More than 8,000 businesses in the UK provide jobs for about 120,000 people in the childcare sector. The field generates about £3 billion in annual revenue. Though many in the industry are self-employed and work from home, Child Care recruitment agencies are always seeking to fill positions in special needs care, and there is a regular demand for nursery nurses and their assistants.
For many positions in the sector, especially entry-level roles, there are no mandatory qualifications or requirements. Ideal candidates for employment, however, need to be patient, warm, enthusiastic, and eager to learn. On the other hand, child-minders hoping to open an in-home nursery will need a Level 3 NVQ in Childcare or a CACHE diploma. Self-employed childcare professions are also required by law to attain certificates in food hygiene, paediatric first aid, and to register with NNEB or Ofsted.
Although many men do work in the field, childcare professionals are predominantly female, and most are mothers. A high percentage of positions involve long hours and relatively low pay, but average salaries tend to vary widely by region. At present, Cheshire County is one of the highest paying regions in the UK.

At the Worcester Museum (previously known as Kleinplasie Living Museum) the history of a more rural way of life and the agriculture that is the lifeblood of this part of the world comes alive through the demonstrations of age-old techniques to provide for the basics in life.
Each building represents a particular agricultural sector in the Western Cape during the period between 1690 and 1900, and a variety of home industries and agricultural practices are demonstrated to the public in and around these buildings, using the same methods and equipment employed by the early farmers.
The staff dress in period costume, so you'll truly feel like you're in another epoch, and activities such as bread baking are on show daily along with candle making, milking and tobacco rolling.
Visitors can watch skilled blacksmiths, cart wrights, cheese makers and see how witblitz (a potent traditional form of alcohol) is distilled. Seasonally it is possible to watch grape harvesting, sheep shearing, and medicinal veld plants being collected.
Train and donkey cart rides, a plant nursery, a Victorian house museum, restaurant, and tea room with traditional sweet treats like melktert and koeksusters round off the experience. It's an ideal family outing that's so much fun the kids won't even notice it is history.
For steam engine enthusiasts, there's also a section of the museum called the Locomotive Area.

Topic: "Teddy" UPDATE
This last Tuesday Teddy had his latest stent exchange for the right ureter which has been damaged by the cancer and scar tissue. As of a week ago they approved a new metal ureter stent versus the plastic. The plastic J stent had to be replaced every 3 - 4 months due to "nasties" clogging it. The metal stent only has to be exchanged 6 months - 12. Right now he is having some discomfort and I am sure its due to the metal. If not better by Monday I will call the doc. In the meantime the radiologist has set up the next PET Scan (follow up from the cyber knife) for June 16th. I don't know if it is Teddy's age (76) or still all he has gone through or finally being retired and bored but he is so tired all the time. And you know, then we start thinking! He has developed 3 hernias from scar tissue and surgery in his stomach. All doctors agree to just leave them. I don't know that he could take anymore surgery on his poor tummy. OK thanks, it was my turn to vent a little. Hope everyone is having a splendid weekend. I know you must laugh at my medical terms.

Just watched Sumbmarine, it was quite good and had a good soundtrack.
Printable View
Just watched Sumbmarine, it was quite good and had a good soundtrack.
Seems interesting alright, I'll have a look for it... Tom Hanks though. I really hate Tom Hanks.
Just watched Children of Men. Amazing film, one of the few which has managed to use "shakycam" well. Its also one of the most atmospheric and well realised dystopic scenarios I've ever come across in a film.
Just watched Source Code, Duncan Jones is definitely on my To watch whatever he makes despite not knowing what the hell its about just because he's a really good Director List along with Guillmo Del Toro and David Fincher. This was a really good movie i have to say, nice little sci-fi in it, it definitely grabs your attention and never lets go it has a lot of philosophical and touching moments and to be honest I didn't mind the kind of schmultzy ending because i thought it deserved it. Also it was a films based around smarts and a very old conceit of a bomb being on a train and trying to stop another one with a modern twist. The ending could have a dark edge to it, if you think about it it does but to be honest the happy ending is about right as well. So yeah definitly recommend it, and can't wait till whatever this Director does next.
I recently bought the first three Pirates of the Caribbeans movies on Blu-Ray.
