63 wins, title
Oh, I see how it is. Didn't like my wins prediction thread!
57 wins. Central champs. Finals appearance.
63 wins, which would be a franchise record, NBA champions
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
56 wins, Finals
58 wins...and that longggg awaited NBA championship banner.
No idea about regular season wins. I believe that we are built for the post-season anyway.
As far as the playoffs are concerned I expect either a 6-7 game ECF series or a Finals appearance.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
53 wins. I think we start off mediocre, hit a hot spot around the ASB, hit another slow spot then go to the playoffs hot.
I think we see major steps forward from Hill, PG, and Roy. Small step back (usage wise) from West.
I think the Bulls, Nets would give us more problems than the Heat.
Another ECF appearance that goes 6-7 games depending on whom we play.

53 wins and a loss in the 2nd round. Not an indictment of the Pacers but a testament to how tough the East is at the top.
Next year, the Nets will be even older and looking to shed salary and the Heat may have broken up. The East will be much easier.
Win 50-55 games, make the ECF's. If Danny is healthy for the playoffs, I certainly think we can win the championship. If Danny isn't, I think getting to the ECF's and giving Miami a run for their money will be a fair bet.

56 wins, lose in the second round to Miami or Chicago in 7.
Granger will have games where he looks like his old self and games where he looks awful. Around the trade deadline, there will be debates about whether the Pacers have enough to make it to the Finals and whether the Pacers should trade Granger. Granger ultimately doesn't get traded (though not for lack of trying, there just aren't any reasonable deals).
Paul George continues to improve and makes the All-Star team again but struggles to be the go-to guy on the perimeter and at the end of games.
54 wins and lose in the conference finals
62 wins
#1 in East
4-1 over #8 CLE
4-2 over #4 BKN
4-2 over #3 MIA
4-0 over HOU
PG regular season and Finals MVP
Roy DPOY
DG 6th Man of the Year
Lance wins MIP
58 wins.
Lose in 6 to the Heat in ECF.
Change is neither good or bad, it simply is.
I see the Pacers having a chance to break both their franchise record for wins, which is 61, and their record for games won in a row which is 12.
Man. These are some heavy expectations.
We didn't even get 50 regular season wins last season, what makes you think we will reach 60+?
58 wins
NBA Finals appearance
What I hope - 56 wins and a NBA Championship.
What I expect - 51 wins and an epic and hard fought 2nd round Playoff loss to the Bulls.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
Well, 60+ wins may be too optimistic....but I think that it's entirely possible that the Team improves on their previous record of 49 wins. The Team's roster and depth has improved, etc., etc., etc.
Ash from Army of Darkness: Good...Bad...I'm the guy with the gun.
58-62 wins.
ECF appearance.
Finals? Flip a coin.
Roy will be an AS. (14/10/3blks)
PG will be an AS. (22/8/5assists/2stls)

I hope you are correct. That means I get to watch a win about 75% of the time. :-)
54 Wins. I have no clue what to expect as the final outcome of this season.
Take me out to the black, tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me.
58 wins and a trip to the Finals.
My heart says they will win it all but if they have to play the Spurs, I don't think they can beat them. The Thunder isn't nearly as scary without Harden and the Clippers have no answer defensively for the Pacers frontcourt.
-58-61 wins
-ECF's appearance
-50/50 them getting to the Finals, but if they do I think they'll win it.
I'm just not extremely scared of the Spurs and I don't think that they'll be in the Finals anyway. Outside of Leonard, their core is pretty old, and their 2013 run reminds me of that last hurrah the Celtics had in 2012. The Spurs had by far the easiest playoff run of any Western champ in recent years. The Kobe-less Lakers were a pathetic joke. The Warriors were talented, but last year was their first postseason appearance, so they just didn't have the mental strength. The Grizzlies are a very good team, but they just don't have that elite vibe to them. The Spurs benefited from the fact that Kobe and especially Westbrook went down. I just don't see them making it out of the West if everyone is healthy. The Rockets and Thunder will wear them out. Remember in 2012 when the Spurs had a 2-0 lead on the Thunder, but then lost the series 4-2?
Compare the Spurs' run last year to what the Mavs did in 2011 when they took out the defending champ Lakers and a young super talented Thunder team. You can't control who is on the schedule, but the Spurs' ran through an extremely watered down conference.
52 wins.
If that is good enough for 1 seed in the East, we go to the Finals.
If not, we're out in the ECF.
I would suspect 52 wins will be #2 in the East.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...

A DRUNKEN attacker who left his victim with a smashed cheek in Boxing Day violence, walked free from court – and the reason was partly down to a policeman who turned up to arrest him.
Burnley Crown Court heard Shane Chew, 26, had attacked Karl Antal in the toilets at the Conservative Club in Barnoldswick and then hit him repeatedly in the face after he fell.
One of the officers who went to detain Chew was PC Matthew Lunney, who had known the defendant for six years, since he was a local beat officer.
The officer, who was knocked down and injured as the defendant tried to get away, told in a statement how Chew was a 'good lad' when sober, but when he was drunk he could be violent.
The officer said he had tried to get him help in the past.
Mr Antal suffered a fractured cheekbone, bruises to his eyes and an eyebrow laceration and had to have stitches.
Chew, who has a record for violence, had been given a suspended jail term for three charges of battery three -and-half years ago, but had kept out of trouble since.
The defendant, of Cam Lane, Thornton-in-Craven, had admitted inflicting grievous bodily harm, damage and resisting police.
He received nine months in jail, suspended for 18 months, with 18 months supervision.
Chew was also banned from on-licence premises for 18 months and must pay £1,200 compensation.

