Movies • compiled by Sean P. Means
Valentine's Day comes a little early at the movies, with a charming romantic comedy with zombies.
"Warm Bodies" centers on R (Nicholas Hoult), one of the many undead people roaming around an unnamed American city, occasionally hunting down the few remaining humans. But he feels really conflicted about it, and even more so when he sees the beautiful Julie (Teresa Palmer), he starts to have stirrings of human feelings a condition that soon spreads to R's fellow undead. Director-writer Jonathan Levine ("50/50") deftly mixes the best of both genres, the zombie movie and the romantic comedy, and takes full advantage of Hoult's deadpan performance and Palmer's feisty charm.
"Stand Up Guys" is a waste of everyone's time, notably stars Al Pacino, Christopher Walken and Alan Arkin. They play old friends in the crime game, who reunite on the day Pacino's Val gets out of prison after 28 years for killing a mobster's son. What Val doesn't know is that Doc (Walken's character) has been ordered by the mobster (Mark Margolis) to whack Val by the next morning. Pacino and Walken (and, briefly, Arkin) bounce around this undernourished story, riffing against each other because there's nothing in the script to play against.
The other studio release this week is "Bullet to the Head," an ultra-violent action pic starring Sylvester Stallone. It was not screened for Utah critics.
The major art-house entry this week is "Rust and Bone," a brutal romantic drama focusing on a tough boxer (Matthias Schoenaerts) who meets his match in an orca trainer (Marion Cotillard) and what happens to their relationship when she loses her legs in a mishap with a killer whale. Director Jacques Audiard ("A Prophet") and his cast don't sentimentalize for a moment, and the result is a hard-edged, emotional experience.
The best show of the week is playing at the Tower Theatre: Compilations of the Oscar short-film nominees. The live-action program has some gems, but the animated category is loaded with brilliance including Disney's "Paperman," the found-object head-twister "Fresh Guacamole," and "Maggie Simpson in 'The Longest Daycare.'"

Google voice is much Better
So this is just another feature the jailbreak has already got that Apple steal.
Their voice recognition is so pathetic you need to jailbreak to make it useful.
Ever since I installed it from Cydia I've been using it on a daily basis. I no longer need to look at the screen to load an app.
I highly doubt Apple's will be as good as the Cydia version.
I guess they are working on another reason to sue Samsung and HTC? :-P Next is to patent life so we can all be sued by the worst company to ever grace the world.
As an Apple fanboy said the other day "The iPhone is a great phone when its jailbroken but when its stock its a piece of crap." and "Too bad its made by the worst company on the planet"
If the iPhone was made by google it would've been the best phone on the market and everyone would have one. As its made be Apple its locked so tight its stupid and missing the most basic of features.
The speech recognition in Cydia is what Apple should put in iOS. Its so easy and it works great. I've had more luck with that than I've had with Windows and a few speech recognition programs.
I've even got that working on the iPad. Now try doing that without jailbreaking it.
Another feature removed by Apple for some unknown stupid reason.
Google make Android phones - do you think they are better than the iPhone? If so why do you have an iPhone?
The reason the iPhone is so popular and IMHO the best phone available atvthe moment, is precisely because Apple lock it down so tight and control all aspects of hardware and software.
Yes, JailBreaking makes it better for those of us that want it but most people want a phone that just works, which is what the iPhone does. Android offers a lot of customisation but most people don't want it, which is why the iPhone sells so well and only about 10% of iPhone owners JB.
Having used both I can safely say that iOS just works better. I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and the hardware in this phone is way better than a iPhone 4. Android runs great on it and I can customize tons of things right out of the box that I would normally have to jailbreak an iPhone to do the same. However after using it for a couple days I missed my iPhone 4. Getting around the UI, using the phone, getting stuff done (not to mention the app store is far superior than the junkie android market) is way easier/faster on a iPhone than on the Samsung.
Apple has their certain methods of doing things which may anger some people but their is a reason they do what they do. They make products that work. Seeing how successful they have been at doing this I find it hard to believe that anyone could say they are the worst company in the world.
I was a fan of apple, I bough the 1st gen iPhone for $600 and a 3gs when they came out as a upgrade, but A) why do I have to jailbreak to change basic settings B) why does apple steal other peoples work (every new feature on the phone is stolen from the jailbreak comunity) but then they sue everyone that breaths because they patent everything from soup to nuts? On top of that instead of making better products they just sue every other company and force then to stop selling their better products.
However, after swapping between the two I realise that not being able to even look at files on my phone or have a video wallpaper or choose my own ringtone or message tone ... let alone bluetooth anything to someone or sync the phone over Wifi.
The Galaxy S2 just does way too many things that the iPhone 4 can't and it does them faster and with the same responsiveness. The LED backlit screen give better contrast and the 1080p HD video recording and 8MP camera blows it out of the water.
I would love to think that the iPhone 5 will beat all this stuff but it just isn't going to because most of the problems are not hardware based but just locked down software.
Some people say that the general public don't want to customise their phone as much as Android do but surely they would like to just see their files and at least send something over Bluetooth!!?
You can set your own ringtone on a iPhone and syncing over wifi is part of the 5.0 software. I agree with you on the hardware, the GS2 does blow the iPhone 4 out of the water, although that is to be expected since it was just released and the iPhone 4 is over a year old.