The films are still very entertaining, but what pleasantly surprised me is the quality of the bonus materials. It's not just some promotional featurettes slapped on the disc like we see with too many films, but hours of backstage sequences that show to ups and downs of the production. It's not quite as exhaustive as the LotR bonuses but it's the closest I've seen in a long time.
Just finished watching 9 again the other night. I have it on blu-ray and it's beautiful, I love good animation. The environment was really well done, a devastated world, the graveyard of Man. I think my two animated favorites are this film and The Incredibles.
There is also an old french film, Fantastic Planet, 1972 (the french title was La Planete Sauvage), that I'd like to obtain a copy of.
Attachment 97
EDIT: Me and a friend just finished watching the dvd of Battle for Los Angeles. I really don't understand why the critics panned it so bad, it was a great movie. Visceral and exciting, well paced, good character acting and arc, gritty. The special effects were -very- realistic, unlike what many critics said. They don't know what they're talking about, I highly recommend this movie.
Recently I have watched 'The Transcendent Man', 'Gods of Men' and 'The Illusionist'. I recommend all three of them.
I found 'The Transcendent Man' very interesting and entertaining, yet scary. If you're a fan of SciFi and technology, it's a must. 'Gods of Men' was a bleak movie, but it was shot well, the acting was great and the story was riveting (It's also a true story). I was totally surprised by the Illusionist though. I thought I'd watch it after 'Gods of Men' to cheer me up, but as brilliant as it was, it was pretty damn depressing. The animation in that movie was superb.
Next on my list is 'Hobo with a Shotgun'.
The Terminator was just on, so that's what I've just watched. It's brilliant as ever, even with the dodgy special effects. I'm also just about to order Tangled from Amazon.
I didn't like children of men at all, please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Robot Jox. It's only worth a rental as the only parts you won't be fast forwarding through are the stop motion robot fight scenes and even those aren't as hot as the trailer would have you believe. Mostly they just stand still whilst they shoot at each other and then it's a round of boxing. Maybe if the wafer-thin romantic sub-plot was cut out and it focused entirely on the rivalry between the two leads and the other sub-plot about match fixing it would have been better. I'd still like to see the two unofficial sequels Crash and Burn and Robot Wars though.
Zodiac was on Last night so i watched that again, I still think this is a really good and interesting movie. It is a bit long but to be honest to get everything in that it had to it had to be really. Its very interesting and it does keep you on the edge of your seat, there are definitely some disturbing bits in it. All in all I really recommend this film.
I just watched The Ghost (The Ghost Writer if you're in America), it was really good. It's a thriller based on the Robert Harris book from a few years ago, directed by Roman Polanski. Ewan McGregor gets hired to be Not Tony Blair's ghostwriter while a war crimes investigation is taking place. A moodily-shot and set, tense, really well acted film. I recommend it.
Spoilery stuff: The Alliance authorises a project to make the entire population calm and obedient by use of drugs. The Alliance then covers up the horrible results of that project and leave the Reavers produced from it to rape the people of the outlying planets to death. The Alliance also authorises agents to kill everyone involved in, or even aware of, events such as the above. Those events are horrifying enough that even one of those agents becomes disillusioned with them. To be fair, many such things have been claimed about the United States government, but importantly they haven't actually done them. As I say, these events are all in Serenity, the Alliance in Firefly is pretty much as you describe.
This is all classic fear of socialism and the state stuff. And underlying it all is the dichotomy between the view of human nature as fixed and immutable - the Christian view of man as inherently sinful - as espoused by Mal on more than one occasion, and the humanist, progressivist view of man - in short, the view held by meddlers of all kinds - as if not perfectible, then improvable.
The Alliance and the Reavers sounds pretty much like the history of the United States in kindling the flames of Islamic fundamentalism which it is now trying to stamp out, except that the Alliance had rather nobler intent than merely opposing communism and the nationalisation of the oil fields in the region. And of course the history of the US government experimenting on its own citizens and those of other nations is well documented.Quote:

Those events are horrifying enough that even one of those agents becomes disillusioned with them. To be fair, many such things have been claimed about the United States government, but importantly they haven't actually done them.
In any case one could've as easily used the United Kingdom as an example, except that Firefly is an American show deeply stepped in American values and symbols. The old west as the last frontier of the rugged individualist and so on. So: US it is.