Dursley 15 Gordon League 13
DURSLEY kept their survival hopes alive by picking up their first win since November against Gordon League.
The squad is still plagued by injuries but the return of several old heads boosted the ranks.
Dursley made a confident start and with just three minutes gone were awarded a penalty 35 metres out in front of the posts, which full back Dan Brooks was unlucky to push wide in the strong wind.
Flanker Olli Steel was on fire at the breakdown, making ball retention difficult for the opposition.
Centre Jack Rowe and returning experienced second row Mark Perry made good yards with several strong runs and some excellent tackling by fly half Tom Broomfield closed down breaks by Gordon League.
A committed chase up the wing by centre James Sheldon, supported by winger Dave Sheldon, secured territory, and with 13 minutes gone and from a much improved lineout on the five metre line, the Dursley forward pack of Jake Martin, Simon Camm, Paul Winterbottom, Scott Udal, Perry, Harry Lea, Steel and Jack Robson drove over in the corner, ably shepherded by scrum half Aaron Lennard, with flanker Lea touching down.
Brooks' conversion from the touchline was just wide of the posts.
Dursley were unfortunate not to add another try when the ball was touched down but called back for a previous infringement.
Hooker Camm showed little thought for his own safety as he heroically threw himself on any loose ball.
Midway through the first half saw the return of prop Darren Noble, adding weight and experience to the front row and solidarity to the scrum in difficult conditions.
As the half drew to a close, Dursley missed out on a further try scoring opportunity after a hack through was just too long for the chasing backs, leaving the score 5-0.
With the team working well no changes were made at half-time and the first came after ten minutes with Joe McGough coming on at scrum half for Lennard. The next five minutes saw Gordon League awarded two penalties, which were kicked to give them a 6-5 lead.
Dursley upped the tempo with No 8 Jake Martin bumping off several tacklers and hard work by the forward pack to steadily pick and drive to the line was rewarded by a try from Martin with Brooks adding the conversion to put Dursley back ahead at 12-6.
Gordon League fought back and five minutes later regained the lead with a push over scrum under the posts, with the try converted.
With 10 minutes left to play Perry was replaced by Rich Brooks and Jack Robson for Harry Lea.
As play resumed Dursley were awarded a penalty 30 metres out in front of the posts, which Brooks slotted through the middle to regain the lead.
Dursley continued to defend strongly against some desperate play from Gordon League with some good cover by winger Josh Bailey and a well won turnover by Broomfield in the closing minutes allowed Dursley possession until the end of the game.

BlogHer '11: Strategic branding or over-gifting?
- Tagged in Marketing Strategy
- Leave a Comment
I'll start with the fake eyelashes.
Why fake eyelashes? Because at BlogHer 2011, sweets company Skinny Cow was offering them — and free ice cream — and the attitude at BlogHer was very much "Why not?"
So I snacked on an ice cream truffle bar and stood in line for a beauty professional to stick fake lashes to my eyelids. The gluing was less than pleasing, but I was incredibly amused by the whole experience.
I'm guessing that was the point.
The expo at BlogHer in San Diego last weekend took conference tchotchke to a new level, and brands literally handed over products by the boxes like we were trick-or-treaters.
Companies heavily wooed bloggers with swag, and the goodies were over the top. Free pens, reusable grocery bags, and big bowls of candy didn't cut it with this crowd.
We're talking some serious loot.
Pfizer (#pfizerblogher) handed out yoga mats, Robitussin, ChapStick, ThermaCare heated back wraps, Advil, and Caltrate.
Dr. Scholl's was giving out smushy inserts for heels and reuseable flats for tired conference feet.
Lindt gave out big chocolate bars.
Quaker gave flip flops.
Ella's Kitchen handed out baby food by the squeezy bottles.
Johnson & Johnson reps strolled the expo floor, unloading gift bags with toothbrushes, baby shampoo, and Band-Aids.
Office supplier 3M gave away Post-it products and highlighters.
Veteran BlogHer attendees (who clearly knew the takings were good) shamelessly deposited gifts into rollerbags.
I had never seen anything like it. As a journalist, there are major ethical reasons why the taking of such gifts is prohibited. But it seemed — at least at this conference — that the rules for bloggers are a little different.
All companies at the expo hoped that bloggers would like the products well enough to write something up. And when brands didn't have actual goods to give away on the floor, some companies chose a different tactic: Send a gift box to the blogger's home after collecting their contact information.
That was P&G's strategy with its 'Home Away from Home' at house at BlogHer — a mock home on the conference floor that allowed bloggers to tour, and visit each room and product (Tide, Pantene, Swiffer, Cascade, etc.). At the conclusion of the tour, bloggers could drop their info into a computer and order a gift box of products to be sent free to their home.
Other companies offered other experiences like cooking demonstrations and plenty of food stops.
Lee Jeans offered jean fittings with the help of a special tent on the expo floor.
Tropicana invited E! News host Giuliana Rancic to pose for pictures with fans, while other conference attendees sat in the back getting pedicures.
Google reps took the opportunity to showcase Google+ and show bloggers how to use Circles and Hangouts.
One mommy blogger said it took her four hours to get through all the vendors at the expo. The variety of companies at BlogHer truly was impressive. For BlogHer watchers, it'll be interesting to see how high the bar was set this year with conference swag. Could this be a trend with blog and social media meetings? Does the swag distribution pay off for brands?
We shall see.

3 Comments on Blog Post Title
I wrote my own post that approached things a little differently. It was more about how (if) the swag helped accomplish the goals of the brands. The bigger question is: did the brands really have goals?
My question to you, though, is about this statement: "As a journalist, there are major ethical reasons why the taking of such gifts is prohibited. But it seemed — at least at this conference — that the rules for bloggers are a little different."
What's your take? Do you equate bloggers with journalists? Is it our responsibility to report news and events with an unbiased opinion? It's a question that is raised often. Brands don't want to pay bloggers because they consider them "media" but they want to shower them with gifts for free PR.
P.S. BlogHer is a women's blogging conference and there were plenty of non-mommy bloggers (collected swag as well!)
You're totally right — everyone collected swag. This was a lot of information to take in. To answer your question on equating bloggers with journalists, I'm not sure that I'm the best person to ask. I'm both. I find blogging allows me to have much more freedom to have an opinion on things, but the journalist in me still requires strict and unbiased reporting.
Wish I was there… You have to give to get. And it's no different with branding.. Especially with all the noise and competition.

