I thought it might be a great idea to start a thread just for race reports so that they don't end up lost in the monthly threads.
So with that being said, I hope Teresa's will be the first one here.
"Today I broke my record for most consecutive days lived!"
One day at a time
Former runner
Here's a link to my race report from a half I ran last week.
Oh, great, way to pressure me!
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pressure you. However, didn't matter, you've been beat to the punch.
Good luck and go get them....
Okay Teresa, hate to beat you to the punch, but here is my 5K race report
Weather was overcast, but 70s and although a little humid, the temperature made it fantastic racing weather.
I felt nervous, but otherwise ready to go.
Race time was 11AM, got there around 10 and the wife registered me while I did my warm-ups etc.
Participation was down this year, not sure if it was the weather forecast of rain or that it's a week before the Hartford Marathon. I won't know the final count until it's posted.
First mile, was all flat and I was off to a 6:40 start. I thought this was a little fast.
About a qtr mile into mile 2, you make a sharp left and begin a pretty long upgrade, but not very steep. I was running with a pack of 3-4 other guys at that point and took the lead just before the corner and kept cranking it. Left the 4 of them very quickly and from this point in the race, no body passed me.
Mile 2 time was 6:56 so I know in my head, that I've got a great race going and hoping to hold on to break my 21:26 PR.
Just after mile 2, I reached the last little hill, pushed it up and down the back side and then had to slow to make a really sharp downhill left hand turn (about 145 degrees) and with the wet pavement, backed my pace of for a second and then using the remaining hill, opened up my stride and prayed I could run the last mile or so without dying.
About the end of mile 3 (no marker) you turn into the parking lot for the last .1. As I'm getting near the finish line, I look up to see 20:37 on the clock and my son screaming at me that I've got a chance to break 21 minutes. I took a deep breathe and gave it everything I had and crossed the finish line in 20:53 (not official unitl I see it posted). My last 1.1 mile was around a 7:11 (6:32 pace)
My goal was to beat 21:26, but told my wife that I could have a shot at 21:00 and I did. Not only that, but I also finished 3rd place in my age group and won my first every medal which I'm really proud of.
I tired to post a new picture on my profile, but my dial up service kept choking on the size, so I'll try it from work tomorrow.
So ladies and gentlemen, and friends, I have set PRs on back to back weekends. Last week was a 1:40:08 HM (2:52 off my PR) and now 30 something seconds off my 5K time.
Been a great time and to have my youngest son (25) there to cheer me on was special because he's the real runner in the family who inspired me to run.
PS - Offical time has been posted as 20:51
Well done IPH, a nice steady Winter of training and who knows what you can reduce the times to next year.
Old age is when you move from illegal to prescribed drugs.
Well done IPH, a nice steady Winter of training and who knows what you can reduce the times to next year.
Well like my son said to me yesterday, now the key is to put together a season of being injury free and if I figure out how to do that, let him know and we'll write a book together.
OK, here's my race report, such as it is!
I nervously tracked the weather the last few days of the race. The forecast varied, with showers supposedly ending an hour before race time. When I woke up Sunday morning, though, the rain in NH was stopping around 6 am. Whoo hoo!
I drove down to Portland (yes, down, lol) to pick up my running partner, Martha, who had volunteered for the race. She wasn't up to running it since her training was limited this year due to a hip injury. On the way through Portland, we saw that traffic for the Maine HM and Marathon was backed up onto the highway, just 25 minutes before the start time of the races (7:45). I was glad we weren't in the middle of the mess!
We got down to Hampton around 8:30 as planned. Martha found THE closest parking place to the registration area. We wandered over and quickly found John A. from RA. We discovered that we're both from Texas! I was wearing my black short-sleeved tech top with a UT Longhorn symbol, along with a Texas necklace and burnt orange shorts. Registration was well-organized, so it didn't take long to get my bib, D-Chip (disposable timing chip), and long-sleeved, light blue tech shirt (really nice!). John said he didn't sign up for the shirt, because he has so many, already.
It was still an hour before the race, so Martha and I just took a long walk next to the ocean. The sun kept teasing us - sometimes totally obscured by clouds, sometimes shining through weakly. I couldn't decide whether to wear sunglasses!
We ran a little bit, and then stood in a very long line for the public bathrooms. The facilities were large enough that we got through pretty quickly. Then we followed the crowds towards the start line. I was looking for the 11-minute pacer, because I thought it would be fun to start with them. But all the pacers were just in the middle of the crowd, so I couldn't find him/her. I also couldn't figure out where the actual start line was. The telephone pole with the huge START sign on it obviously WASN'T, because many runners were way in front of it!
When the gun went off, I started at a steady pace. Never did figure out where the official start line was, so I just hit my Garmin after 15 seconds or so. The crowd moved me right along, and I felt good. My frist mile went by in 10:29, way too fast! But it was so weird - it didn't FEEL fast at all.
I managed to stick to my 1 mile run / 1 minute walk routine for about 2 1/2 miles, lol. The first water station was at that point, so I walked while I drank. For the next few miles, I ran 1/2 mile and walked a minute. After turning away from the oceanside sidwalk, we headed through a nice neighborhood. There were a few people out cheering, but not too many. There were a couple of more aid stations, and then around 7.5 miles, some neighborhood girls had a table with ice water on it! I hadn't intended to stop again, but I couldn't resist since they were so nice. The neighborhoods got nicer and nicer, until we were going by mansions with tennis courts!
I played leapfrog with the same group of about 10 people most of the way. We didn't talk much, but at one point a woman announced we were at the halfway point. Ack! I was getting tired. An older man (70 or so) shuffled by me. I didn't know it was possible to shuffle that quickly!