Rihanna cancels birthday party after being bitten, punched by Chris Brown
While Chris Brown has been put on ice by Wrigley's and now the NBA All-Star Games, Rihanna canceled her upcoming 21st birthday bash after being allegedly assaulted by Chris Saturday night. E! News reports:
The bash for about 200 or so guests was to have had a carnival theme with various "sideshow" attractions, says a source familiar with the planning.
Although organizers were having difficulty securing sponsors for the party because of the economy, my source says Cîroc vodka had already or was about to sign on as the leading sponsor.
"They were talking about it being at Gotham Hall, but I don't think it was definite just yet," the source says.
TMZ has obtained information on Rihanna's injuries and it's no surprise she'll be avoiding the public for the time being:
As we reported, the photos show major contusions on both sides of the singer's face — there is serious swelling and bruising. Her lip is split and her nose bloody. We have now confirmed there are bite marks on one of her arms and on several fingers.
And we now know this… Rihanna claims Brown struck her with his fists and that's what did the damage. There was no object used in the alleged attack.
To anyone who says I should reserve judgment, there's no "whole story" that's going to justify beating and biting a woman. Unless Rihanna was getting ready to set off a nuclear bomb in Los Angeles. If that ends up being the case, then okay yeah, my apologies, Chris Brown. Until then, you're a bitchass.

Timing is everything when it comes to successful reproductive programs, and that includes timing of vaccinations to help prevent reproductive diseases. Following the timing guidelines on product labels is critically important to helping guarantee safety and efficacy.
"Vaccinating against reproductive diseases helps keep cows pregnant, helping protect your reproductive program and bottom line," says Victor Cortese, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ABVP, Director, Veterinary Specialties Group, Pfizer Animal Health. "However, working with your veterinarian to set up vaccination programs and following labeled directions are key to vaccine efficacy and safety, especially when using modified-live virus (MLV) vaccines."
Understand MLV vaccines
Different types of vaccines, such as an MLV or killed vaccine, stimulate the immune system in different ways. MLV vaccines contain live organisms that undergo limited replication within the body, while killed vaccines use dead organisms.
"MLV vaccines closely mimic a natural infection, since the animal is actually seeing the modified pathogen in a more natural form," Dr. Cortese says. "As a result, MLV vaccines can help create an effective, balanced and what should be an entire immune response."
Studies involving infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) virus vaccines have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of MLV vaccines, such as BOVI-SHIELD GOLD® FP. Data is on file regarding the safety and efficacy of this product. To learn more, visit www.pfizeranimalhealth.com.
Take steps to help protect your herd
"MLV vaccines are safe to use, but there are risks involved when using them in pregnant cattle," Dr. Cortese says. "Using these vaccines against their label indications and without supervision from a veterinarian are the biggest risks of all."
Dr. Cortese also recommends additional tips to using MLV vaccines successfully.
- Regularly consult your veterinarian: Your veterinarian is a valuable resource regarding the science and proper use of vaccines. Include your veterinarian as part of your reproductive health team.
- Write vaccination programs: Having written programs, which include timing guidelines, for your vaccinations will provide the guidelines for you and anyone administering vaccines on your operation. Reviewing them regularly with your employees and your veterinarian also will help keep them up to date.
- Keep accurate records: Vaccine administrations should be included in your reproductive records. Record the date the first vaccination is given, and review the records to determine when a booster shot is needed.

(written from a Production point of view)
Seven of Nine runs afoul of a Section 31 operation.
- From the book jacket
- They are the self-appointed protectors of the Federation. Amoral, shrouded in secrecy, answerable to no one, Section 31 is the mysterious covert operations division of Starfleet, a rogue shadow group committed to safeguarding the Federation at any cost.
- Someone or something is trying to kill Seven of Nine. As the crew races against time to save millions of refugees from an imminent stellar cataclysm, the former Borg becomes the target of several seemingly random but potentially lethal "accidents." The investigation reveals a truth more terrifying than anyone ever imagined, as Captain Kathryn Janeway and the crew of the Starship USS Voyager fight for their lives against the most unexpected enemy of all.
- Excerpts of copyrighted sources are included for review purposes only, without any intention of infringement.
Director Sloan is sitting on a rather uncomfortable seat in darkened crew quarters. A woman enters and activates the lights, instantly noticing Sloan. She inquires as to why she has been assigned to the USS Voyager. Sloan explains about Voyager's actions in the Cardassian Demilitarized Zone and the Maquis turning the area into a hot military area. Sloan then goes to explain that because of these actions, the woman's assignment is to conduct reconnaissance. Despite disliking the idea, the woman accepts her mission, and is told to neutralize the Maquis threat if possible, if Captain Kathryn Janeway can't go through with her mission to stop the Maquis.
With the briefing over, the woman becomes more comfortable and attempts to seduce Sloan with a steak and mushroom dinner with music. Sloan, having been trained to resist seduction, denies her offer and heads for the door. He offers his best of luck on her mission and leaves, knowing that the woman had been trying to test him.
Chapter OneEdit
23 Hours, 7 MinutesEdit
In Cargo bay 2, Seven of Nine opens her eyes, knowing that her regeneration cycle was incomplete. She looks around for the cause and sees B'Elanna Torres at the alcove controls. Torres apologizes for waking her up, which Seven knows is an incorrect statement for her state of unconsciousness. She lets the error pass and inquires as to why Torres interrupted her cycle. Torres mentions about Janeway's interest in two stars that are to collide near Voyager's present location, and remarks on how it is a rare sight for a starship. Seven notes that it would be an interesting sight, but would be dangerous if they were too close. Her voice trails off as Torres tells Seven that is the reason why she was interrupted. Janeway wants Seven to perform the calculations as to when the stars are to collide, despite Torres being able to do the job. Seven steps out of her alcove to prepare for the trip to astrometrics. To analyze data, Torres wants to join her on the trip, despite Seven's inner desire to have some time alone.