Pontypridd RFC have nominated Chris Dicomidis as club captain for the 2010 – 2011 campaign.
The vacancy left open by the departure of former skipper Nathan Strong will now be filled by a player who has shown great commitment to the cause, and who was voted as Player of the Year 2010.
Back five forward Dicomidis was a stalwart performer for Ponty, making thirty-four appearances for the club last season, many of those as captain in the absence of Nathan Strong. That role will now be formally bestowed upon him.
Senior coach Dale McIntosh, in making the announcement of Dicomidis' appointment, expressed his full confidence in the players' ability to take on the leading role.
"Dico has shown tremendous form over the past couple of seasons" said McIntosh "and has already shown his leadership qualities, often in difficult circumstances on the field of play.
"He can now develop those qualities further in the role of club captain, and enhance his stature amongst the squad, both on and off the field. Undoubtedly he has the capability to do so."
There will be no formal nomination of a vice-captain, with a number of players sharing the load in support of the new skipper, as explained by McIntosh. "We are looking at the senior players amongst the squad, the likes of Gavin Dacey, Adam Thomas, Ryan Harford and Wayne O'Connor, to take on the responsibilities of backing up the captain.
"This will allow the players to focus on their own game but also to step up in turn to the role of vice captain."
Look out for Dico's first Captain's Blog – coming soon on this website!

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A hospital in Columbus is helping families modify toys so that they can be used by children with disabilities.
Workers at Nationwide Children's Hospital showed about 25 families on Saturday how to make toys with small switches and buttons easier to navigate.
The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/VdXDEh ) reports that this is the second year the hospital has put on the program.
A Chicago organization that helps families with disabled children and works with manufacturers to adapt toys says one in five children has a disability or special need.
One parent at the hospital's program in Columbus says it's tough to find toys for her son and that she often has to put his hands on a toy so he can play with it.

A car has smashed into a Sainsbury's Local shop in Chessington this morning.
It is believed a Ford and a black Astra crashed into one another causing one to slam into the North Parade shop at about 9.30am.
James Trott, of Derek Avenue, Epsom, who saw the aftermath of the crash, said: "I heard a noise but I didn't see it actually happen.
"There was quite a hoohah around there. It was quite busy in the shop so it's quite lucky no one was killed."
Surbiton and New Malden firefighters attended.
London Ambulance and Kingston police both attended to reports of a car going into a building but there was no need for medical treatment.
Joe Lammin, who works in the Martin's newsagent next door, said: "It is a bit scary - I was working next door and my whole counter shook."

yep, it's half of a precision bass pickup.
why someone would do that?... actually, I would like to listen the sound of that freak guitar.
And it's got two jack plugs!

As for the two jacks, maybe he wired it in stereo?
This whole thing looks strange. It looks like someone wanted to have a bass and 6 string guitar in one guitar w/one neck. Only, the bass pu was put under the wrong strings. One jack could be for the bass pu, the other for the bridge pu. I don't even know what tuning is to be used with this thing. I'd be curious to hear the sounds that come out of it.

im dying to know how it sounds, but i found the image online randomly.
actually im suspecting this might be like what the guy from Local H did when they couldnt find a bass player. He put bass pickups on his SG through a different output jack into a bass amp

AFAIR, one coil of a split Precision Bass pickup makes a pretty tidy mandolin pickup. The Mustang/Electric XII coil should throw a wide enough magnetic field to sense both the E and A strings. What happens to the signals after that is anybody's guess. (My suggestion is split signals a la Billy Sheehan Attitude signature bass.)
Relocating the anchoring point of the low E string is probably just a crude attempt to achieve a better break angle over the bridge saddles. (A Buzz Stop would have looked tidier.)

Where are my Bobbi Brown Cosmetics fans at? You're going to love this, if you haven't gone out and bought it already. Take a look below at a few of the latest products from the Skin Perfecting Retouching Powder and the Pink & Red Collections.
The Skin Perfecting Retouching Powder ($36) was created to instantly make your skin look better, while making it completely undetectable. There are six different shades to choose from that could help you correct color, add warmth, hide redness, or brighten dullness. It's up to you! According to Bobbi Brown, it was developed with a sheer, light-transmitting base. This allow it to brighten and illuminate your skin while reducing excess oil. It's best to use their new Sheer Powder Brush ($42) for light application.
Now, the Pink & Red Collection ($18-$26), according to Bobbi Brown, "isn't about matching your lips, cheeks, and nails. It's about deliberately mismatching. I love pink and red worn together-it's a very modern mix." In this collection you'll find limited edition colors in their Sheer Color Cheek Tint, Creamy Matte Lip Color, Sheer Lip Gloss, and Nail Polish.
From the Pink & Red Collection, I tried out the Creamy Matte Lip Color ($24) in Heart and the Sheer Color Cheek Tint ($26) in Sheer Pink. I'm always a sucker for a beautiful red lip color. And this is another one to add to the list of favorites. It's very creamy and moisturizing. The cheek tint was very sheer, below is two swipes on my hand. It glides on smoothly…love that. It's that perfect pop of pink for your cheeks.
What do you want to try out from these collections?
The Skin Perfecting Retouching Powders come in White, Yellow, Peach, Pink, Rose, and Brown.

SUMMERFIELD, Fla. - An 84-year-old man pepper-sprayed a security guard at a Marion County retirement community bingo game after deputies say the man refused to leave handicapped parking spots open for two women described as "elderly and crippled."
The security guard, who works at the Spruce Creek South Community Center, told deputies on Tuesday night that two handicapped parking spots are regularly reserved for a pair of elderly woman who have difficulty walking into the facility on bingo nights. Other handicapped parking spots remain available for others.
The 84-year-old man drove up to the building on Tuesday and removed a milk crate blocking one of the reserved handicapped parking spots, according to a report. The security guard said he followed the man inside and told him to move his vehicle or it would be towed, sparking an argument.
The 84-year-old then pulled out a small container of pepper spray and squirted the security guard in the face twice, according to deputies.
The man told deputies that he has been having issues with the security guard for the last couple of weeks and that he felt threatened as the guard was coming toward him to confront him.
The security guard, who said he had been having issues with the 84-year-old over the parking spot for several weeks, adamantly refused to press charges against the retiree, citing his age.
The 84-year-old promised deputies he would cooperate with the security guard in the future and "leave the parking spot vacant for the less fortunate", according to the report.
The man was asked to leave the facility for the night, which he agreed to.