When we reached the ocean, a little past mile 8, we were directed onto a NARROW strip of asphalt. It was kind of a pain, because in my running segments I would normally have passed the slower runners, but I couldn't. About this point, I was tired enough that I started going 1+ minute run / 1 minute walk. I kept up that ratio for the duration of the race. A few people passed me during this stretch along the ocean, but I think I passed even more runners. It was great to see the finish line far off in the distance! I ran more than a minute at the end. I passed the 13-mile marker, and the last 0.1 mile seemed to last forever! As I approached the finish line, I could hear Martha cheering for me, and telling me to smile for the camera. She handed me my finisher's medal when I stopped. That was nice! My time was 2:35, about 5 minutes slower than I'd hoped for, but that's OK. My training got a little derailed in August due to a busy schedule and out-of-state visitors (hmm, we always get a lot of those in Maine during the summer for some reason).
I talked to John A. for a minute, then needed to sit down because I was feeling faint. I didn't see any benches, and didn't think I could make it all the way to the ground. So I went over to the medical tent and rested on a cot for a minute. I think they appreciated having a "patient," because everyone seemed to finish the race pretty strongly. Martha said she was surprised at how well everyone did.
In a little while, after Martha was done handing out medals, I changed clothes and we headed over to the beer tent. We had waited too long, because all the beer was gone!! We got pieces from the very last pizza, and some hot soup. They also had Klondike bars.
Martha and I had a good lunch at Stonewall Kitchen in York, and I got home around 3:45, in time to take DD to her piano lesson at 4:30. To celebrate, DH and I went to see "The Informant," a very entertaining movie. We ended the evening by going to Denny's! We're big spenders.
I really enjoyed this race, and would like to run it again. I have to figure out a way to run more miles. I have the time, it's just motivation I seem to lack. Increasing from a consistent 4 days a week to 5 would help a lot, I think.
Hands on House - 1/2 - my 1st
First off, thanks again for all the advice and encouragement.
Secondly, this "half marathon" was only 12.57 miles according to the Garmin.
I can't fault the race organizers since they were forced to make 2 last minute course
changes due to road construction which in one case missed a deadline and in the
2nd case started 4 days before the race without any prior warning.
The day of the race was extremely humid (95% humidity at start time) and ended up
being much warmer than expected (start ~63 end ~75). That being said (no excuse) I didn't properly hydrate
and ended up paying for it in the last few miles. My time goal for the race was to run ~8:23 pace to break 1:50:00.
My main goal was to enjoy the experience of my first half marathon. To this end I decided to run without headphones so I would be able to take in all that was happening around me, not to mention the beautiful
Lancaster County scenery. Also, I seem to be able to pace myself a little better without the music.
Mile 1,2 (8:19, 8:14) The start was rather disorganized, perhaps due in part to the last minute course changes
and was delayed about 15 minutes. But once we got started it felt great. Everyone and their mother was
passing me at this point but I forced myself, with help from the Garmin, to maintain pace. I
figured I'd catch some of them later on, and I actually caught more than I expected.
Mile 3,4 (8:19, 8:22) Another mistake was leaving 1 of 2 gel packs at the hotel. So instead of taking 1
before the race and another around mile 7 I took the one I had here. Still feeling pretty good and still
getting passed.
Mile 5,6 (8:48, 8:14) The Hill - There was an elevation gain of over 200' in about 1.25 miles.
Fortunately I had studied the course a couple months before the race and found the biggest hill
in my area (~150') and trained on it. For me this was a huge hill and I knew I would lose time on it.
I held things together pretty well and as planned, kept it under 9:00.
Incidentally, this is where a lot of people blew up and I began passing more people
than were passing me. What I somehow missed in planning for this race was how steep the downhill was at
the end of mile 6. I, along with those running near me, all let out a gasp or an "oh boy" as we hit a
curvy, extremely steep, wet section where it was all I could do to slow myself down enough not to
wipe out. Suddenly I'm using all my energy to slow down instead of to run fast (rather frustrating and
killing my quads).
Mile 7,8,9,10 (8:08, 8:21, 8:23, 8:13) Here's where I knew for sure there was something up with the
mile markers as Garmin had me at 6.47 miles at the 7 mile marker. Miles 7 and 8 were the only section of
the course with shade I was feeling pretty good. But in miles 9 and 10, back out in the sun, the rolling hills
started to take their toll.
Mile 11,12 (8:24, 8:36) Perhaps the worst 2 miles of my life. I was really in agony, my innards hurt.
Just, one little hill after another with a net gain of about 70'. Each hill was a mountain of pain.
But I knew from my splits that I just needed to hang on and I would beat my goal time.
Mile 13 (4:18 .57miles 7:34/m) The last half mile was downhill and with the finish line in site I was able to
kick a bit and catch a few more people. DW and the in-laws were there to cheer me across the line!
Chip Time: 1:44:41 (no starting mat)
Garmin Time: 1:44:35 (~1:48:59 for 13.1)
Overall: 150/606 Gender: 111/324
1) Hydrate better next time you big dope!
2) Not sure what pace I could have held for another .5, but I'm pretty sure I would have beaten my goal.
3) I could not have properly paced myself without the Garmin. Perhaps as I gain more experience I will be able
to rely more on "feel".
3) Within 2 hours of the race I caught myself talking and planning for "next time".
Great race reports. Could feel the pain and agony as well as those moments of joy which after all is what brings us all back.
So Teresa, is there anything you would do different the next time?
I wouldn't say it was very organized if you couldn't tell where the start line was and if it was the pole and they let people line up in front of it, that is the pits for those who really want to run a legitimate race.
Larry, for the most part, I think I'm just not built to run very fast. I was ALWAYS slow, even as a kid. But I think I CAN improve. I need to put more miles in. I also need to run up hills more often - I'm thinking once every week I'll do hill work. There's a great hill on the next street over that will work well. The other thing I will try is running more consecutive miles without walk breaks. At the race, I stopped way too often when I hadn't planned to.
Prince of Fatness
Thanks, MrPH! Oh, I thought of one more thing - it probably wasn't the wisest to go for two 8-mile runs the week before (not the week OF the race, but the previous one).
I went for a 3.3-mile recovery run this morning. Very slow, but it felt pretty good. My inside thigh muscles are a little sore, but that's it.
Congratulations to all three of you, and i really do enjoy getting all the details. Great races, well done!
I expect i will be contributing a report to the list after my race on the 18th.
PBs since age 60: 5k- 24:36, 10k - 47:17. Half Marathon- 1:42:41.
10 miles (unofficial) 1:16:44.