The Western genre is steeped in the ideas of rebellion against the state. I have never enjoyed the genre, in part for that reason. Firefly and Serenity is the first time I have ever enjoyed a Western and the reason is because the Alliance are horrifying and the Firefly crew are not. A pair of them are hiding from abuses by the Alliance, the rest are there for travel, survival, or getting rich but even then they do not take from those that have more need than they do. As Mal says: "May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."
And with regard to the link you posted: Most of those studies are not by the US Government, instead it's a list of horrors that happened on US soil. Those that were by the government (e.g. Tuskegee) were apologised for, and more importantly caused enquiries, guidelines, laws and ethical bodies to be created that prevent those in the future. In Serenity, the Alliance makes no such attempt to fix the problems that they have caused.
The Operative naturally had a particular view of the universe his service was aiding to create and what he discovered (rather, was forced to see) didn't match up with that. An interesting question is what the Operative would've thought had the experiment been successful.Quote:
As I said, by the end of the film even that Operative has become disillusioned with the methods of his own government.
And what do you think will happen now in the post-Serenity world? The people aren't going to stage a Death Star trench run against an Emperor cackling on his throne, the vast majority of what constitutes 'the Alliance' didn't know about this.Quote:
Those that were by the government (e.g. Tuskegee) were apologised for, and more importantly caused enquiries, guidelines, laws and ethical bodies to be created that prevent those in the future.
We've no indication that the Alliance simply leaves the Reavers to run amok. On the other hand, we've plenty of indications throughout the series and film that the Alliance simply isn't strong enough to maintain effective presence outside the core worlds. After all, that's how Mal is able to operate in the first place.Quote:
In Serenity, the Alliance makes no such attempt to fix the problems that they have caused.
It is possible, given what happens in Serenity, that River was being trained to wipe out the Reavers (presumably not on her own), however I'm not sure that kidnapping and abusing a young girl is a worthwhile price for that end when a fleet of trained volunteer personnel was available.
Regardless, none of this excuses human experimentation on a planet-wide scale (there were 30 million people on Miranda. Even the very worst abuses of medical and psychological experimentation in history have not spread that far) and, of course, this is a universe that has already had the opportunity to learn from the mistakes that were made in the real world. I do not think that the Alliance's actions here can be at all justified.

Meatless Monday is a global movement, a way of life. It's not a campaign to turn everyone in the world vegetarian or vegan; in fact, many involved are meat-lovers. Eating less meat has been proven to reduce the risk of disease, curb obesity and has important environmental impacts, too. Will you join us in giving up meat, just for one day a week?
My current food obsession: cauliflower. It seems random, and maybe a little boring — it's the least colorful vegetable out there. But what it lacks in vibrancy, it makes up for with versatility. Cauliflower totally transforms into something new depending on how you cook it. Steam and puree it and it becomes so silky, you'll swear there's cream in it. Add the pureed cauliflower to soups, mashed potatoes or macaroni and cheese to thicken them and add flavor and creaminess without dairy. Bake it with cheese and cream for a hearty gratin that'll trump any potato casserole you've ever had. You can pickle cauliflower and add it to salads, appetizer platters or sandwiches — it's especially good on falafel. Deep fry cauliflower and eat it as a snack, like popcorn, or toss the crispy, fried florets into a salad. Roast it — on its own or with other vegetables, like carrots — till it's golden brown and tender and serve it as a side dish or add it to pasta to make a complete meal.
I like to roast two large heads of cauliflower and eat some for dinner with pasta, and use the leftovers the next day in a frittata or omelet, with some Gruyere, sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese. Leftover roasted cauliflower is also pretty great on a pita with some hummus.
Roger Mooking's Roasted Cauliflower
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon cumin seeds, coarsely ground in a mortar and pestle
1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter, quartered
1/4 cup panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a bowl, toss the oil, garlic, cumin, cauliflower and toss to incorporate. Adjust the seasonings with salt and black pepper. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish, and dollop the top with little pats of the butter. Sprinkle the panko bread crumbs over the cauliflower. Roast the baking dish in the oven for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, or until the cauliflower is golden brown, and tender.

Today, J9 is interviewing author Josh Lanyon.
Welcome to The Book Vixen Josh!
J9: Thanks for being our guest here at The Book Vixen. I've greatly enjoyed reading the Dangerous Ground series and gobbled them up like chocolates. I love both characters and the great suspenseful storytelling. I highly recommend this series to MM readers. So welcome!