I've got a really quick Beauty Buzz for you guys. You can thank my dry skin. LOL! We all know that nothing feels better than smooth skin. Especially, when the chillier temps tend to wreak havoc on it. Which is something I always have to deal with. I'm not usually a fan of body scrubs, but this is one that has caught my attention.
Bliss' Vanilla + Bergamot Body Buff ($36) is a scrub with some amazing lush ingredients like Shea Butter, Jojoba oil, Aloe Vera Extract, and Vanilla Bean pieces. After one use my skin feels soft and it smells really good. Like I said, this is a quick one…just want to introduce you all to this scrub!
Are you a fan of Bliss products? Which one is your favorite?

text: Dear Wheaton magazine, As your editor for the past 23 years, I can hardly believe that this will be our last issue together. After more than 30 years at Wheaton, I'll be retiring. On the shelves in my office are bound copies of your every issue, beginning with your debut in January 1929 as the Wheaton Alumni Quarterly. What a history you've had. Article upon article has chronicled the life of the College and, in so doing, revealed information and insights about the church, cultures, and countries around the world. All this, simply by telling stories of Wheaton and its people! As one of your 26 editors over the last 85 years, what have I enjoyed about our relationship? Yes, I relish discovering those terrible typos before you've been published. I like putting together the puzzle pieces of words and images—and arranging them so that, I hope, they are meaningful and captivating. I haven't minded the time, thought, and discipline it takes to produce you. But I must say, it's exhilarating when I'm finished and you're in the mail. What I have most appreciated, however, is getting to know alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and other friends. Together you and I mourned the loss of three alumni on 9/11; the untimely deaths of students, faculty, and alumni; and the passing of Wheaton stalwarts of the faith. We felt the heartbreak of an alumna devastated by divorce but full of hope in the Lord, and we wrote about a seriously ill alumnus who died before he saw the article about him. We were inspired by alumni families who serve Christ overseas but whose names cannot be published without risking their lives. We learned about Professor Clyde Kilby's 12 ways to live an abundant, joy-filled life and the 15 reasons why John Piper '68 is thankful for Wheaton College. And we laughed at a student balancing on a slackline. We've traced the lives of alumni through Class News (where, we're told, readers turn first!). For two decades thousands of alumni have joined us outside on cold and hot days for reunion photos at Homecomings and Alumni Weekends. Our life together has become intertwined with theirs. Thanks to you, I've met our readers through cards, letters, events, phone calls, emails, tours, and other remarkable ways. Last summer I went to the City of Wheaton's Fourth of July parade. Finding a good viewing spot on Front Street, I sat on a bench next to a couple in front of Tate's Ice Cream Shop. Soon the woman turned to me and asked if I was the editor of Wheaton magazine, having recognized me from my photo. Colleen Hale '73, M.A. '04 and her husband Keith M.A. '09 were on furlough from their missionwork in Thailand. Imagine this: out of the thousands of people at that parade,I was able to visit with two Wheaton grads from the other side of the world. And theirs is one of 40,000 homes in 113 countries that receive you. So it is with a sad but grateful heart that I bid farewell to you and to Wheaton. But, dear magazine, I'll see you again soon—in my mailbox. Georgia I. Douglass '70, M.A. '94 Editor Feature Articles >

PRIME Minister David Cameron wanted to know how Worcestershire has coped with soaring river levels – by having talks with the county council's leader.
Councillor Adrian Hardman went to Downing Street on Wednesday night to see the PM at Number 10.
Your Worcester News can also reveal how Mr Cameron particularly wanted to know how Upton-upon-Severn has coped with flooding, with concerns over the 2007 crisis still in his memory.
Coun Hardman told the premier how vital it was to avoid cuts to Environment Agency funding, telling him one of the reasons why Worcestershire coped better this time around was because of the body's work.
Around 1,500 jobs are being slashed by the agency, including front-line emergency flooding staff, by October due to cuts in Government funding.
During a full council meeting yesterday, Labour Councillor Luke Mallett asked Coun Hardman if he was worried about "ill conceived and ill-timed" cuts to cash for the body.
Coun Hardman said: "That's a very good question, and was something I actually raised with the Prime Minister when I was able to talk to him at Downing Street last night.
"He was most interested in how the flooding had been going, particularly in Upton, and I was able to assure him that while it was a very close run thing, we didn't have the kind of experience we got in 2007.
"I told him this was largely down to close working with the Environment Agency and stressed that it was absolutely key that there is investment in more flood mitigation measures across the county."
Mr Cameron visited Upton in July 2007 when floods wrecked the town.
During December and the early parts of this month county swollen river levels have caused concern across Worcestershire, leading to flooding in hotspot zones like New Road cricket ground in Worcester.
Five days ago some barriers were taken down in areas like Upton and Bewdley which have protected hundreds of homes.
But several roads have been blocked by flooding in recent weeks and warnings have remained in place at several locations, including in Court Meadow, Kempsey and in Callow End.
The Environment Agency employs 11,250 people nationwide but says it plans to reduce that to 9,700 by October.

Twenty-nine police officers have been injured by fireworks, bricks and other missiles in another night of sectarian rioting in east Belfast.
Violence broke out between republicans and loyalists returning from a protest at Belfast City Hall over a council decision to restrict the flying of the Union flag there.
Northern Ireland's most senior police officer praised his "courageous" colleagues, adding that the vast majority of people were grateful for their efforts.
Senior politicians from Belfast, Dublin and London are to meet next week to discuss the protests after more than 40 days of road blocks and sporadic violence by loyalists failed to produce a solution. Stormont First Minister Peter Robinson and his deputy Martin McGuinness will join Northern Ireland Secretary Theresa Villiers and Ireland's Tanaiste (deputy leader) Eamon Gilmore.
Ms Villiers urged restraint. She said: "We can't afford to have these continuing protests damage our economy and destroy potential jobs for Northern Ireland's young people."
A second peace rally is to be held outside Belfast City Hall later.
Trouble erupted on Saturday afternoon on the Albertbridge Road near the nationalist Short Strand and police separated the opposing factions. As the loyalists approached the Short Strand there was violence across the interface with missiles being thrown by rival factions, which resulted in a number of properties being damaged in the Short Strand.
Police used water cannon and fired six baton rounds as they forced the two sides apart. Four officers were taken to hospital, two have been discharged.
Police Service of Northern Ireland chief constable Matt Baggott said: "This was a difficult operation dealing with a large number of people determined to cause disorder and violence. My colleagues brought the situation under control with exceptional courage and professionalism."
Mr Baggott added: "I know the vast majority of people will be grateful for their efforts. Police will continue to engage with all those committed to finding a solution to these issues."