Someplace recently, (in the last month or so) I read an article about hill training, may even had been Runners World!
Anyway, one of the things it reccomended for Hill work, was to treat it as Interval Running. I don't remember the specifics, but it said something like pick a hill you want to practice on. Pick a time to run (say 60 seconds), not the time it'll take to run up the whole hill. Then run up the hill for the allotted time, mark the spot. then wak or jog down the hill, (I think it said rest for a minute or 2) then repeat. I'm sure it recommended a number of reps to perform, but I don't recall, but then again I would reccomend that the person does what they're comfortable with.
Eventually, you'll find yourself running further and further past your mark in the same time period.
I know I'm not a 100% of what the article said, but if you want, I'll go back through Runners World and see if that's where I got it from. I kind of stored the concept in my head to use for steep long hill training. I'm running pretty strong right now, but I kow that any real long steep hills would kill me.

DANNY Rose has turned his loan move to Bury from Barnsley into a permanent stay, the club has confirmed.
The 20-year-old Barnsley-born striker has put pen to paper on a three-year contract after initially signing on a three-month emergency loan on Friday.
Rose scored three goals in six appearances for Bury in a loan spell at the tail end of last season, and manager David Flitcroft has been chasing him ever since.
It was anticipated the Tykes fan could possibly be tempted into a season-long loan this time around, but the permanent deal is seen as a real statement of intent from the Shakers hierarchy.
Flitcroft said: "Hard work pays off – this has been a big chase for us and we are obviously delighted to finally get the deal done.
"The fans love him, the players love him and we have really worked hard on this one, especially the chairman (Stewart Day)."
Rose picked up where he left off last season at Hartlepool on Saturday, scoring just six minutes after coming off the bench to seal a 2-0 win for Bury.
"He's a fantastic kid to have around the place and we saw on Saturday just what it means to him," added Flitcroft.
"It's been difficult for Danny because he is Barnsley born and bred.
"It's been difficult for his family because he wanted so badly and desperately to do well for Barnsley.
"He has seen other players develop within their setup and he wanted it. He's had to finish one chapter at Barnsley to move on to another with Bury.
"Emotionally, he was upset about it, but if he carries on with performances like we saw on Saturday at Hartlepool then he is going to upset defenders at this level and the next.
"We saw what Danny Rose is about with the calmness of his finish. He's just a hungry goal scorer – and he's ours."
Rose is a product of the academy system at Barnsley, joining the Tykes as an eight-year-old before going on to score two goals in 17 appearances for his hometown club.
He had hoped to break into the first team following their relegation from the Championship last season, but the door was opened for a Bury approach once the Oakwell outfit signed Leroy Lita last week.
Glenn Thomas, Bury chief executive, added: "Danny has been a long-term target of the club since the end of last season.
"The chairman is focused to deliver the quality of player needed to secure promotion. He has worked all summer to secure our key targets and the chase to land Danny has been a tireless objective, which started in May at the chairmen's conference.
"Danny is the quality of player that can change a game, as Saturday proved and under the leadership of the gaffer he will be an amazing asset for this club.
"Despite media hype, this club is not breaking the bank or paying silly wages to secure new players, but with the chairman's commitment to the future of this club, we are now attracting the quality of player needed to deliver on the pitch.
"Danny is the latest addition to a top quality squad that want to play for Bury Football Club and deliver their best to the fans.
"The season looks bright and there will be ups and downs, that's the nature of the game, but with the fans behind them each week I am confident there will be celebrations ahead."
Rose will now go straight into the squad for Bury's trip to Luton tomorrow.

One of the benefits of the European Central Bank's new household finance and consumption survey is that it allows eurozone household data to be compared with that of the US, since the surveys use comparable methodologies.
The survey already caused something of a stir in Germany earlier this week because it appeared to show that the typical Cypriot household was better off than the typical German one. (In 2010, anyway, and subject to a lot of caveats and nuance, summarised in the story.)
Today's ECB monthly bulletin also picks over some of the data in the HFCS and highlights this ability to compare data with the US Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances. One interesting tidbit it points out is quite how much wealth distribution differs between the US and (the euro-wielding corner of) Europe. Read more