Josh Lanyon: Thank you for having me here at The Book Vixen! This is a treat.
J9: First, tell us about yourself. Did you always want to be a writer and when did you start writing? What was the first thing you had published?
Josh Lanyon: I did, yes. From the time I was in grade school I knew I would be a writer. I wrote constantly. When I wasn't reading, I was writing. In junior high and high school, I would sit in the back of most of my classes and scribble stories. The very first thing I had published were poems. The first novel I had published was Fatal Shadows through the Gay Men's Press.
J9: Did you know when you wrote book one Dangerous Ground that Will and Taylor's romance would be a series?
Josh Lanyon: I knew it could be. But I left the final decision up to readers. It's probably the only time I've done that, but because the stories are more episodic than most of my series work, I needed to know that readers found the characters and their relationship sufficiently engaging.
J9: What kind of research have you had to do for the novellas in this series?
Josh Lanyon: Dead Run required the most research because it's set in Paris and it deals with terrorism and art theft. There was a lot of browsing maps and talking to readers and gearing up on art history and terrorism in the 70s. The other DG stories were pretty routine. There's always a certain amount of research involved, but the stories themselves are generally simple and straightforward.
J9: I know this is like asking a parent to choose a favorite child, but do you have a favorite novella in this series?
Josh Lanyon: I like Blood Heat best. It's just one danged thing after another, as Mark Twain used to say. And I think it also has some of the funniest lines and comical moments in the series. And of course readers just didn't see the ending coming.
J9: I'm sure you've heard the comparison of this series to the Cut & Run series by Abigail Roux and Madeleine Urban. Have you read that series? If so, what did you think?
Josh Lanyon: I read the first one and promptly searched for the copyright date. :-D No, seriously, I thought there were some superficial similarities, but to me the characters and the way they were going to grow and the way their relationships were going to evolve was going to be very different. Not to mention the fact that the FBI and the DDS have very different roles and responsibilities. Now maybe I'm wrong and they didn't turn out to be that different. I do know I have readers who enjoy the C&R series a lot.
J9: I see from your website you're planning to write book five in the series. Can you tell me, I mean us, when that may be?
Josh Lanyon: Kick Start is planned for October 2013. I'm waiting for the final DG story to time out with the publisher before I resume work again on the series.
J9: Do you have an idea how many novellas will be in this series?
Josh Lanyon: It'll either be 5 or 8. I haven't made up my mind. Most of the big remaining questions between Will and Taylor will be answered by Kick Start. So then it just comes down to how much readers are enjoying watching Will and Taylor interact. I think the episodic nature of the stories works well as far as that kind of thing goes. It's easy to pick up again without feeling like you've lost your place.
J9: Would you like to share any other projects with us?
Josh Lanyon: Thanks for asking! I'm currently working on an experimental project. I had a number of titles picked up by a Japanese publisher for translation, so I decided to support that effort and reach out to some of those Asian readers with a yaoi-hybrid novella. It's called Blood Red Butterfly and it's about a cop who falls in love with an American manga artist who happens to be supplying an alibi to the cop's prime suspect in a murder investigation. It's a nutty little story, I freely admit. But hopefully fun. BRB is coming out some time this November.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 5/9/2012 (1813 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg Blue Bombers GM Joe Mack finally faced the music Thursday, opening his set with a message to the frustrated football fans.
"I understand that you're disappointed -- so am I, and um… frustrated, so am I," Mack told a large media gathering at the Blue and Gold club.
"That's not something I can control, and I really don't worry about that to be honest with you."
Thursday's press conference was the first time Mack addressed the media since his club lost 52-0 to the Saskatchewan Roughriders in the Labour Day Classic last Sunday. It was the fourth-worst defeat in franchise history and the second time the Bombers lost by 30-plus points this season. It was also the first time the Bombers had been shut out since 1969.
Mack has been under heavy fire over the last two weeks, a heat that traces back to the firing of former head coach Paul LaPolice. While the move to dismiss LaPolice can be justified (he shared the same overall record as Mack), the timing of the decision came under severe scrutiny, as the Bombers were playing their best football after a slow start to the summer.
LaPolice was fired and replaced by defensive co-ordinator Tim Burke Aug. 25 after the club nearly beat the defending Grey Cup champion B.C. Lions, losing that game on a last-second field goal by Lions kicker Paul McCallum.