Acer Shows Off 2880x1620 Panelby Jarred Walton on 1/14/2013 10:58 AM EST

Back to Article
mayankleoboy1 - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkPre-caliberation is something that a lot of companies ignore. Dunno why, as it would give them much better out-of-the-box experience. Reply
Khato - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkIt's hard to justify that when you see how many people are completely oblivious to displays with a horrendous blue shift. Sure if you go back and forth between the calibrated and non-calibrated settings they'll be able to tell the difference, but otherwise... Reply
JarredWalton - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkAnand told an entertaining anecdote about letting a friend borrow his iPad recently. When the friend fired up Netflix, he stated, "I've never seen that color red before!" Now, when he looks at any device, he loads up Netflix and says, "That's not red." Note that this friend is not an Apple user, but he has now been converted to pre-calibration.
Incidentally, I've heard the BoM cost of pre-calibration is somewhere around $5, which is really high when you're looking at things from the penny-pinching perspective that the race to the bottom has created. On the other hand, if you're spending $20 more for 2880x1620 (or possibly even more than that), $5 extra is nothing.
Word to the wise (OEMs): If you send us a great display that's not pre-calibrated, we're going to ding you in the reviews. I did as much with the Acer Aspire S7, I'll do it in the Dell XPS 12 Duo, and I'll continue to do it until companies get with the times. Reply
Tuna-Fish - Monday, April 15, 2013 - linkProper pre-calibration *reduces* sales. People equate bluish shades with "new" and "shiny", and when they look at displays on the showroom, they provably almost always consider the bluest one to be the best. That's why all displays are so horribly miscalibrated, it's sort of an arms race to make your colors look shittier.
The same is true in audio -- when the average person is asked to evaluate audio quality, and in some cases even music quality, 90% of what they score by is simply volume. Reply
JDG1980 - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkDoes anyone know if this will be available as a stand-alone monitor, or will it be available in laptops only? Reply
sheh - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkThe PCWorld article suggests desktop monitors are planned as well:
http://www.pcworld.com/article/2024391/acer-takes-... Reply
DanNeely - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkOTOH from PCW: "Acer noted that it was looking to bring non-touch ultra-high-resolution LCD monitors to the market later in 2013. "
If you're marketing that sort of highend model display why wouldn't you include the touch layer checkbox too? Any mid/high end monitor these days has a USB hub so you've already got the connectivity. Also AFAIK this is high enough resolution that you'd need to use DP which has a 720mbit AUX channel, would carrying the USB2 connection over that be possible? Reply
Calabros - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkThats why photographers pay more and get Apple Reply
Death666Angel - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkWhat kind of professional photographer does not calibrate his display? And they should really get wider gamut than what Apple is offering. Reply
Fleeb - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkThe calibrated NEC monitor reviewed in this site is way better than Apple's displays. Look it up. Reply
damonlynch - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkThe 95% gamut full HD display on my Lenovo laptop works pretty well, thanks - that's better gamut than any Apple laptop. Reply
KoolAidMan1 - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - linkHigher gamut does not mean that it is better. They are actually very inaccurate and not appropriate for work out of the box. Wide gamut displays are often oversaturated and not calibrated to proper sRGB. They can be properly calibrated of course, but there's a good reason why they are so derided on pro forums.
Outside of NEC (the best), Apple, and the most expensive Dell displays, there are very few options out there suitable for color work. Reply
surt - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - linkI think you left out the word 'amateur'. Pros do not use apple. Reply
KoolAidMan1 - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - linkAlmost all I see in the high end motion picture industry is Apple. How much more professional are we looking at here? Reply
nidz109 - Thursday, January 17, 2013 - linkDo you have a source to back that up? I've heard that the motion picture industry is very fond of Linux. Actually, I can't find any information about Apple and major studios. Reply
euler007 - Tuesday, February 26, 2013 - linkSomeone sitting at starbucks pretending to work for a movie company does not constitute "all (...) in the high end motion industry". Reply
evilspoons - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkEven if I never buy a Retina Macbook Pro I will still be grateful for their existence: it might just be what's getting everyone off their arses about the frankly embarrassing pixel densities in current laptops. Reply
Blibbax - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkAnd desktops, for that matter. Reply
KoolAidMan1 - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - linkColor is the thing that I'm even more excited by. It looks spectacular and there's much less need to plug into an external IPS display when doing color correction in the field. Until then the best displays you'd have in the field are color calibrated LCDs or (seriously) an iPad. Reply
Sabresiberian - Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - linkI very much agree here. Reply
ananduser - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkPointless as Windows grants you complete access to the resolution and the scaling. It's going to be a tough road ahead for every dev to optimize the gazillion of Windows programs to something they should've adhered from the start; and that is scaling guidelines. Where Apple forces a double on everything as to avoid non-integer scaling(and still depends on the devs to repatch), Windows allows you to pick any size between 100% and 200%, yes that includes 137% or 184%.
Case in point: Mozilla optimized Firefox for rMBP; but did not optimized it for the 200%, or the same setting, on the Windows front.
Notice that Mozilla has built in 1.25 and 1.5 scaling where idealistically they should make Firefox independent of the scaling scale in Windows. Reply
mrdude - Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - linkOh yea, these panels are going to be a huge headache for a good chunk of users.
Windows DPI scaling isn't going to be "fixed" unless Windows dumps legacy altogether and alters their approach to Metro. I've personally tried out my productivity software on the 1080p Zenbook when contemplating a purchase and quickly found it to be absolutely abysmal as far as text and scaling were concerned. The idea of getting a great display with lots of pixels to play with quickly took a backseat to "Oh god, please just let it work." As much as I'd love to see the move away from the default crappy 1366x768 panels, I'm also well aware of the troubles the await.
I'm not even sure MS can get it right with Metro given that their Win8 scaling hasn't improved at all. In fact, IE Metro still can't scale properly and issues come up when browsing certain sites. If they can't even get their own software to work properly then there's no hope that the rest are going to follow suit. Reply
JNo - Monday, January 14, 2013 - linkBah.... PCs finally catch up with apple in resolution and it's bloomin' 16:9 instead of 16:10...
If someone actually made a 4:3 laptop nowadays, I think I might actually buy it (cos I don't care for films on laptops anyway) Reply
ShieTar - Tuesday, January 15, 2013 - linkI don't care about films either, but 16:9 gives you the option to include a numpad on your 15" Notebook. With 4:3 screens, you needed at least 17" screens to get enough keyboard real estate.
As far as work goes, luckily most modern software allows you to move all your menus/ribbons from the top to the side of the window, leaving you with a more square working area. Due to this, I am no longer as unhappy about 16:10 or 16:9 screens for work as I used to be when they first started showing up. Reply
Sabresiberian - Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - linkAbsolutely!
16:9 is terrible on a 15" display. (I think it's terrible on anything less than 27", and not great there, even for a 2560x1440 monitor). Reply
tipoo - Wednesday, January 16, 2013 - linkI've seen Windows DPI scaling break a few applications, I like to leave it at 100%. With that, things on my 1920x1080 15 inch laptop display are to a point where they are just big enough. With a resolution this large, you'd have to go to one of the scaled settings (125% or 150%) to be comfortable, which may lead to some incompatibilities. How are they going to deal with this? On the Macbooks they just used pixel doubling since it was an exact doubling of resolution in each dimension, but with Windows there are multiple resolutions to support. How will this work? Reply
nleksan - Thursday, February 07, 2013 - linkI admit I don't understand why all these ultra-awesome displays are only heading into laptops??
It's not like you can stick 4x GTX680's in a 15" notebook, or a pair of K20 Tesla compute cards, or whatever...
Seriously... ~215ppi for what?
Why not make the same display, only offer it in ~24-27" monitors. Give us the 138-122ppi, make it IPS (AH-IPS), and make it affordable...
What doesn't make sense to me is why the GPU companies are not more heavily influencing panel production... It would be in their best interest to make displays that are hard to push, then they can come out with their "GeForce Titan" cards and give us the solution. They get money, we get happy. Reply