The Series with Villanova
The Quakers and the Wildcats have met 23 times overall, with Penn holding a 15-8 series lead. However, this has developed into a nice little rivalry, as the teams have met every year since 1998. Villanova holds an 8-7 lead in these 15 uninterrupted games and the teams have played eight one-goal games, one two-goal game, and three three-goal games during that span. Each of the last three meetings have been one-goal affairs, including last year's game that was won by Villanova on a near-midfield shot that found the back of the Penn cage with one second left.
About Villanova
The Wildcats (1-3) lost 14-11 to No. 5 Princeton on Tuesday night, continuing a hard-luck start to the season that also includes close losses to Lehigh and Drexel. Villanova's win came against Delaware. Jack Rice leads the 'Cats in scoring, with eight goals, while Nick Doherty has eight points (5g, 3a) and Jack Curran has also scored five times. Three other players have four goals each. In goal, Greg Stamatov has played all but two minutes this season; he has a 12.10 goals-against average and a .438 save percentage.
About Penn
*Penn has defeated two teams ranked in the USILA poll at the time of their game with the Quakers (No. 14 Duke, No. 17 Lehigh) and lost to another (No. 10 Denver).
*Penn had eight different goalscorers in the season opener against Duke, and seven last Saturday at Denver; in the Saint Joseph's and Lehigh games, six different players scored Penn's six goals.
*Eleven different players have scored Penn's 38 goals, and the Quakers have a nice balance of assisted goals (15) and unassisted goals (23); in other words, a lot of guys are finding a lot of different ways to score.
*Penn is averaging 9.50 goals per game so far this season; last year the Quakers averaged 7.85 goals per game, two years ago it was 8.20 per contest.
*Penn has outscored its opponents in the fourth quarter, 12-6, so far this season.
*Penn is outshooting its three opponents by an average of 39.8 to 31.2 so far this season.
*Penn has outshot its opponents 98-46 in the second half this season (49-19 in the third quarter, 47-27 in the fourth).
*When Penn and Duke played at Franklin Field in 2011, the final score was 7-3; on February 22, the teams combined for more goals before the first quarter was over (it ended with Penn up, 6-5).
*Penn scored 14 goals against the Blue Devils, its best offensive output since April 3, 2010 when the Quakerslost to Yale, 16-14.
*Senior Tim Schwalje was Penn's top returning leading scorer, and he is leading the team this season in goals (8), assists (7) and points (15). He has had hat tricks against Duke and Denver.
*Schwalje has a point in 16 straight games after scoring in every game last season.
*Senior Ryan Parietti only has five poitns this season (4g, 1a), but he joins Schwalje as the only Penn players to record a point in every game this season.
*Sophomore Isaac Bock scored once last season; he had four in the season opener against Duke, while also adding an assist, and then scored a goal Saturday at Denver and had an assist against Lehigh.
*In his collegiate debut, freshman Nick Doktor scored twice; in fact, in his first quarter as a collegian he scored twice. He has four points (3g, 1a) so far this season.
*Another freshman, Mark Leonhard, also scored in his first collegiate game; he had an assist last Saturday at Denver, then scored a goal Tuesday at Lehigh.
*After a stellar freshman campaign in 2011, Drew Belinsky broke his ankle prior to his sophomore season and never seemed to fully get over it. After four games this season, the junior has recorded four goals and two assists.
*Classmate Zack Losco had a hat trick Saturday at Denver and has scored a goal in every game so far this season as he has made the jump to the first midfield unit for this season.
*Sophomores Will Laco and Chris Hupfeldt saw no game action last year (Hupfeldt due to injury); Laco has scored in each of the last three games, while "Hup" had goals against Saint Joseph's and Denver.
*Senior defenseman Anthony Santomo scored against Duke, the team's only long-stick goal so far this season; it was the captain's first collegiate goal.
*Against Lehigh, Santomo was matched up against the Mountain Hawks' top scoring threat, David DiMaria; DiMaria had 29 points in Lehigh's first five games, but was held to an assist (in a man-up situation) in the game's final minute of Penn's 6-4 win on Tuesday.
*Santomo is joined as a captain by classmate Brendan Engelke, a goalie, and junior defenseman Maxx Meyer.
*Junior Danny Feeney has taken a majority of Penn's faceoffs this season (54 of 86); he has a .500 win percentage on the X.
*Sophomore Joe McCallion, who is running on the second midfield -- he scored a goal Tuesday at Lehigh -- has taken the other 32 faceoffs this season and has a .469 win percentage.
*In goal, junior Brian Feeney had 17 saves Tuesday night at Lehigh, a career high (previous high 14) while allowing just four goals; it was a nice comeback for the junior, who had just six saves while allowing 15 goals last Saturday at Denver.
*Feeney struggled in the first quarter of the first two games (4 saves, 7 goals allowed) but responded with a strong night the rest of the way (19 saves, 7 goals allowed).
*Feeney has been Penn's No. 1 almost his entire career, has an 8.52 goals-against average and a .582 save percentage.
Of Interest...
*Penn has five players who were UnderArmour All-America selections in high school: juniors Drew Belinsky and Brian Feeney, and freshmen Nick Doktor, Pat Berkery and Sam Rohr (who will miss this season due to injury).
*Sophomores Joe McCallion and Chris Hupfeldt were seniors on the Haverford School (Pa.) boys' lacrosse team that ended the 2011 season ranked as the No. 1 high school program in the country.
*Two other players who have not yet seen time this year, Berkery and freshman Rob Savage, were on the Garden City (N.Y.) team that was ranked No. 1 at the end of last year.
*If the Savage name looks familiar to Penn fans, your intuition is correct -- Rob is indeed the brother of Dan Savage, who graduated last year and played four years on the Quaker lacrosse team.
*Penn lacrosse continues to be a family affair for McCallion, whose sister, Kelly, is a senior and a member of the Quakers' Ivy League champion women's lacrosse team.
*If Saturday's game gets to overtime, beware Drew Belinsky; as a freshman, he scored the OT winner in two different games, against Yale and Harvard.
*Penn welcomed two former Quaker football players to the roster this season, seniors Dave Twamley and C.J. Mooney. Both players were starters on defense for the Ivy League champs this fall -- in fact, they won three rings during their tenure on the gridiron -- and Twamley was a second-team All-Ivy recipient. Twamley has seen regular game action in the midfield.