"I don't know if that says anything about my command of the situation," said Mack when asked what the results of the move – a coaching change designed to get the players' attention – says about the respect level for him inside the locker room.
Mack talked about how well the Bombers played before LaPolice's firing, but then was tripped up when asked why he made the move to change coaches if the club had appeared to turn the corner. "I don't think it's constructive to revisit why that decision was made," he said, deflecting the subject.
Mack, who is already the target of a Facebook petition page called "Fire Joe Mack" (the page had over 4,200 "likes" Thursday morning) and a similarly named Twitter feed, has a regular season record of 16-29 in his two-plus seasons in Winnipeg.
His team missed the playoffs in 2010, only to bounce back and be a Grey Cup finalist in 2011. Things were believed to be looking up, but after an inactive free agency period and some questionable personnel moves that saw the club get rid of experienced talent, things have gone south in 2012.
"I'm the general manager, it's going to fall on me," he said. "If we don't get better, obviously the (board of directors) will have to make some decisions. I'm the general manager, so I have to take responsibility for it."
The GM drifted in and out of damage control mode Thursday, praising his bosses (the board), complimenting the fans for their patience, and pointing to the positive things that have occurred (East Division title, sellouts, organizational profits) since taking over in 2010. He mentioned the Bombers' youth and talent several times in the 22-minute press conference, defending his roster moves and draft choices. Mack said something was missing in his club during training camp, but couldn't get specific when asked what he did to rectify that feeling he had.
"That's an organic thing," he said, telling the room he hoped the missing ingredient would evolve on its own. "I don't know if much could have been done, to be honest. It's just the dynamic of the whole group of players evolving."
Mack referenced last year's death of Richard Harris, believing there was still some hangover from that emotional time during his tenure with the club -- the same team that made it all the way to the Grey Cup a year ago.
"We've had a fairly rough year for the psyche of the team. I think it started with the death of Richard Harris. I knew that would have a big impact on our players. As I reflect back on a number of different things that occurred, I think it had a much bigger impact on the psyche of the team than I even realized."
Mack believed the LDC was "cathartic" for his team, and hoped the players would be able to turn the page on the last year within the organization moving forward.
With nine games left, Winnipeg has just two wins in nine games and is facing a tough road to even qualify for the post season once again.
Should the Bombers fail to qualify, it would mark the third time in four seasons the club has missed the playoffs.
Does this team have to make the playoffs for Mack to save his job?
"That's beyond my control," he said. "I really think everybody should have every confidence that this board will do whatever they think is necessary for the betterment of the club. They are very, very passionate about this team.
"They'll take a distinctive overview of what's best for the club."
The Bombers next see action Sunday, when they welcome the Roughriders (4-6) in the annual Banjo Bowl at Canad Inns Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for noon (TSN, CJOB).

Topic: What can we expect?
Our 93 year old mother was dx with chlangiocarcinoma in Nov 2007. Bilirubin was 12 and they couldn't pass tube to open bile duct. Had to put a tube through the side. Has had tube exchanges every 8 weeks since then. No chemo or radiation because bile duct brushing was not successful. She probably would not have chosen this route anyway because doctors said maybe would only give her a week or so extra life. Had another MRI last week and cancer has now spread to the omentem and more involoment in the liver. She is now taking pain pills where before she only wanted tylenol and it was controlling the pain. Her abdomen is becoming distended. She is not losing weight but is very unsteady on her feet and my sisters and I take turns staying 24/7. She has a bedside commode but needs help to get to it. What are the changes that we can expect and what signs do we need to look for and be aware of? Mom doesn't really want hospise, just wants her girls there. She was in perfect health and was raking her yard and living byself until the jaundice and itching started in Nov.

Buying Them For A Second Time 10-22-2016
This is my second pair of these pants and I love them!! My only complaint this year is the colors. They are all so dark! What happened to the lighter/brighter colors? I originally bought the green ones thinking that they were going to be military green. They actually almost looked black. I ended up going with the gray. Otherwise, I love the cut, and they are super comfortable.