Mark Carney's announcements today about the UK housing market represent the first blast from a major country of a new policy weapon that is increasingly available to the global central banks, a weapon known as macro prudential regulation. Because this weapon is seen as an alternative to raising short rates, not as a prelude to raising them, the Carney intervention should logically under-pin the lower-for-longer path for short rates discussed in his evidence to the Treasury Select Committee earlier this week. Mr Carney has turned more hawkish today, but not more hawkish about interest rates or sterling.
The Carney announcement will represent an important restraint on the UK housing market, which was showing distinct signs of getting too ebullient in the south east of the country. By acting early, and using methods that are distinct from the short term interest rate, this action may well make the economic recovery in the UK more durable than otherwise, though it may slow down some parts of the consumer sector in the immediate future.

Topic: Peter Lodge?
Hi all,
Well, we're currently in the process of getting a second opinion for my mum. She has intrahepatic CC, and we're just at the beginning of our journey.
We are planning on getting an appointment with Peter Lodge in Leeds, UK as we've heard some good things about him and that sometimes he operates on tumours that have been deemed inoperable elsewhere - as my mum's has!
I was just wondering if anyone has any personal experience of seeing Peter or having treatment with him? I'd be really grateful to hear any stories, good or bad!
Thanks a lot,

Robert Pattinson landed in LA last night after catching a flight out of NYC. It was a short stay for Rob, who left California Sunday. While Robert was on the East Coast, his girlfriend was still in California prepping for her next big role. Kristen will return to the Snow White franchise, since it was confirmed last week that she'll star in the sequel, which is expected in theaters in 2015. Kristen will also make her own trip to NYC very soon, as she is slated to appear at the 2013 Met Gala on May 6.

HOUSTON - The city of Houston's Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care needs your help. A dog ran away and hasn't been seen for three days.
The 2-year-old possible Chow mix has severe mange, and now BARC officials and animal control officers are desperately trying to find her and give her the medical attention she needs.
"It's very unfortunate," said Carlene Lormand, BARC marketing and outreach manager. "This has never happened before."
The dog was first rescued in south Houston, wandering the streets when BARC took her in. A rescue group was then going to take her, loading her into their van early in the morning before business hours, when the dog bolted out of the open back gate.
Animal control officers have been looking for the missing dog every day since she escaped.
Anyone who has information or if has seen the dog is asked to call BARC at 713-229-7300 or 311. Officials said people should not try to capture the dog.
People can also check out the progress of the search on BARC's Facebook page at Facebook.com/BARCHouston.

Hungary Walks Tightrope on Corporate Taxes
Hungary's corporate tax policy remains a source of instability for companies doing business here. Hungary imposed extraordinary taxes unexpectedly and retroactively last year, hitting large firms in selected sectors. The government delivered them another blow last week by announcing it won't cut the corporate tax rate, contrary to earlier plans.
Hungary had mulled cutting the corporate tax rate to 10% from the current 19% as of Jan. 1 2013 for companies with annual revenue above 500 million forints ($2.7 million). The government already cut the rate to 10%, effective this year, for smaller firms whose annual revenue is below this amount.

Master of Sacred Theology (STM) Advising
The Advising Center wants to help you make informed decisions as you progress toward graduation. STM students often ask four questions:
- 1. How many years can I take to complete the STM?
Students must finish all requirements for the STM within 6 years of the time they start their first course. Crafting a precise plan is very important.
- 2. How do I remove the STM Advising Hold on my account?
In order to register for classes, you must submit a faculty approved degree completion plan to the Advising Center for review and approval. Create a completion plan using the STM Degree Worksheet to the right. Pay special attention to the course prerequisites noted on the worksheet.
Students who have had Hebrew or Greek at the MDiv level will need to pass a Hebrew or Greek proficiency exam before enrolling in OT103 or NT103. Failure to pass the exams will require the student to enroll in first-year language courses. Prerequisite courses in Hebrew or Greek, if required, will not count toward the 32-hour requirement for the STM degree.
Once the STM Advising Hold has been removed, email the Registrar's Office with your course selections during the open registration period in order to be enrolled in courses. Be sure to include your name, student ID number, and the session and section for which you are requesting registration in all communications with the Registrar's Office.
- 3. How do I qualify for advanced placement in Greek, Hebrew?
STM students are expected to demonstrate introductory proficiency in Hebrew, Greek, and Expository Preaching prior to beginning their program at Dallas Seminary. Each academic department administers a proficiency assessment which requires students to demonstrate competencies necessary to advance in a particular sequence of courses.
Using the Proficiency Exam Form to the right, STM students should participate in examinations for NT103 and OT102. The form should be filled out completely and given to the academic department which oversees the course in question. Each department will schedule the time and format of the examinations.
Greek Hebrew Expository Preaching Prerequisite
Do not satisfy degree requirements
PM103 Required NT104 OT103 Advanced Homiletics – PM104 or Above Required for DTS PhD Program NT105 OT104
- 4. How do I select my thesis subject and major electives?
STM students should select their major elective courses in conversation with their major department. Professors in each academic department are best equipped to advise students regarding courses geared toward each student's desired ministry context. Please contact the Administrative Coordinator for your major department to request a meeting with a professor.
Thesis subject selection should also take place in conversation with a student's major department. Using the Thesis Subject Approval Form to the right, students should select a thesis subject and two readers. Students should confer with their major department regarding thesis topic approval deadlines, and should select their thesis topic during their first semester at DTS.
This page provides basic information. Academic Advisors are happy to come alongside you as you journey with the Lord. Schedule an advising appointment today!