Mount Hotham prepares to fight as fire closes in
Staff at Mt Hotham village resort, downwind of threatening fires, prepare for the worst.
There were fears wild winds would fan the almost 70,000 hectare fire towards towns in the Heyfield and Mafra area.
But Department of Sustainability and Environment incident controller Dennis Matthews said the southwesterly wind had arrived early, and there was now "no immediate threat to the community."
"We have endured the wind changes, the fire hasn't run hard, it hit the edge hard in places but we have dealt with at."
Mr Matthews said police were investigating what they believed were two deliberately lit blazes to the south of the main bush fire.
"It's quite obvious that it was not started by the main fire."
But he said these were not a threat to the community.
He said crews would spend more than a week back burning in the hope of reducing any future fire threat.
The fire is currently 60,000 hectares, and it will be watched for a number of months.
The wind is believed to have reached up to 80 km/h although the containment lines remained largely intact.
• Fire crews have breathed a sigh of relief because a previously predicted severe weather warning for ferocious winds across the state's east failed to eventuate.
But thunderstorms are predicted at the weekend, adding another element of danger to the fire threat.
Something people need to do is emotionally prepare as well as physically prepare.
Fire crews are still battling blazes in Gippsland and in the state's north-east, where residents in the towns of Harrietville and Hotham Heights have been warned that a large fire could have an impact any time within the next 24 hours.
In Gippsland, winds were predicted to gust at up to 90km/h, but only got to 70km/h in elevated areas and 60km/h elsewhere, a spokeswoman for the state bushfire control centre said.
The worst of the conditions in the area have now passed, she said.
In Harrietville, an earlier predicted wind change is now not expected at all.
Some in Harrietville chose to evacuate on Thursday, but others have stayed to defend their homes.
The Country Fire Authority has warned residents that if they want to leave, they should do so before conditions change. The latest advice, issued just before 9.30am, will apply until 1.30pm.
Up to 20 millimetres of rain is predicted to fall at Harrietville at the weekend, but much less is expected in Gippsland.
The long-running Aberfeldy-Donnellys fire has now burnt almost 70,000 hectares and the towns of Heyfield and Maffra may come under threat, depending on wind direction and strength.
Police are investigating whether the fire, which began last Thursday, was deliberately lit.
In community meetings in Harrietville and Hotham Heights on Thursday, the CFA said the blaze was burning in steep, dense forest and could affect the towns on Friday morning. Those who were not prepared to defend their homes were told to leave by 6pm Thursday as part of the ''watch and act'' warning in place. The highest alert, ''emergency'', which means imminent danger, had not been activated.
Aerial support had saved communication towers and historic buildings in the Alpine National Park since the fire started on Monday, the CFA said. The fire is believed to have been started by lightning.
CFA advice to residents at Harrietville said a control line had been built around the town and 170 firefighters had been strategically placed in the area.
CFA spokesman Travis Hearn said about 2000 residents visited information buses in Gippsland on Thursday as they prepared to again come under threat.
Two CFA buses visited towns, including Seaton, Sale, Cowwarr, Maffra and Heyfield. ''Something people need to do is emotionally prepare as well as physically prepare,'' Mr Hearn said.
Police said they would be monitoring arsonists on Friday and urged the public to report any suspicious behaviour.
In Melbourne, where a smoke haze continues to pervade in the city, the overnight temperature slipped to 24 degrees at 3.30am. But the mercury rose again quickly, and at 6am, it was 29 degrees.
In fact, the temperature at 11pm was still 30 degrees after yesterday's top of 36.
A cool change is expected later on Friday, with a top on both days of the weekend of 23 predicted. The temperature is expected to stay below 25 degrees until at least Thursday.
Friday is a day of total fire ban across most of the state. There is no ban in the North East and the East Gippsland districts.

Betty Power Lunches with America Ferrera, Julianna Margulies and Steven Colbert
BettyConfidential attends the New York Women in Film and Television Muse Awards.
-April Daniels Hussar
It was definitely a New York City event – a sea of little black dresses and killer high heels greeted me as I made my way in to the New York Women in Film and Television Muse Awards yesterday. America Ferrera, Julianna Margulies, comedy writer/producer Allison Silverman, and Lifetime CEO Andrea Wong were all honored as Muses, and the dynamic women behind Chicken Egg Pictures received the Lorren Arbus award, given to those who "take action and effect change." All told it was a smart and moving event, full of moments of humor, inspiration, and yes, really great shoes.
America Ferrera (who looked far, far from Ugly Betty in a Mad-Men-esque little black dress and a pair of fierce stilettos sporting tell-tale red soles) had everyone in tears as she recounted the tale of her first muse, her 5th grade teacher Mrs. Rodriguez. It's Mrs. Rodriguez whom America credits with instilling a belief in herself that sustains her to this day. When America auditioned for the lead role of Oliver in the 5th grade musical, Mrs. Rodriguez cast her as The Artful Dodger (and even better role, truth be told) and never questioned what a "little brown person" was thinking, trying to play a "white British orphan boy." It was Mrs. Rodriguez's "silent support," said America, that meant so much to her – she didn't try to make an example out of her student, but instead just colluded with 5th grade America Ferrera's belief that she could try – and do – anything she wanted.
By the time we learned that Mrs Rodriguez died years ago of stomach cancer (and that a young America attended her funeral, and hoped her beloved teacher knew how much she meant to her), there wasn't a dry eye in the house. I could barely manage to finish my chocolate soufflé. (Barely I said. It was a really good chocolate soufflé.)
Julianna Margulies was also sniffling, but, as she explained, she was having a close relationship with Dayquil. Ah yes, the reality of New York City in the winter, which, as Margulies joked, is, especially for mommies, full of "petri dishes." Margulies pointed out that, while women in film and TV have a ways to go, we do have the gorgeous Meryl Streep, age 60, on the cover of Vanity Fair AND playing a romantic lead this month. So we are "making progress." A true NYC girl, Margulies also thanked the NYC tax bureau for bringing back incentives for productions to shoot in town. (No commute for this Good Wife.)
A high point of the event was a surprise appearance by Steven Colbert, who popped on stage to introduce honoree Allison Silverman. Silverman, who herself gave a hilarious and moving speech, served as first a writer on The Colbert Report and then as his executive producer until … oh, 73 days ago — "but who's counting?" Colbert sniffled.
And finally, Andrea Wong would be one of those people who would be easy to hate (MIT grad, "looks great in a bikini," incredibly successful TV exec), if she didn't come across as such an intelligent and grateful person. We have her to thank for Dancing With the Stars, one of her many accomplishments while at ABC (we can also thank Jimmy Kimmel for being wrong – he confessed saying no one would ever want to watch a bunch of C and D-list stars ballroom dancing). Wong is also known as the only woman to have seduced Tim Gunn (she sealed the deal that brought Project Runway to Lifetime).
It may have been a man's world at some point, but as these inspiring ladies exemplify, we've come a long way, baby.
April Daniels Hussar is BettyConfidential's Deputy Editor.

THE NEGLIGENCE of a landlord who failed to put proper fire safety regulations in place could have led to "the death or injury" of his tenants, a court heard.
Zohar Khan, aged 45, pleaded guilty to five offences which took place at one of his properties in Walmersley Road.
Bury Magistrates heard that the fire alarm was faulty and switched off, and that a smoke detector had been fitted in the wrong place and could not be heard in the bedsits.
The court was also told that there were combustible items in the hall and landings, which would have helped a fire take hold and spread.
There were also no fire doors or holes in the ceilings, which meant that a fire in any part of the property would have quickly spread, and smoke and toxic gases would have blocked the only escape route.
Khan, of Hampton Grove, Bury, was fined £3,400 for each offence, making a total of £17,000.
In addition, he was ordered to pay the fire service £2,223 in costs and a £120 victim surcharge at a hearing on Tuesday.
Addressing Khan, Mrs Lynn Smith JP, chairman of the bench, said: "The court takes these charges very seriously.
"There was a significant risk to every occupant of the property.
"You are a landlord of 20 properties and your negligence could have caused the death of or injury to your tenants."
Defending, Stephen Rees said that Khan had not realised that the property was classified as a house in multiple occupancy, which presents different risks to residents.
Mr Rees said Khan accepted the property was inadequate, and had carried out work to bring the property to the required standard since the offences in May 2012.
Assistant county fire officer Geoff Harris said after the hearing: "This is another case of a landlord collecting rent from multiple tenants without giving any thought to their safety.
"The fine should send a clear message to private landlords to make sure they understand their responsibilities and make their properties safe."