Articulated Pant Review 10-20-2016
Solid / well built pair of snowboard pants. The articulated cut takes care of excess material typically found in traditional snowboard pants. The 15,000mm waterproofing treatment that Volcom uses should last at least two seasons (depending on how much touring you are doing). A lot of thought has gone into these pants. Pretty good value... especially when you compare these pants to some of the other big players in the snowboard industry. Haven't ridden them yet... don't think that I or you will be disappointed though.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"As a fan of Victoria's Secret, this design was absolutely perfect! It fit with the bridal shower and bachelorette party! Paper is good quality (thick and not flimsy). Color is on point and the shades of pink are the same as on the sample."
"The invitation was exactly how it presented itself on the computer screen. Great quality of paper and printing. I liked that the product is reviewed and sent to me for a final review. This prevents mistakes."
"this card was perfect for the bridal shower i hosted for my best friend. her theme was red and pink so i had the card design switched from the brown color to the rich red color. it was perfect for the theme. perhaps the brown color would have looked more graceful for a stronger color contrast. i got rounded corners so the card look nice and fancy."
"The invitations came out beautiful, and are of great quality. They also came with plain white envelopes, but they didn't feel flimsy and cheap, and were very nice as well. I was also very satisfied with the amount of time it took to deliver them, and all my guests complimented the invitations. I would definitely reccommend to get them, especially if you're doing a Victoria's Secret kind of theme."
"This turned out to be the most beautiful invitation. I personalized it by changing the pink text to red since we had a black, white and red color scheme for the party. When they arrived I was pleased with how expensive they looked for the price. It was a nice heavy-weight paper and the lace detail was beautiful (I was worried it might look cheap, but it was perfect.) Highly recommended!"

DETROIT - A judge says Wednesday will be the last day of testimony in the corruption trial of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, his father and a city contractor.
Federal Judge Nancy Edmunds sent jurors home Tuesday after no defense witnesses were available because of illness and other conflicts. She apologized.
Closing arguments are planned for Monday.
Kilpatrick, his father Bernard and a third man, Bobby Ferguson, are accused of a sweeping scheme to enrich themselves through extortion, bribery and other illegal tactics while Kwame Kilpatrick was mayor.
The trial began in September.
Kilpatrick quit office in 2008 when he was ordered to pay $1 million to Detroit as part of a conviction for lying under oath in a police whistleblower case. He still owes the city more than $800,000.
During his federal trial, he's already spent a weekend in jail for probation violations linked to his restitution.

… if you can call this live.
The team had a two-session workout, the second half spent on the power play. Now it's in a team meeting, so we're awaiting John Tortorella. Could be a while.
News? Well, Wojtek Wolski (ribcage) did not skate today, but expects to skate tomorrow. Brandon Dubinsky didn't skate in the first session, but was out there for the power play work. And Michael Del Zotto was on the point on the second PP unit, which leads me to believe he'll play Thursday. That's just a good guess, though.
We'll have more later … but not sure how much more.

Signing up for races: with friends or alone?
I have always signed up by myself. With the exception of one race where my wife came as a spectator and signed up at the last minute - it was her first and only race to date - she ran/walked it.
I've signed up for almost all my races by myself, and though my mom has done some of the same races as me, she walks and I run.
It depends on the race.
The longer the race, the more serious, and the more people you get who are racing it (racing is different from running).
I think with 5k's it's very common to get your everyday joe shmos. It's a friendly distance to the beginners and the unexperienced. However many people do take it seriously and race to race.
I have run a couple races with friends, but over all I race alone. When I'm racing to improve a time, I don't have others with me. The only exception is my brother. He's not big on times, and he's a better runner than me. So I'll race my longer distances with him, without fear that he will be hindering my performance.
Since races get expensive throughout the year, I usually race all mine seriously. I may race them with my family, but we all go our separate ways and try for our of PR's.
I typically sign up by myself. Race by myself. It was weird at first, but now I prefer it.
For running I've signed up with others but ran alone. On bike races I'll ride with a group if they go slow enough.
Before I started training with my group last October, I didn't know other runners, so always wound up going to races and running them alone. It didn't bother me, but now that I've been at a couple of events with friends, I can tell you it's a lot more fun! You can hang out together before and afterwards, and there are people to cheer if you happen to get a place on the podium. Not to mention carpooling...
Attending a race with friends doesn't mean running with them, though. Everyone still has to go at his or her own pace. Meet up at the finish line!