As Seven and Torres proceeds out of the cargo bay, Seven is handed a PADD which contains information about the collision of the stars. Right before they leave the bay, an explosion occurs in Seven's alcove, knocking her back into a cargo barrel. As she regains her composure, she finds the PADD, folded in an L-shape, and cannot find Torres. With smoke filling the room, she calculates as to where Torres should be and attempts to look to her right. She is able to find her, albeit unconscious and with major wounds. Seven hits her combadge and requests and emergency transport. Picking up Torres in a fireman's carry, the two are transported to sickbay.
23 Hours, 5 MinutesEdit
On the Traveler, a vessel constructed by the Rhawn to preserve their civilization, a mother named Lyspa, with her daughter Andra stand at a viewport looking into space. Andra asks her mother why they can't view two nearby suns which are expected to collide with each other. Still looking out the viewport, Lyspa notes that it looks out towards the future, to a new star system, rather than their old home, to which Andra replies that she needs no new home, that Traveler is her only home.
Despite this, Andra still wants to view the suns. Lyspa states that she'll pay for time, though Andra denies her, stating she can view them in school. On the other hand, Lyspa was more concerned about the collision of the two system stars, and if Traveler would survive the result.
22 Hours, 35 MinutesEdit

>Racing>Sub 2:00 Half Marathon thread
Cee - I have the same problem with my hands freezing - they refuse to work! I hope your next half is in warmer weather. You're so close - you've got a sub 2 in the bag.
Zelanie - I've got to add my voice to all the Yays you've been getting on your new shoes. Something about running in new ones that makes it seem easier. How are your sore parts feeling?
Flat - I'm with you on preferring to be outside, but I have to draw the line at running on icy roads. I'm inherently clumsy anyway, and when you put something slippery under my feet, it never turns out good. I hope you guys get a warm up soon.
hector - I'm glad you're over here now! Only a couple months until your half - are you getting excited?
Wing - I hope your bug doesn't last long, and you're fully recovered by Sunday.
2ft - Welcome to the TM club! Once I get past 5 miles I don't mind it so much, but the first 5 are always the toughest for some reason. Having something good to watch on tv does help.
Edith - Woohoo - you're here! I'm sorry about the ankle - is it feeling better by now?
amn - Like miele said, flat is good. Sign up for that race! You're so close, maybe the flat course will push you over that sub 2 hill.
nathan - Great job on the streak! I'm really excited to see how you like the Hansons plan after your marathon. So much of their philosophy makes sense, and it sounds like you're handling the training great.
az2 - Thanks! It was a great race and such fun, not to mention being in warmth and sunshine for 4 days.
Lurch - Big congrats on the weight loss! It sounds like what you're doing is working for you - keep up the good work.
miele - Good luck in the 10K. It's been a long time since I've raced that distance, but I still remember how much it hurts! Are you going to follow any specific plan for your half in April?
me - We got a total of 3 outdoor runs in while we were in Phoenix, which is good because I had to hit the TM again yesterday morning. Wind gusts up to 60 mph - no thanks. Planning on 5 in the morning and 10 on Saturday - OUTSIDE! My hamstring is still a bit sore, so this morning I tortured myself on the spin bike, then made it better with yoga. Talk about yin/yang! Right now I'm loving the half distance, so I've tentatively decided not to do a full this year and just focus on the halves. I'd like to keep inching my time down closer to 1:50. We'll see...
PR's: 5k - 23:33/ 10k - 48:30/ 5 mi. - 39:21/ 13.1 - 1:53/ 26.2 recent - 4:34
Upcoming races: Resolution Run HM 1/1/13
Phoenix R&R HM 1/20/13
Jan- Congrats on a great race! I'm glad that the weather wasn't a factor after all of those TM miles!
me- My leg is feeling great since I got my new shoes. I have my first LR since my leg started acting up tomorrow. I'm "just" aiming for 10, so if I can run that one well and still feel good for my easy run the following day, I'll be happy. I've run 10 before, but I don't really "own" the distance yet. After tomorrow I'm hoping I'll feel differently.
If you ask
Zelanie - good luck with your long run. I sure hope the shoes have solved the aches.
Jan - oh, how I miss the dancing banana! Awesome half! So sorry you are back on the treadmill. Do you do yoga with a class? I'm trying to decide what to do for a core type workout one day a week. But it will be an on-demand or DVD workout. I don't like gyms. Hope the hamstring feels better.
Anm - sign up for that race! You're so close to 2 hours!,
Paden - nice running streak! And impressive speeds! I do love the trails and I'm thankful for the few places that I can run off the roads.
Hector - The ankle is not hurting at all, thanks for asking. How do you like running on the treadmill?
Miele - what 10k are you running? God speed!
Two foot - good luck running your half this weekend.
Me - my ankle was swollen from Sunday but never really hurt. I met my brother for some trail running on Weds. We managed 5 miles in the dark. Then I met my friend for a 6 mile run (half on the trail we ran to). We were chatting so much it ended up being 9 miles. It was cold and dark and just awesome! My training plan has me running 8 tomorrow but I doubt that I will run less than 10. I love LSR day!
Happy Running and good luck to those racing!