VirtualBox may be free, but you still have to own a copy of Windows. If you're not willing to shell out a few hundred dollars to Microsoft but still want to run Windows on your Intel-based Mac, there is one more alternative: CrossOver from CodeWeavers costs $40 and runs Windows applications on Mac OS X -- without Windows.
CrossOver is not virtualization, as evidenced by the whimsically named technology behind it: the open source Wine (Wine Is Not an Emulator) project. With CrossOver, Windows applications run directly in Mac OS X, and not in a virtual machine. Wine is an implementation of the Win32 API on Mac OS X. The Windows applications don't know they're not running on Windows. There's also a CrossOver for Linux.
The result is that a Windows application running with CrossOver uses fewer system resources, including memory, disk space, and CPU utilization, than the same app running in Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion. Performance of Windows applications is very good.
[ Parallels Desktop 5, VMware Fusion 3, or VirtualBox 3.1? See "InfoWorld review: Windows on the Mac." ]
Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion can hide the Windows desktop and enable you to move data between the Windows and Mac environments, but they still use Windows' NTFS file system in the form of a virtual C: drive. With CrossOver, Windows apps share the Mac's file system. CrossOver lets you launch not only Windows files, but also Windows applications, directly from the Mac OS X Finder. CrossOver doesn't hide Windows -- it jettisons the operating system.
There is a catch, however: Not all Windows applications run in CrossOver. In fact, quite a few don't. That's because CodeWeavers and the Wine developers tweak Wine for specific programs.
CodeWeavers makes no bones about this trade-off. On its Web site, the company says that CrossOver "runs some Windows applications very well, some so-so, and some not at all." The company Website has an extensive list of Windows applications rated gold, silver, bronze, and "known not to work," according to how well they run in Mac OS X and Linux with CrossOver. When you install CrossOver, the software tells you which Windows applications are supported.
[ Wine is in InfoWorld's Open Source Hall of Fame. See "The greatest open source software of all time" and "Top 10 Open Source Hall of Famers." ]
With each new build of CrossOver, CodeWeavers focuses on the Windows applications that users say they want to run. The CodeWeavers Website lets you vote for the applications that you want to see working better. As of this writing, the game Left 4 Dead (Steam) was No. 1; Internet Explorer 8 was No. 5.
CrossOver comes in two versions: CrossOver and CrossOver Games, each in Mac and Linux versions. CrossOver focuses on optimizing Windows business applications to run. CrossOver Games is optimized for gaming. CodeWeavers also offers a bundle that includes both, CrossOver Professional ($70), which also comes with a year of tech support.
CodeWeavers promises a major new version during the first part of this year, CrossOver 9. The company said that the upgrade will run more Windows applications, and it will do so more cleanly. The new version will focus on improving support of Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office, including fuller support for Excel macros and other smaller Office features. There will also be a user interface revamp.

What is the Obama administration's response to this multifront war? A lot of hot air and shameful inaction.
That the Iranians are proficient state-sponsors of terror is a long-time fact. The Iranians were killing American soldiers in Iraq when we were engaged in liberating that country. The Iranians have been supporting Hamas in Gaza, which just this week finished firing 25 rockets at the Israeli town of Sderot.
Iran is also the main sponsor of Hezbollah in Lebanon, which not only has used its arms against Israel and other Lebanese civilians, but has largely taken over the political system, and has more recently brutally attacked Lebanese supporters of the Syrian uprising. These threats to Lebanon's stability have made the non-Hezbollah political establishment nervous enough to suggest negotiating disarmament with Hezbollah (excluding, of course, Hezbollah military action against Israel), which was quickly rejected with a threat.
"God wanted this [Hezbollah] resistance to be, and it was," said Sheikh Muhammad Yazbak, head of Hezbollah's Sharia committee. "It uses weapons and continue (sic) to do so, despite what people say, here and there."
The Obama administration was until last week, engaged in negotiations with our European partners and Iran to settle on how to limit Iran's progress toward a nuclear weapon. Those talks, once again, went nowhere, except to highlight that Iran is feeling quite proud of itself, both for stymieing American and European efforts to stop Iranian uranium enrichment and the progress of that enrichment too.
President Obama has now received a bipartisan letter from 44 senators urging further sanctions against Iran as well as "making clear that a credible military option exists" should the most recent talks end without agreement. And they have.
Similarly, former Sen. Charles Robb of the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) recently testified before Congress that "the dual approach of diplomacy and sanctions simply have not proved to be enough. We need the third track, and that is credible and visible preparations for a military option."
These calls for further action against Iran by the White House have been received in silence.
Meanwhile, there is an opportunity for the United States to gain a victory over Iran that doesn't require a full-scale military operation against Tehran. Such a confrontation should happen over Syria and Iran's continued involvement in propping up the Assad regime. Iran has installed its own Revolutionary Guard troops in Syria to carry out the bloody suppression of a nearly two-year-long uprising against the Syrian dictator. Iranian and Russian arms are being used by Iranian troops to kill Syrian civilians and fighters alike. The United Nations-sponsored peace plan is covered in blood and shame and again the Obama administration's response is near-complete inaction.
Moreover, even if this affront to humanitarian and moral principles weren't enough to spur Mr. Obama to action to stop Damascus' war against its own citizens, our military has determined that a successful confrontation over Syria would do a lot to weaken Iran in the process. As U.S. Central Command chief Gen. James N. Mattis testified to Congress in March, the downfall of Assad would be "the biggest strategic setback for Iran in 25 years."
Iran is facing down America's presence in the Middle East, threatening our security and the security of our allies with every available arrow in its quiver. The Obama administration refuses to even take the field.