You're in the minority. Less than 1% of races have I coordinated with a friend. I take my kids to races so they can run in the fun runs but that's about it. I race solo for the same reason I train solo - I like the freedom.
It depends on the race.
The longer the race, the more serious, and the more people you get who are racing it (racing is different from running).
You have got to be kidding. Take a look at the popularity of HMs and marathons and how people train for and run them. Very few race them in the sense that you seem to mean.
It's a rarity for me to sign up for a race with friends. I can usually expect to see runners I know at local races, though, either from my running club or because I've been running and racing for a long time and see the same people at races. It's highly unusual for me to race outside my local area. Of the four I scheduled this year (and I think that's more than I've run outside my local area in the past 10 years), only one is with friends. I happened to know several runners at one of the others anyway, though I didn't sign up with them.
It depends on the race.

You have got to be kidding. Take a look at the popularity of HMs and marathons and how people train for and run them. Very few race them in the sense that you seem to mean.
Unfortunately, the longer the event the more volume is required to actually race vs finish the distance. Considering the typical mileage most runners are putting in this is not possible regardless of the intent of the individual. The vast majority of runners have a more respectable 5k time than half marathon or marathon time.
Most of the races I've participated in was alone and I've only signed up a handful of times with friends, but that doesn't mean I won't socialize with other people at the race.
I do compare notes with friends re: whether we're signing up for local races. But that doesn't mean we'll be running the races together.
My husband got me into running and we sign up for most races together, but we do run our own race and just enjoy spending time together before and after the race. I have a couple of friends that talk about signing up for races with me, but it never seems to work out. I do enjoy having some friends there to share the experience with.
I have never signed up for a race with a friend. I don't like talking while running. haha
I prefer to sign up for races alone. It just makes it easier on race day.
I am not good company at a race. I do a significant warm up before races when others are socializing. I won't change my race pace to run with others unless my intent is to pace someone. And I am usually in a hurry to get home when the race is over. For me a race is a race. It is not an event or an opportunity to hang out with friends. I sign up and go to races by myself.
I would love to have friends to race with because it's such a fun thing to do. But my friends are mostly sedentary and those who aren't are usually doing different events than I do.
I do, however, see many runners I've raced with before and socialize with them and I always talk to other runners after the race and usually I see one acquaintance or another at a race.
I just sign-up by myself. I'm not able to concentrate when I'm competiting in a race with friends. (plus all my friends think I'm crazy since I love running.) Most of my friends run a lot slower then me. So I would feel bad and want to stay at their pace instead of mine that I've been working on improving. So I go solo.
I'm terrible company before the race. Don't like to talk or even smile. If you say something to me I might seem like a real asshoIe because I really don't want to talk or chat.
Afterwards, I'm a freaking social animal, though. I always stay a long time after the race is over talking and comparing notes and getting reacquainted with racing friends.
I love to run races where a ton of friends will be there. I have a 50K in two weeks and there will be at least 25 people there I know. I'm not running with any of them but it certainly makes it make more fun than going, not knowing a sole, and leaving with 15 minutes of the race being over. Of course, that is only a personal preference. Some people like to race and leave immediately after the race. I prefer to hang around and drink beer.
Alone...but usually I end up seeing people I know if it's a local race. I generally won't socialize before the race, but I will after.
I've run a few with friends but the vast majority of my races are by myself, I sometimes know people at those races as well but I didn't sign up because of them.
Like most of the people who've replied, I've always run alone too. It's not bad at all; you get to arrive and leave whenever you want! Plus I always seem to fall into pace with a handful of people and run with them most of the way, regardless of whether or not I talk to them. Having said that, the race you're running probably has a pace group and you could run with them if you need the support. Good luck!
I run most races with my wife and 28 year old daughter. We do not run together or even try. We each run our own race.
I'm not sure why people think they need to run together just because they sign up for the same race. Before and after is the social part, during is the run your own race part.
Other than my family I have no friends who run, they all have legitimate reasons not to exercise. (that last part was sarcasm)
At many races I usually bump into someone I know, either another runner, the race management company or the medical staff. I prefer to hang out after the race and socilalize after my cool down.
I've done both. Most of my races are done with friends and/or family. I have signed up for some by myself though. In fact, I'm doing my first duathlon by myself this weekend while the rest of my racing crew are doing a triathlon on the other side of the state.