melgross - Friday, July 18, 2014 - linkOf course, the biggest one isn't listed. Reply
BPM - Friday, July 18, 2014 - linkAnd I wonder why???? Reply
GC2:CS - Saturday, July 19, 2014 - linkBecause knowing Apple the G6430 has been modified and tweaked, possibly significally, so it just listed as "A7 GPU" everywhere. And thinking about that we don't even know if it is derived from the G6430 anyway, it just a good guess based out of a die shot, where we saw some logic replicated 4 times (G6400/G6430) and assuming Apple prefers strong GPU's so they chosen G6430 (improved G6400). Taking into consideration that A7 are getting around 13 fps in Manhattan and Allwinner Ultra octa with G6230 is getting 10,8 and 6430 is supposed to be 2x as fast things are getting blurry. Reply
lucam - Saturday, July 19, 2014 - linkYou are absolutely right. Apple call his GPU A7, and Imagination Tech never confirmed whether it was the g6430 inside it. Anand did a great job analysing this GPU, but it could be even another version of PowerVR series 6. Reply
przemo_li - Monday, July 21, 2014 - linkIntel Atoms are more for historical reference here.
Imagination Technologies ***** balls with Intel mobile strategy ("open source drivers!!!").
Intel is happily switching for their in house iGPUs. Reply
gijames1225 - Monday, July 28, 2014 - linkAnd thank god for it. I never understood why the sourced such a weak GPU from Imagination and crippled the SOC when they could have just chosen a better GPU. Reply

Hundreds of churchgoers took to Epsom's streets on Good Friday as part of a rowdy re-enactment of Jesus's trial, crucifixion and resurrection.
To shouts of "crucify him, crucify him", Jesus was roped to a cross and followed from Dulshot Green and along the high street to the place of execution execution in the Market Square.
Rev Sue Curtis, chair of Churches Together in Epsom planned, produced and directed the event called the Walk of Witness.
She said: "The spectators became the crowd, not a polite Epsom group, but a mob who wanted Jesus' blood.
"They called for crucifixion as a response to statements of Jesus that showed a bias to the poor and called for sacrifice.
"Mary Magdalene's song written by Lloyd Weber I don't know how to love him summed up the tenuous hope that those who knew him must have felt when they learned of the resurrection."
The performance also included music from Song Squad, a youth choir from Christ Church in Epsom Common.
Jesus was played by Christ Church curate Rev Julian McAllen.
Father Simon Hall, assistant priest at St Joseph's Church, said the format had changed over the last few years and become more dramatised, attracting more people.
He added: "I have come to pray, support and to witness this wonderful day in which we celebrate the death of our Saviour who gave his life for humanity.
"Easter reminds people that God exists, God loves them and today, Good Friday, reminds them that God does care.
"Whatever sufferings people have, whatever they carry in their hearts, on their shoulders, in their families, this is to remind them that God cares."
Craig Donovan, who played Judas, said the presentation was "more dynamic" than in previous years.
He said: "There were some new scenes and we extended certain bits.
"Hopefully everyone enjoyed themselves. It was a different experience."
Rosalind Lawrence, parochial church council member at St Barnabas, said: "It really gave you a good feel. There were more people here today - it was even better than last year.
"You get to know people from the churches.
"It was nice to see all the children getting involved. I think that made it better."
Sandra O'Shea, who was with her son Dante, 7, said she felt very much a part of the event.
"It was lovely, it was fantastic," she said. "We participated. It was nice to be included."
Rev Curtis said afterwards: "I think it all went very well.
"We were delighted that a large number of people were able to share in the drama and that it was a good deal warmer than the freezing conditions experienced for last year's gathering.
"This has been a team effort dependent on actors, musicians, technicians and crew working together."
Sound and staging equipment were supplied by Rosebery School and costumes from Carshalton Pantomine Company and Lantern Arts.
Hot cross buns were supplied by Epsom Methodist Church.

Naef Holz Kollektion: Naef Toys Architect Wood Collection
My head just exploded by my excitement over this "toy". More like a learning tool. I've had a recent compulsion to learn how to identify trees. It grew out of a disappointment that I live on a block with trees, I see them every day and have no idea what the are. I've got pine tree down, but that's it. Oh, and palm tree...easy. Plus, as an artist, when I go to get work framed I'm completely ignorant of which wood to use. Each block is made of a different wood and on each block is a picture and the name of the type of tree it came from.... in English, French AND German! Brilliant!

Stone Padlocks
are back and
Atomic Athletic
has them!
The Monks of the Shaolin temple have been training with stone padlocks since the Han Dynasty, over 1500 years ago. These stone weights are called padlocks, or locks, as they resemble traditional Chinese padlocks.
Stone Padlocks can be used for a variety of upper body exercises and will provide forearm development like you won't believe.
The 25 Pound Stone Padlocks are great for a number of upper body movements and can take basic exercises like curls and presses and make them extra brutal. No other implement stresses the wrists and forearms as effectively during these movements.
The Shaolin Monks perform a variety of exercises with stone padlocks and showed Roger a number of them when he recently visited the overseas headquarters of the Shaolin Temple. The smaller sized Padlocks are used for dynamic movements in striking and form work. All sizes are great for explosive lifting, not unlike Olympic style weightlifting. They favor a snatch - type movement with the heavier padlocks. These weights are used for hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of movements per day by Monks in training.
Stone Padlock exercises produce phenomenal upper body conditioning, a grip of steel and a training edge that made the Shaolin Monks some of the fiercest fighters that the world has ever known.
Our padlocks are actually used in the Shaolin Overseas Headquarters!
Exercises with these implements spread to a number of regions and are thought to be the inspiration for many kettlebell training ideas that have surfaced in recent history.
Get stone padlocks and start training like the Shaolin Monks!
Catching the padlock with the fists and elbows is a great way of training for balance, dexterity and strength. In the video below the two men show some amazing skills...
(From Left to Right) Retro Granite Padlock, Classic Granite Padlock, Jade Padlock
These implements are hand carved out of granite and made to the exact specifications that Shaolin Monks have been using for centuries. Exercises with these implements spread to a number of regions and are thought to be the inspiration for many kettlebell training ideas that have surfaced in recent history.

