimalarials.

Smart cushion tracks inactivity
The average white collar worker spends almost their entire day in their office chair, and it isn't doing anything for their health. Not only does sitting for too long mean less calories burned throughout the day, but it can also cause back problems if the posture is bad. In the past we've seen office furniture redesigns in the form of the activity-inducing Buoy chair, but now Darma aims to help workers track their health while they're at the desk.

THURROCK Council has been accused of squandering thousands of pounds on failed attempts to fix a leaky roof which is making shopkeepers' lives a misery.
Retailers in Canterbury Parade, South Ockendon, have been putting up with water leaking into their shops for three years and are finally at the end of their tether.
They claim the council's failure to fix the roof is costing them time and money, while ward councillor Lynn Carr claims the council's botched job of fixing the roof has meant thousands of pounds wasted.
Christine Chaplin, owner of Christine's Barber Shop, said: "I complained about water coming through the ceiling and running down the walls.
"The council sent out numerous people who took pictures, but nobody really sorted it out.
"They eventually decided to put a new roof on and at great expense they took all the tiles off and put new felt on. It hasn't stopped the leaks."
Christine had to pay £700 for scaffolding while her building was repainted.
The council compensated her by paying for the walls to be plastered, but she lost out on more money when damage caused by the leak caused her to have to close the shop.
She added: "I lost a day of work because one of the leaks blew the electrics. It was a fire hazard."
Nilesh Patel, owner of Parade News, is also frustrated that the businesses are being put at risk.
He said: "All of the time there is a problem.
"The ceiling has broken and the top of the fridge got wet, but I can't put a bag over it because it will get hot.
"Nobody came from the council to see me. It is important for somebody to come and see."
Tory Cllr Carr told the Gazette: "There's an obvious problem here.
"It took them two-and-a-half years to replace the roof and still there's a problem.
"Thousands of pounds have been thrown at this.
"Those shopkeepers have suffered despite paying their rents."

Workers building the national broadband network were warned in emails or in person by major construction firm and contractor
One email sent to subcontractors in Victoria by the listed contractor in late March, and seen by The Australian Financial Review, warned workers that "any issues related to [contractual work] are to be raised after NBN [Co] leaves", referring to a meeting scheduled between Service Stream and the subcontractors.
One labourer who received the email, but cannot speak publicly for contractual reasons, said they were "dumbfounded".
"In other words, 'Shut up, don't say anything, wait until NBN has gone and then we can talk about things'," he said. "They're just wanting to keep the slate nice and clean [with NBN Co]."
Similar warnings were given to workers in South Australia, where Service Stream is building the NBN under its Syntheo joint venture with
Although confidentiality clauses preventing major contracting firms and their subcontractors speaking to the public are commonplace, those with knowledge of the rollout say it is abnormal for contractors to prevent workers from talking directly to the company charged with delivering fibre to 93 per cent of homes and businesses.
"They're specifically told not to talk to NBN management," said an industry source close to the network build.
"Of course some of them do, and do so quite openly, but they've been told not to. Organisations always like to control talking, but this is different when you've got [NBN Co] not being communicated with by the people doing the work. That's what seems bizarre to me," the source said.
Service Stream chief financial officer
Subcontractors have privately argued that contractual conditions and pay rates are major points of contention with the construction firms, leading some to walk off the job or refuse to take up work in the first place.
Communications Minister
"This is a contract between a main contractor to the NBN and its sub-contractors," he said. "This is not a directive from NBN Co. There are obviously . . . some commercial issues that are in confidence."

S3 Break Squeak - New Discs and Pads advice
Having a lot of problems with my 08/08 S3 breaks, they
every time I break at a certain pressure and it's very embarrassing.
Im pretty clueless on mechanics of cars to be honest (just love driving them). Im hoping someone with good knowledge can advise me on the solution - whether it be something to
add to the current discs and pads (heard copper grease helps?)
or whether it's
new discs and pads time?
If so any advice on makes to go with?
The discs and pads are
worn to need replacing so not sure what's causing it. Audi are as useful as ever and have told me their idea of a solution is replace them with like for like but I'm not convinced as a friend of mine with TTS had the same problems. He's put RS kit on but I have 18" wheels so I don't like the idea of that on mine.
Would appreciate any advice you may have
Thanks in advance....
If you bring the car up to JJB Motors on the 28th of this month for the BBQ i'm sure someone will take a look
Hi Diggy
Sounds like you got brake dust build up caused from heavy braking... take the pads out get a wire brush or flat screw driver and clean the carryer that the pads sit on and put a bit of copper grease on were you cleaned.. dont put any on the discs or face of the pads.. not a hard job just wheel off and 2 allen keys to move the caliper out the way(99% sure its allen key)

St. Kate's Newswire :: St. Catherine University, St. Paul, MN :: News and Events
YWCA partners with St. Kate's for women's triathlon
The community is invited to team up with St. Kate's as a triathlete, on a relay team or as an essential volunteer for the 4th Annual YWCA Women's Triathlon.
Celebrating women's strength
For the second year, St. Kate's is proud to partner with the YWCA of Minneapolis for the 4th Annual YWCA Women's Triathlon, the only women's triathlon in Minnesota. The race celebrates the strength of women of all ages and abilities and invites women ages 15 through 81 to compete or join in the excitement as a volunteer.
The triathlon will include a 500-yard swim, a 15-mile bike route and a 2.5 mile run at Lake Nokomis in Minneapolis. Participants may enter the event individually or compete as part of a two- or three-person relay team. Training support is also available for beginners.
In 2010, nearly 100 Katies, friends and family volunteered on the bike route to cheer on 2,000 competitors—nearly half were racing for the first time! There is still time to sign up or volunteer at the event, which begins at 8 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 14, at Lake Nokomis.
Volunteers are winners too
Volunteers will receive an invitation to a pre–race appreciation and training party at Old Chicago in Minneapolis, a commemorative YWCA volunteer shirt and complimentary food and beverages at the event as well as the opportunity to compete for door prizes.
To volunteer or register, visit YWCA Women's Triathlon. To see photos from last year's event, view the 2010 YWCA Women's Triathlon slideshow.

The New York Post offers an update on the attempt by Hollywood stars Ben Affleck and Matt Damon to craft a movie about the infamous wife-swap between two Yankees pitchers in the '70s.
Affleck has acknowledged he and his brother Casey are rewriting a script of The Trade, inspired by Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich trading spouses in 1972. Susanne Kekich and Peterson are still married, but the fling was short-lived for Marilyn Peterson and Kekich.
The Post says Kekich has a new life and family in New Mexico, and won't assist the movie production. (Can't really blame him, since Affleck and Damon are die-hard Red Sox fans, and perhaps can't be trusted to give Yankees a fair shake.)
The Post says Naomi Watts, Rachel Weisz and Rebecca Hall are being considered for the female leads and that Damon might direct.