Politiken, a Danish daily with a circulation of 210,000, carried a full-page report headed "Islam is questioning Darwin." The report in question noted the responses to teachers of the theory of evolution from their students and the changes taking place in Europe with the arrival of the Atlas of Creation. The report stated that creationism had been "restored to strength" following the distribution in Western countries of the Atlas of Creation:
Peter C. Kjærgaard, who teaches the history of ideas and is one of the country's experts on Darwin, usually provides statements about the theory of evolution. In the meantime he usually encounters biology teachers and high school teachers who are finding increasing difficulties in teaching evolution. Religious students regard the theory as an attack on their religious cultures.
Peter C. Kjærgaard says: "Christians and Muslims have an unbelievable amount of propaganda materials … The theory of evolution is regarded as the equivalent of the worst of Western culture."
Christian and Muslim creationists believe that life, the Earth and the entire universe were created by a Divine power... This message is set out in the Islamic Atlas of Creation, by Turkish Harun Yahya, which Muslim creationists regard as a reference.
Last year this work was sent out to politicians, researchers, teachers and the ordinary public across the world: thanks to it, Muslim creationism was restored to full strength. The book unequivocally repudiates Darwinism and holds it responsible for Nazism, terrorism and racism.
... Jesper Mebus, president of the Association of Danish Biologists, which brings together biology teachers from high schools, teacher trainer colleges and universities, is aware of the problems being faced from the classes he teaches at the Sankt Knuds High School in Odense.

Football is a uniquely American sport. It was developed in this country, and the game itself represents the rough-and-tumble nature of the American people.
I can only imagine what the energy is like in the West Hall locker room right now.
We still have five teams with a legitimate chance to make the playoffs, and I have the feeling that Flowery Branch has one of the best Class AAAA teams in the state.
What is the perfect high school offense?
After four weeks, Flowery Branch is still Hall County's best football team.
It all makes sense now why Gainesville coach Bruce Miller didn't seem concerned or worried after his program lost 49-0 in Week 1 against Class AA's top-ranked Buford (5-0).
The North subregion in Region 8-AAA is looking like it will be the most interesting to follow when the playoff race picks up this season, as four quality teams will be in the hunt for playoff spots.
Today is Labor Day and a day of rest for most, but I'd love to see the Georgia High School Association get back to work and work out this mess for reclassifying the state's 437 member schools sooner than later.
I may be in a slim minority, but I think high school football is getting overly commercialized with so many games broadcast on live television. It's a trend that seems to be growing quite rapidly.

Christopher Nolan
Christopher Nolan broke into the mainstream with his 2000 art-house crossover Memento, and he's been releasing one smash after another in the years since (in fact, not one of his post-Memento efforts has made less than $50 million at the American box office). But it's Nolan's success with his Batman trilogy that has everyone talking about what's next. Well, the news is in: Nolan will be producing the new Superman movie, Man of Steel, slated for June 2013.
AppealLittle is known about Christopher's personal life as he's been married since 1997 to one Emma Thomas. It's interesting to note that Christopher has remained faithful in the face of his escalating success and fame, despite the fact that he has worked with some seriously beautiful women over the years. In this regard, it's hard not to respect him.
SuccessGiven that Christopher has worked with some of the biggest stars in the world -- including Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman and Al Pacino -- there's little doubt that he's earned the respect of his peers, and his films have earned hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide.
Christopher Nolan BiographyChristopher Nolan was born on July 30, 1970, in London, England. The son of an American mother and a British father, Christopher's talents were revealed at an unusually early age. The aspiring filmmaker produced his first short when he was just 7 years old, using his dad's Super 8 camera and a selection of his own action figures. Christopher, who spent much of his youth living in both America and the UK, drew inspiration from a wide variety of sources and, to this day, counts the original Star Wars as one of the most eye-opening experiences of his life.
By the time he had enrolled at University College London, Christopher had established himself as a permanent fixture within the school's film society, cranking out one short film after another. Though the majority of his early work was seen only by his friends and family, Christopher did gain some early success with a surreal effort called Tarantella, which garnered praise and eventually aired on a well-regarded PBS program devoted to film. After another short, Larceny, received a slot at the 1996 Cambridge Film Festival, Christopher decided the time was right to make his full-length feature debut.
christopher nolan directs followingHaving cobbled together approximately $6,000 worth of funding, Christopher started production on 1998's Following, a mystery/thriller revolving around a central character who spends his days surreptitiously pursuing random folks. Most of his cast and crew were comprised of friends he had made during his university days, and the movie was shot over the course of one year entirely on weekends (the erratic schedule was dictated by the day jobs of every one working on it). The hard work paid off once the movie -- and, by association, Christopher -- became the toast of various film festivals, and it wasn't long before the up-and-coming director was fielding offers from production companies eager to fund his next effort.
christopher nolan directs mementoChristopher eventually settled on Newmarket Films for his next project and set out to adapt a short story written by his brother Jonathan called Memento Mori. Starring Guy Pearce, Carrie-Anne Moss and Joe Pantoliano, 2000's Memento stunned audiences and critics alike with its complexity and cemented Christopher's place as one of the most promising young filmmakers to hit the scene in ages.
Christopher even found himself nominated for an Oscar for his screenplay, and although he lost out to Julian Fellowes -- who won for Robert Altman's Gosford Park (2001) -- the director was essentially given free reign for his next project.
christopher nolan directs insomniaFor the first time in his relatively short career, Christopher decided to film material that he didn't compose, by agreeing to helm 2002's Insomnia. A remake of a well-regarded Norwegian film, Insomnia starred Al Pacino as a weary detective whose latest assignment brings him face-to-face with a sociopath named Walter Finch, played by Robin Williams. The movie, which also featured appearances by Hilary Swank, Maura Tierney and Jonathan Jackson, afforded Christopher the opportunity to work within the confines of a linear, straightforward narrative, while its overwhelmingly positive critical and financial reception proved that he had the ability to tackle just about any genre -- something that would be put to the test with his follow-up.
christopher nolan directs batman beginsAfter the catastrophic release of 1997's Batman & Robin, it became clear that a new direction for the fledgling series was needed. Though Darren Aronofsky was briefly considered, Warner Bros. decided to hand over the reigns of their most profitable property to Christopher in 2005. Christopher, along with Blade (1998) and Dark City (1998) screenwriter David S. Goyer, envisioned a rebirth of the Batman saga, a move that necessitated the hiring of a much younger actor to play the Caped Crusader. A who's who of young Hollywood auditioned for the role -- including Jake Gyllenhaal, Joshua Jackson and Billy Crudup -- but Nolan finally settled on critical darling Christian Bale, an actor best known for his work as sociopath Patrick Bateman in 2000's American Psycho. Armed with a stellar supporting cast -- consisting of, among others, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman and Katie Holmes -- Batman Begins was released in the summer of 2005 to instant success, and Christopher was credited with single-handedly resurrecting the Batman franchise.
christopher nolan directs the prestigeRather than rest on his laurels, Christopher decided to immediately dive into another project following Batman Begins, settling on an adaptation of Christopher Priest's novel The Prestige. Christopher, who cowrote the film's screenplay with his brother Jonathan, enlisted his Batman Begins collaborators Christian Bale and Michael Caine, and added Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson and Piper Perabo to the mix. The Prestige (2006) also marked Christopher's return to the sort of complex, non-linear storytelling that defined his earlier work, and though it had the misfortune to follow The Illusionist (2006), which also revolved around 18th-century magicians, the film managed to rake in a healthy box-office gross, and even landed a pair of Oscar nominations for Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography.
christopher nolan directs the dark knight and the dark night risesFollowing The Prestige, Christopher got right to work on the highly-anticipated sequel to Batman Begins, The Dark Knight (2008). Along with returning actors Christian Bale and Michael Caine, Christopher lined up Heath Ledger as the Joker, Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent and Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel Dawes (picking up where Katie Holmes left off). The film ruled the box office when it was released in the summer of 2008 and got everyone talking about what Nolan would do next. Before Nolan jumped into his final Batman flick, however, he made a little movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio called Inception.
Afterward, Christopher Nolan concentrated on The Dark Knight Rises, which starred Anne Hathaway as Catwoman, as well as Tom Hardy as Bane and Joseph Gordon-Levitt as John Blake.
christopher nolan produces man of steelAfter the success of The Dark Knight Rises, which marked the end of Nolan's involvement in the Batman series, everyone was talking about his next project. Sticking to the superhero genre, Nolan is producing the highly anticipated Superman flick, Man of Steel, slated for release in June 2013.