>General Running>I've Lost That Loving Feeling...?
Well at least someone here is making relevance to the subject. - S.J.
Queen of 3rd Place
Well, remember one thing: it's supposed to be fun. Or maybe that's "fun". Or at least mostly-wise.
Speaking of which, here's a fun thread, recounting experiences of fellow undertrained marathoners:
Ex runner
Just so you know, Ilene, I posed my question from a state that purportedly has no function other than to host I-80, so people can drive from OH to CA.
Yep, thats the concensus
The pain that hurts the worse is the imagined pain. One of the most difficult arts of racing is learning to ignore the imagined pain and just live with the present pain (which is always bearable.) - Jeff
2014 Goals:
Stay healthy
Enjoy life
{{{Led lincoln's landlocked backwater in flyover land}}}
Running is stupid
{{{Led lincoln's landlocked backwater in flyover land}}}
So it seems the unofficial consensus is somewhere in between an enthusiastic, but cautionary "take it easy and try to finish just enjoying it!" and a hysterical, all-knowing-I've-been-there-before "don't run it, you're going to hurt yourself, and no one wants that, especially you!". Haha.
I think I'm still gong to go for it (I'm an Aires and my mind is made up). I am heeding everyone's advice though, and grant you all full permission for a "told you so" should (running God's forbid) this turn out to be a bad race for me.
I'm dumb (for lack of a better word) enough to go for it, but I know I'm not dumb enough to try and keep going if I hurt myself or feel unsafe continuing the run on the day of the event.
After thinking about it all, hearing everyone's advice, opinion, experiences, etc. I've concluded to myself: it's not my first marathon, so not finishing or breaking a record isn't the end of the world if that's what happens. But not even trying would feel far worse to me than at least giving it my best and seeing where my best takes me!
Thanks again to everyone for the support and advice, it is great to hear! I will by all means come back with bells on with a post-race update!!!
2012: Just run.
PPS: Your back and forth banter all got my technical wheels turning here and I looked back at my last two marathons and my preparation for them both, curious to myself, "Exactly HOW unprepared am I for this thing in Portland??!"
My first marathon, my longest run in training was 18.5 and I never logged a week of miles that went above 21 or 22 miles. (I will add that I induced Achilles tendonitis - during that training, not during my marathon - and stupidly ran the marathon WITH it...was off my feet and in PT for about 3-4 months after, so I am now familiar with an injury and what NOT to do with one - happy to report the tendon has been absolutely fabulous this entire summer - please, reserve the jokes about it being because I've barely been running, LOL).
My longest run for my second marathon was 21 and I never logged a week during training for that one that went above 25 miles...I actually finished my second race slower than my first (the temps hit high 80's that day - 10/10/2010, one of the hottest on record) but was injury free. Didn't feel any easier, even without the throbbing tendon!
On average, in training for both races, I would do one long run a week (whether it be a step up or step down long run) paired with one shorter run, or two (on a good week).
***On a side note, I am a retail pharmacist and I work a schedule that rotates on a biweekly cycle. This means, one week (such as the week we just finished) I work 4 days (and those are 8-8 days, not 9-5's) and the alternate week, I work 3 days. This complicates any training plan, and to add insult to injury, I work every other weekend, Friday through Sunday, which means I lose two weekends a month and have no regularity to when I schedule long runs. I've thought numerous times about developing a "Marathon Training for the Retail Pharmacist" plan, also given that I don't get lunch breaks and most days of the week, my 10 minute hiatus from the bench is to wholly swallow a frozen Lean Cuisine entree. Sounds like I need a new job, not a new training plan! Ha, but I do love it. Anyways, now I'm just making excuses. But I feel I do need to defend myself and my sloppy training to a degree.***
Given my individual history, how unprepared (compared to myself) do I now seem for this race?
Again, my entire post was more about my mental fortitude than lack of physical ability, however, you've all shifted my gears now!
I just can't help but ask, since I know everyone is different and we all prepare differently, I am curious if my background changes any of the cautionary posters' opinions or advice at all?
Anyways, now I'm just trying to convince myself that I'm not THAT underprepared and that it'll be okay...ha.
Thanks again!
You remind me of a student who gets a D and says, "I didn't study." At least you'll probably complete the course.
That did happen to me.
So, how many of you folks have had "Lovin' Feeling" running through your head for the last week? Thanks a lot, April!
Don't know about the song, but I kept thinking if I really ever loved running during my 12 miles yesterday. The weather was perfect on a nice course, except that my legs did not get the memo.
Fight The Future
one of the great things about the internet is you get more opinions from random strangers that you ever expected (or usually wanted!). I can't resist now putting in my own two likely irrelevant cents.
Not to be AT ALL critical, April, but your summary of your previous and current marathon training looks to me like long distance running is just not all that enjoyable for you. I agree you lead a busy life, but in truth, the majority of us here do also, and we manage to get in the runs - because we love to run! I often have 7:00 (or even sometimes 6 AM) meetings on days when my schedule calls for a 12 mile run. So I get up at 4 or earlier, to do the run. Perhaps sadly, running outside in the cold at 4:30 in the morning is often the high point of my day.
There is nothing wrong with not wanting to run long distances (it is actually a sign of intelligence), but I don't see the attraction then of running marathons. Why force yourself to do something that just isn't fun? If I were you, I'd bag the race, get back as much $ as you can on hotels, etc, and develop the next great hobby. There are lots of fun things to do in life!
I think a lot of us are eagerly awaiting your report. I kind of hope you and several of us are wrong, and you have a great race and realize you love marathons. OTOH, if it's your farewell marathon, it's also a good thing, because you'll have a much better idea where you want to focus in the future. In any case, best of luck!