Jan- 60 Mph winds is when I go and hug the TM! It looks like we have the same goal in terms of our HM time. I'd like to break 1:50. I'd also like to run my age in the 10k (Nathan put that into my head). It'll be something to work towards. I'm thinking of doing something similar to pcaharrier and doing a Hansons-esque type plan for the HM. But nathan has a good point about the tempo run and the MP (or HMP runs) so I still need to sit down and really take a good look at what I want to do. Or I might try Ryan Hall's plan. Either way it'll be a 12 week plan and not an 18 week plan. I don't know why but just thinking about an 18 week plan makes me tired. (that and, had I wanted an 18 week plan, I should have started 5 weeks ago.)
Zelanie- Glad the leg is feeling better! How did the 10 miler go? I'm sure you did well.
Edith- Well that's never happened to me.....a 6 miler turning into a 9 miler. I wish it would. I ran the Destin Bayou and Back in Florida. It was fun...mini RR to follow.
2ft- If I remember correctly, you have a HM tomorrow. Good luck!
me- The forecast for the race changed and was a bit warmer than was predicted a few days ago. 61 at the start with 83% humidity. Not the end of the world. It's only 10k, right? Gun start so there I am at the front again. Turns out the lady next to me was the winner of the race and I got a little caught up in her pace (the dangers of starting on the line). I checked the watch about a quarter mile in and say 6:51 pace. What?!? No wonder I'm out of breath. So I slow down but still run a too fast first mile at 7:43.
Mile 2 was better at 7:52. My plan had been to try and maintain 8s for as long as I could since I knew I wasn't in PR form. I was right about that. Mile 3: 8:04. Suddenly my legs didn't want to function. This happened at precisely mile 3.36. It was all over. Mile 4: 8:16, Mile 5: 8:18, Mile 6, 8:27. The last bit I managed a 7:48 pace. Horribly paced as usual but I figured out part of my pacing problem. Sure I go out too fast the first mile but then again, it feels fine. Not like I'm sprinting or anything like that. Then hope enters my head. My rational side knows I can't maintain that pace but hope says maybe I can. So I try to keep the faster pace. Damn hope.
Positive splits. Yuck. But. It was a great day. DH and BIL did great. My parents were at the finish line and also a friend came to cheer us on. The weather was really beautiful for the post-race. DH and BIL got their beers. They had a bunch of food I couldn't eat (it's just unappealing right after a race).
Oh, finish time was 50:44. Over two minutes slower than my PR but I'll work on that. I somehow managed a 1st in age group with that time. The lady at the start ran a 42x and said it was her worst race ever. I don't know how much the lemon drop martini, red wine, burger and fries, pizza and escargot the night before affected my time but it probably didn't help. (weird combination, I know, but it was happy hour and we were ordering everything).
One more week of slacking off then it's back to training.
Edith- Sounds like you've been getting some good runs in lately!
miele- Sorry that your race didn't go as planned, but it sounds like you learned something and had a good day out with the family. I'd take a 50:44 10K and a 61 degree day over here any time!
me- My 10 mile run on Friday went great. I just had to make myself slow down for the first few miles, then held steady, then picked it up for the last 2, for an average pace of 9:49. Then yesterday I got my 5 miles easy no problem. In fact I probably ran them too fast at 9:34 average.
Today is a RD and then I will start the next week! I will add back the tempo intervals that I missed a couple off weeks ago, take my LR up to 11, and hopefully add 2 miles to last week's total. 6 more weeks of build before I get a nice long taper!
Miele: so you want to run your age in a 10k. Wouldn't that be world record pace?
Jan: I also really like the HM distance, along with 10k. 5K is too short, and marathon, that's fine once or twice a year. After you have done a marathon, the Half becomes a lot easier mentally, also.
Me: preparation for Manhattan Half not ideal, with just 2 x 8 mile TM runs all week. In addition, transport issues meant that I arrived 10-15 minutes late (bonjour LE stresse) and just managed to pass the start line before they pulled it up. No warm-up or stretching. I haven't downloaded my Garmin yet, but to kill all suspense, time was 1:55:06. Quite happy considering the week that that's preceded, the temperature and late arrival. oh, and I forgot the hilly profile from my list of excuses. Also happy that the splits were pretty constant, all between 8:45 and 8:50. All in all, a good workout. Objective for HM will be to beat my PR end of March.
Next week the serious stuff begins with Pfitz: 50 miles on the program, which will be a record for me if I make it.
Good running to all!
Personal bests (bold = this year): 5K - 23:27 / 5M - 38:42 / 10K - 49:31 (track) / 10M - 1:24:26 / HM - 1:51:17 / M - 3:58:58
Next races: NYC Marathon, Nov 2014
Jan - great job on your AZ half! What a strong finish! Someday, I have to get there and run that race.
miele - you might when for most unusual night-before-fueling. Who eats escargot before a race?
2foot - good job on your half! I've had that happen to me twice where I arrived after the official start and it does really stress one out!