SAINT LEO, Fla.- The Saint Leo women's soccer team picked up its first Sunshine State Conference victory with a 1-0 win over visiting Lynn University Wednesday night at University Field and improve to a record of 6-3, 1-0 in conference play.
An outstanding 45 yard shot from freshman Selena Jaimes soared into the net off the cross bar from a free kick. This goal came for the Lions' in the 25th minute notching the only goal in the contest. As the shot category was evenly matched in the first half, the Lions' goaltender Abby Evans earned a clean sheet and added two saves with help from the defense.
The Fighting Knights (2-5-2, 0-1 SSC) entered the second half immediately creating opportunities and were quickly denied by the Lions' senior leadership efforts. As both teams had three shots on goal, the Lions' defense took stride as they made a critical team save when Evans was caught away from goal.
Lynn's goalie Katie Nimitz had her first start in net for the Fighting Knights yielding only one goal facing six shots.

"I wasn't looking for something too complicated but I wanted something that was better looking than a home made thing, and this design was the best of everything I was looking for. its just great! I love it!"
"I got these to match my invites and got several compliments on our invitations. We were doing online RSVP's so we used these to direct people to our wedding website, and only sent response cards to our older relatives and those not as internet savvy. I went for the rounded corners, and upgraded pearlized paper. My experience with Wedding Paper Divas was great. The design team were very helpful in adjusting my custom colour until it was just right. Very fast shipping as well. Highly recommended!"

"I used WPD to make a Save the Date card for my upcoming wedding and it was such a seamless process! I had a few changes to the design which they more than happily fixed, and their customer service was fantastic. Literally in 3-4 days I had designed the card, approved a proof, and received my shipment (with express delivery)."
"We love our save-the-dates! The quality is really good with shinier printing on the front and regular printing on the back to account for the photo versus text. The picture does print a little more "faded" than I thought it would, but for the picture we chose this worked well but keep it in mind for choosing what colors to use. Friends who received this commented on how cute and elegant it was!"
"Love that it wasnt too big and can fit on the side of the fridge nicely (if you have a stainless steel fridge). Love it."
"Overall, I am super impressed with this. The save the dates came exactly one week earlier than the promise date, and they are so awesome looking! It doesn't feel like a true postcard, with the shiny look and smooth feel, but it is pretty close. At the end of the day, I couldn't be happier."
"My fiance and I absolutely loved the sae the date!!! Our guests have been complimenting us since they got them!! Thanky you!!"

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
One of the main reasons why we cannot remember people's names is because we never get the name in the first place. This can be caused by a variety of factors. Maybe you never exchanged names, maybe the person mumbled their name, or maybe you were in an environment where it was difficult to hear. Whatever the reason, it is clear that you will never remember someone's name if you never got it in the first place.
If you didn't get the name because it was spoken too quickly, quietly, or incoherently, do not let it slide. Ask the person or the introducer to repeat the name so you can hear it. Then be sure that you repeat their name as well. Don't be nervous about mispronouncing a complicated name. The other person will be happy to help you say it (people like their own names and like to hear people use them). This will guarantee that you get their name correct and will reinforce it in your memory.
After you have gotten the name, you should try to repeat their name throughout the conversation. This will focus your attention on the name, which will make you remember better. If you can, you may also want to write their name down so you can see it as well as hear it. This will also give you a way to review their name at a later time.