Waving to everyone else - I'm so far behind, I decided I better just post and try to stay caught up from that point on.
me - last week was a recovery week, with just a 12 mile long run. I've been running a fair amount outside, including last Thursday when it was 8F, with a windchill of -3. In contrast, it was 60F out at 5 am this morning! Crazy midwestern weather. This week is a lot more miles. I had a dentist appt with some fillings tomorrow - do you think it's unreasonable to try to run a 10-miler with 5 at tempo pace after that?
docjen - Those are some crazy temperature swings! Nice job for getting out there in the cold. I think you'll be ok to do your run after your dentist appt, as long as you're not in pain and don't have too much nitrous oxide. I once ran a 5k the day after having a root canal, and I did fine. How's the new position at work going?
miele - I love that pre-race meal! I tend to go out too fast also in shorter races, which makes the end a real pain party. Congrats on placing 1st in your AG - some bling is always nice! Congrats to your hubby and BIL too - it sounds like the whole family had a great day. Where did you find the Ryan Hall half plan? I know it was in an issue of RW, but isn't it online somewhere too?
Edith - I'm glad your ankle didn't hold you back. You've been getting some nice mileage in! I love the name of your Feb race - Chilly Cheeks!
Zelanie - Great job on the 10 miler, followed by a 5 miler. Your long runs are really progressing nicely.
2ft - Congrats on the half! You definitely had some stress at the start. 1:55 is a great time, especially considering you said you had some training issues and probably a near heart attack trying to get to the start line in time. Good luck this week as you start Pfitz.
me - Three outdoor runs in a row - Sat. Sun. and this morning! Our weather is turning to crap tonight, so thought I'd better take advantage of it while I can. I think I might have the flu, because I feel horrible. Might have to go in, get a sub, and come home. Yesterday I ordered a pair of Altra Provisioness shoes. They're zero drop, but with a stability wedge. I'm getting tired of all the little aches and pains that keep popping up, and of trying a zillion different shoes hoping that they'll be the miracle cure. I've been doing a lot of research on the Altras, and I think they're worth a try. Have a great Monday, everyone!
30K race done! I decided to follow the 330 marathon pacers and they got me to get through the half in slightly under 1:45! Now I have to set my sight on my first official HM in 1:40!
Full log is here
Jan26.2 – yeah, I am little nervous and excited. How many halves are you planning for this year? Great job in getting three outdoor works
EdithRevisited – glad to know that your ankles are fine. I prefer to run on trails, but don't find TM horrible as well. Good thing about TM is that it is a controlled environment where I can adjust speed and elevation a lot better than outdoor running.
Miele – it must be excited to run with a couple of family members in the race with some family member cheering for you! Congratulations on getting 1st in the age group!
Zelanie – great job running 10 milers and another 5 miles next day
Two-Foot-Shuffle – congratulations in finishing your half in well under 2 hours!
Me- ran for 6.8 miles this morning.My first half marathon is in March and am little nervous. I got a heart rate/pacing question. Once a week I do long run in the range of 70-80% HRR. Four days a week I run @ 75% HRR. Once a week I do hard run in the range of 80-85% HRR. Length of these hard runs is 50 minutes. I am concerned if I would able to keep my heart rate in 80-85% range for entire race or not since I never tried running in this zone for more than 50 minutes. What would you advice to a rookie?
Reports on long runs
Twofoot- Congrats on the half! Glad you got there (just) in time!
Jen- Hope the post-dentist run went well!
Jan- Hope you didn't end up getting sick! Are you a teacher? I teach reading.
Wing- Fantastic job on your race and a nice strong finish! Way to go! That 1:40 is going to be yours!
Hector- I don't know a thing about HR training being a newbie myself. But one thing I've heard is that the taper plus race day magic works wonders for that kind of thing.
me- Had another great run tonight! This time it was 2x2 miles @LT, which I ran at 8:49 pace on the TM. I bumped that up to 8:34 for the last half mile because I was still feeling great. 0.4 recovery between my intervals @10:20, but honestly felt like I didn't need quite that much. Probably a good thing because I think this is the last LT workout that Pfitz gives us a recovery for. 7.5 total miles with warm up and cool down.
Zelanie- Great running! And I think you've conquered the 10 mile mental wall. Just remember, anytime you feel a little twinge or an ache go and get new shoes ASAP.
2ft- Congrats on a great HM!! Next time do us all a favor and arrive at least an hour early. How stressful! And yeah, running my age would be a super-crazy world record for me but it gives me a goal. In all probability it's impossible but I'll give it a go. Speaking of goals, I think you, Jan and I should break 1:50 in our upcoming HMs. Our PRs are similar and I don't think it's totally insane. I think docjen's PR is very close to 1:50 but I can't really remember.
docjen- Hi! What's your HM PR? I don't know about the 10 miler after fillings. Just see how you feel. If they give you gas (do they still do that?) then I would advise against it. I'd say enjoy the 60 degree weather while you can! Oh, and apparently I eat escargot before a race. No adverse effects but I think I'll make wiser choices next time. (I think I've said that before)
Jan- I found two different Ryan Hall plans. One was on RWOL but I think they've done away with it or you have to pay for it now. The other one I found through google. http://www.innovationforendurance.com/assets/Ryan_Hall_Half_Marathon_Plan.pdf Maybe that link will work. If it doesn't I'll try again. Yay for new shoes!!!! I hope they're 'The Ones'. Boo for the flu!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed that it's not the flu. Did you get a flu shot? Are you signed up for any more races?
Wing- Way to go! What a great race! But now I'm thinking your new stinking fast HM PR is soft since you were able to hold that pace for the entire race. And in that humidity, too! Where was this race? Sorry if you mentioned the location but I don't remember. sub- 1:40 for sure!
hector- I wish I could help you with the HR problem but hopefully nathan will chime in. All I can say is that on race day you will be well rested and ready to run.
me- Speaking of new shoes.....I went a little crazy the past few weeks. I kept finding really good deals on running shoes. Deals I couldn't pass up. So, long story short, I have two new pairs of Asic Blurs and a new pair of Brooks Pure Flow. I've never tried the PureFlows but was always curious. I'm refusing to look at any more running shoes since I obviously have a problem. Ran 5 easy and did a leg workout at the gym.
miele - Thanks for the link - it worked! Way to go on your shoe bargains. When you find a good deal, of course you have to take advantage of it. I've heard good things about the Pure Flows - I'll be interested to see how you like them.
Zelanie - You're on a streak of great runs!! Nice running. I teach 2nd grade, and honestly, can't stand it. I'd love to teach reading - do you teach one grade or several? Some of our schools have reading specialists, but I'd have to rack up more student loan debt to get my certification. Maybe someday, if the lottery doesn't work out.
hector - I'm no help with heart rate stuff either - I don't even own a monitor. My best advice for your first half is to determine your pace by how your body feels. Start conservatively and keep asking yourself, can I maintain this, can I go faster and still maintain? Right now I've got about 7 halves planned for the year, one 10 mile race, and maybe a full. Big maybe on the full, since right now I'm leaning toward getting faster at the half instead of slogging through another round of full training.
wing - Nice race! My feeling is that you've got a 1:40 in the bag.
docjen - Did you run after the dentist appt? I started thinking that running after a dose of laughing gas just might be fun.
2ft - Day 3 of Pfitz - how's it going so far?
me - After my 5 mile run outside on Monday morning, I came home and immediately got the flu. Went to work, did sub plans (and spread the germ love I'm sure), came home and slept the rest of the day and night. Never got the stomach part, but had the fever and achiness. Yesterday I went to work but just didn't have the energy to workout, so this morning I'm headed to the TM for 4 miles. Hopefully I'm more into it once I get going than I am right now. We got some icy snow-drizzle last night, so the streets are frozen again. But, it's looking up for the end of the week and weekend.
Jan - ugh on the flu. I hope the new shoes are your "miracle." I feel pretty lucky in the feet/legs dept. I've been running in the same shoe model for quite a while without a problem.
Zelanie - excellent LT workout, especially the stronger than anticipated finish.
Wing - Congrats on a great race!
hectortrojan - I also have never used heartrate training. I agree with Zelanie, though, that the race day magic after a taper lets you perform at levels you hadn't in training.
miele - half PR is 1:50:37, from Sept 2012. I think breaking 1:50 is a great goal. I won't get the chance to race a half before the April full, I don't think. There just aren't any local races that fit in, and I don't have time to travel this spring.
me - so I ended up canceling the dentist appt. The big issue with this new job is the meetings. Every time I turn around, there's another one. My boss decided Monday that I should attend an evening meeting about a new blood glucose monitoring system and it looked like there was no way I could fit the dentist in too. So yesterday I had faculty meeting from 7-9 am, a meeting with the administrative team of my clinic from 9:15 to 10:45, a weird perinatology lunch/inquest from 12-2:15, and a dinner meeting from 5:30-9 that was largely a sales pitch (and was 1/2 hour away from my work.) Normally, Tuesday afternoons are my afternoon off and I usually do a longer and harder workout on those days. I brought my running gear to work instead, and changed after finishing at 2:15 and headed out. Even this part was complicated, because the neighborhood right around my hospital is not really safe for a woman to run alone, but the hospital has the showers. So I changed at the hospital and left my stuff in the locker room, drove to my clinic building and ran from there, then drove back to the hospital to shower and change back.
Continuing the chaos for the day, my Garmin quit about 1 1/2 miles in to my run. I think the contacts weren't fully in contact with the charger and it never charged after my last run. So I turned mapmyrun on on my phone. I was supposed to run 10, with 5 at LT pace, but I had to guess at both the distance and the pace. My route afterword was recorded pretty zig-zaggy, so I didn't think I'd actually run 10. Gmap pedometer maps out my route at 9.4, so that's what I'm calling it. Total time about 1:27. It was 43F and very overcast having rained most of the day, so I got to splash through a bunch of puddles. It started raining again with 2 miles to go. Despite all that, the run itself felt great and I must admit to grinning like an idiot in the rain!
Super B****
Poking my head back in here -- even though I am kind of paranoid about it! (What can I say? I'm superstitious about weird things.)
About the HR training, I don't train by HR but I do wear a monitor just because I'm a data junkie... and I've come to realize that if I DID train by HR, I'd be a lot slower. According to what my monitor recorded during some runs, I should have keeled over and died. Never happened yet.
I had an epiphany of sorts this weekend -- I went out for a run (out, as in, not on the AlterG) and my first mile was the slowest mile I've run in a really long time. That was pretty discouraging, because I'm never going to be able to run a sub-2:00 half that way. I should know by now that I tend to speed up as I go, and that's why I worry about going out too fast in a longer race! My overall pace for that run ended up being fast enough for a sub-2:00 (had I run 13.1), despite my tortoise-like first couple of miles.

Support for Faculty
UCSF's highest faculty honor, Distinguished Professorships enable the University to make a permanent, substantial commitment to a researcher or clinician and his or her area of intellectual interest. Reserved for leaders in their fields, distinguished professorships signify UCSF's belief in a faculty member's past contributions and future promise. These endowments are often used to create new positions and attract world-renowned scientists to UCSF. Endowment earnings pay for salary, benefits, research and administrative assistants, equipment, publications and other expenses related to the faculty member's work.
Endowed Chairs honor their holders by recognizing past achievements and future potential. Although sometimes used to attract new faculty, an endowed chair usually supports a current position. Because it is honorary and permanent, this type of endowment plays a vital role in sustaining a first-rate faculty – supporting the costs of research assistants, equipment, publications, professional travel and, in some cases, supplementing faculty members' salary and benefits. Further gifts to endowed chairs can increase these endowments to the level of distinguished professorships, which provide even greater honor and support.

Penthouse Pet Ryan Keely gives tips on how to do it like a pro.
-Shari Goldhagen
Adult entertainer Ryan Keely is doing us all a big favor. In her "Porn Star Sex Life" workshops, the Penthouse pet has been teaching guys the dos and, just as important, the don'ts of keeping women satisfied in the bedroom.
But sex is a two-person game, so when BettyConfidential caught up with Ryan, we asked her what five things we should give a go.
1. Revisit an old fave
"Bring back the hand job!" says Ryan. "There's nothing so amazing as really handling your partner's bits."
While a lot of women left the hand job behind with high school graduation, it's a fun way to spice up the bedroom menu.
"You don't always have time or energy for sex, and blow jobs are really taxing," she says. "This is a great way to give pleasure to your partner."
2. Learn from the master
What better way to understand what makes your man happy than to watch him pleasure himself?
"If you can get your partner to touch himself while you watch, you can really get a great insight into what he likes," she says. "Some people are a little shy, but it can be a very beautiful way to learn."
And of course that goes both ways. Your guy will most likely want to watch your solo show, as well.
3. Reach around
Ryan's new favorite trick is to rub a partner's penis while having sex.
"If I'm on my back in missionary position, I reach under my a*& between my legs and I like to rub the base of his penis—the area that runs from his sphincter to the back of his balls," she says. "As he's penetrating you, you're playing with the part of his penis not inside you. It feels great."
And busy women take note: "If you're in a hurry it's a great way to make him come faster."

Who makes those driving lights you have mounted there????
My 2007 Burgman Executive 650 c.c.
Nice Amigos!
Real cool!
Hudson Valley Road, looking east towards Bakersfield CA.
690 mile road trip on the Piaggio BV-350's this weekend. Temecula Ca, to Paso Robles, Ca and back. (Thats my wife on her green scooter)
TN to CA on 110 cc Honda Elite
Holy smokies man. You got the kitchen sink strapped somewhere on that 110?
Hope your ride has gone smoothly! That is some serious ADV mileage.
Is there a ride report?
Definite ADV rider!
Yea, I would love to hear the story behind this ride.:eek1
Alright. I was on the fence about writing it, but now that I know you guys want it, I'll write it up. Good use for the 1000+ photos I took. Coming in a few days in rides report section.
Can't wait.
What are you.. new here?! :huh
Sheesh.. kids these days..
Well, after way too long I am going to post a couple of pictures of my most recent two scooters. The first picture is of my '01 Helix, a bike I recently sold and I regret selling it. It was a great scooter and delivered for me as I rode it throughout the American Southeast. I picked it up in '05 and kept it until I was enticed away by my new scooter, a 2009 Burgman 650 Executive that I bought with only 2000 miles on it two months ago:
And that is the second picture. As you can see, I have already started farkling it and have taken it on one road trip to do the north part of the Natchez Trace. Cut me some slack on this bike, I have only owned it two months. And now my Burgman:
move over I wanna see the beautiful Transalp in the back. :)
You say you regret selling the Helix, why? The Burgman not what you thought it would be?
Nice Doug , now you have the best travlin scoot there is .
Not at all. It is just that the Helix was really handy for around town. The Burgman with the added weight is not so much so although I expect that I will get used to it. Out of the City, the Burgman wins hands down.

An Otley business will support a local horse, pony and donkey trust's fashion show this month.
Women's clothing store Harriet's is providing the outfits for the Hope Pastures Horse and Donkey Sanctuary event, which takes place at Weetwood Hall from 7.30pm on Friday, March 28.
A fashion evening held last September was also supported by Harriet's and raised more than £1,500 for the charity.
This year's event has a James Bond theme and will showcase new spring and summer fashions, hairstyles – Dmand of Adel will be styling – along with make-up.
Former Emmerdale actress Claire King will also be supporting the night again by drawing the prize raffle.
Fundraiser for the sanctuary, Lorraine Esteban, said: "We ran a very successful autumn/winter fashion show last September and we're running the spring/summer show in response to the feedback from that.
"Although none of the ponies will be modelling this time, we have James Bond-related interest for the evening, which I'm sure the girls and ladies attending will appreciate."
Guests will receive a welcoming drink and have a chance to buy any of the featured outfits.
Entry is by ticket only. To book a place or find out more, go to www.hope pastures.org or call Lorraine on (0113) 261 4344.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 25/6/2013 (1519 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Here's my first confession. I'm not big on kitchen gadgets. I have a few standbys -- my stalwart silver Kitchen-Aid mixer, my elderly Braun coffee grinder.
But our compact galley kitchen doesn't have much room for space-hogging unitasker appliances. I also have a slightly puritanical commitment to the idea that most cooking requires only a sharp knife and a good saut© pan.
Despite these constraints, I still splashed out on an ice cream maker a few summers ago. Some frozen desserts can be made without this handy small appliance -- as long as you have a freezer, you can pull off a gorgeous pistachio semifreddo or coffee granita -- but others demand special equipment.
It started with my obsession with green tea ice cream. I was determined to make it at home, so I bought an ice cream maker, a basic model that chills and churns using a pre-frozen bowl.
And, yes, my first batch of green tea ice cream was pretty swell -- creamy, cool and a sophisticated designer shade of green. It was also fairly finicky to make. The recipe called for a base of egg yolks, milk and heavy cream. Often called French-style, this method involves making a temperamental custard, straining the mixture through a sieve, and cooling it in an ice bath.
After an initial burst of activity, my ambitious ice cream-making dreams dwindled.
So, argh. Here's my second confession. My ice cream maker was taking up prime kitchen real estate and producing almost nothing.
It might have ended as another lesson in the pitfalls of impulse-purchasing. Then I hit on a recipe for lemon buttermilk sherbet in an old Bon Appetit magazine. It required only four ingredients, a quick stir, a stint in the fridge, and then the ice cream maker could do its stuff.
This recipe was much easier and quicker than French-style ice cream and, as a bonus, was quite a bit healthier. (Buttermilk, despite its name, is only one per cent milk fat.) And it was delicious.
Since then, I generally look past the custard-based ice creams, heavy with whipping cream, to sorbets (usually made with fruit), sherbets (often made with fruit and a bit of dairy) and gelati (which use more milk and less cream).
Another family favourite is a spiced sorbet made with orange juice, honey and spices. This recipe originally came from Bon Appetit but has been picked up, with minor variations, by a lot of food bloggers. You can see why: The cool citrus base plays beautifully with a hit of heat from ginger, cloves and cinnamon.
Gelati, made with milk, has a softer, denser texture than ice cream and a lower butterfat percentage. Some Italian gelati use an egg base, but Sicilian-style usually relies on just a smidge of cornstarch as a stabilizer, making it easy to whip up. Fans of the Sicilian style will tell you that this simplicity makes for intense flavours. (I tried out a deep, dark chocolate this week.)
One note: You can't quite replicate Italian gelato at home. And it's not just because you're not standing near the Pantheon in Rome when you're eating it. Gelateria-style treats are churned at a slower speed and made and stored at slightly warmer temperatures than conventional ice creams. Some gelati fans try to achieve that gorgeous consistency by serving the mixture right out of the machine after it has been churned, rather than freezing it.
Keep in mind: Homemade sorbets, sherbets and gelati will be meltier than commercial versions. These recipes don't make big batches -- most ice cream makers handle only a litre at a time. And they don't have the long freezer life of commercial brands. You'll need to consume them within a day or two of making.
Still, with these fresh tastes, that shouldn't be hard.
Spiced Honey-Orange Sorbet
750 ml (3 cups) water
250 ml (1 cup) granulated sugar
125 ml (1/2 cup) clover honey
30 ml (2 tbsp) finely grated orange peel
15 ml (1 tbsp) chopped peeled fresh ginger
2 whole cloves
1 cinnamon stick, about 5 cm (2 in) long
1 small bay leaf
500 ml (2 cups) chilled fresh orange juice
45 ml (3 tbsp) fresh lemon juice
In a large heavy pot, combine water, sugar, honey, orange peel, ginger, cloves, cinnamon and bay leaf. Bring to boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil until syrup is thick and mixture is reduced to 500 ml (2 cups), about 10-15 minutes. Discard bay leaf. Cool syrup completely.
Strain syrup into medium bowl. Add chilled orange juice and lemon juice. Process mixture in ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer sorbet to container with lid, cover and freeze until set, about 3 hours. Serve within 3 days. Let soften slightly before serving.
Tester's notes: The mix of chilly citrus and spice really makes this dessert. Be sure the mixture is completely chilled before it goes into the ice cream maker. Clover honey will add a layer to the flavour, but regular honey will do just fine.

Lemon Buttermilk Sherbet
500 ml (2 cups) granulated sugar
125 ml (1/2 cup) fresh lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
30 ml (2 tbsp) finely grated lemon peel
900 ml (4 cups) buttermilk
Stir sugar, lemon juice and peel in medium bowl. Add buttermilk; stir until sugar dissolves. Chill until very cold, about 4 hours. Process mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to container with lid and freeze until set, about 3 hours. Serve within 3 days. Let soften slightly before serving.
Tester's notes: I love the fresh, tart flavours of lemon and the tang of the buttermilk. While this sherbet doesn't have a ton of butterfat, it does have a lot of sugar. You might be tempted to cut back the amount, but changing the ratio of sugar will change the freezing point and affect the texture.

Sicilian-Style Chocolate Gelato
750 ml (3 cups) whole milk, divided
175 ml (3/4 cup) granulated sugar
30 ml (2 tbsp) cornstarch
175 ml (3/4 cup) cocoa
Pinch salt
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, bring 500 ml (2 cups) of the milk to a simmer, then remove from heat. In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar, cornstarch, cocoa and salt and add remaining 250 ml (1 cup) milk, stirring until smooth. Add cocoa mixture to hot milk, and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture bubbles slightly at edges, then cook 1 minute more. Mixture should be dark, glossy and slightly thickened. Set aside to cool, then cover with plastic wrap, pressing wrap directly onto surface of mixture, and refrigerate overnight. Process mixture in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's directions, then transfer to container with lid and freeze until set, about 3 hours. Serve within 3 days. Let soften slightly before serving.
Tester's notes: This gelato had a dense creaminess and an intensely chocolate taste. My cooked chocolate mixture was smooth, but if any lumps make it past your assiduous stirring, you might want to strain the mix through a fine-mesh sieve.