I prefer doing it with others because I enjoy driving there with someone, the companionship pre and post-race (including find a place to eat), and sharing the common experience with them. To me, part of the fun of racing is the social aspect of it and I don't get that when I go solo. That said, I still enjoy it solo, just not as much.
Every time I've signed up with friends, they chicken out on me at the last minute. On the other hand, I've run in a few marathon relays for free (to me) because some one else chickened out at the last minute, and the relay team needed some one to run on short notice.
Most of the races I've signed up with other people. Others I've signed up for alone, but afterwards some friends will also sign up. Only 1 so far have I signed up for and went to alone.. the Lansing Half Marathon this year. I like having people I know to hang out with before and after.
I do run my own race though and don't alter my pace for someone else.
I usually register alone, but I'm getting to the point now where I am starting to recognize people at local races. When I do happen to be running the same race as a friend, we will carpool, but we don't run together (he's much faster). It is nice to have someone to chat with at the start and afterwards though.
I ran my first one June 1 alone. Mostly becuase I was only a few weeks in to C25K and didn't want to embarass myself. I felt a little goofy standing around near the start by myself, while everyone was talking to each other.
I did my last two with a runner friend. It's nice to be able to hang out before and after. That said, we don't run together. She's a good 1min/mile+ faster than me.
I'm still planning to sign up for whatever works for my schedule and if others join me, great. if they dont, no biggie.
I train and race alone. Ultimately it's all about you versus yourself (your body/mind) and the clock. I guess I felt a little weird going to my first half alone, but I was able to meet and chat up some nice folks and try to at every race. From time to time I run into some friends at races - but I almost always find my 'own space' among strangers at the starting line - I don't want to fall into a trap of trying to keep up with or slowing down for a friend.
But part of my love of training and especially races is being in the moment and forgetting the daily pressures. I may be weird, but I sort of enjoy the solitude - I really relate to the extended 'running' scene from Forrest Gump.
I sign up by myself and occasionally friends are there too at the same race. I do not run with them during the races. First, I am much slower than they are generally and second, my friends want to talk when we run together and I just can't do that. So we'll meet up before/after the race and do our own thing during.
I sign up for races, and run 95% of the races, by myself. Granted, I do like hanging out after the race to chat with friends. Trail races are the best because there is usually ample beer afterward!
I'm about 50/50 signing up with friends/signing up alone. I always race alone, though.
I have run all my races with my running partner. I love running with her because she shows no mercy. I have to keep up or else! Because of that, we have placed 2nd and 3rd(me) in our age group in 2 5k's this past winter. And when I ran my first HM with her, my time was better than I thought it would be because she would not let me stop.
That said, she is hurt and I have not been running with her since 3/1/13. So I now have to race by myself and so far, I have not signed up for any races because I feel really weird not running with her. Eventually, I will have to bite the bullet and do it.
I train alone; I have my own mindset and mood I get in when I run. I need to focus on what I am doing or I am off distracted by a shiny object. (Dog after a squirrel)
I participate in races on my own for the same reason. Kind of in my own little race.
I may know others that are in the same race, but it is more of have a good race, see you later.
I think that if you can run with a buddy and share the experience, way to go. Plus you can take photos for each other and share them in your post race posts.
I usually sign up by myself, or with my husband. Anytime I've asked friends, they say "Oh yeah sounds great!" And then nothing.

Martin Allen insists the responsibility for Barnet's first defeat of the season lays with him rather than the players and he must "help" the players discover why they "came up a little bit short" against Lincoln.
The Bees were far from their best for the opening 45 minutes at The Hive and eerily similar goals from Jordan Burrow and Hamza Bencherif gave the Imps a 2-0 lead at the break.
Allen introduced Sam Muggleton and Luke Gambin at half-time in place of Elliot Johnson and Sam Togwell and was rewarded with a significantly better second-half display as Keanu Marsh-Brown halved the deficit.
Despite his side's best efforts, though, the Bees could not force an equaliser but Allen is taking responsibility for a first defeat of the season.
He said: "It was just disappointing all round. From start to finish, the first 46 minutes were just disappointing. It was hard to watch. We've been playing very well and it was just one of those days where we didn't get going.
"That's down to me, that's not down to the players; I picked the team and picked the training and chose how I wanted the players to play and today it just didn't happen," Allen continued.
"Today it didn't quite work and that's my responsibility."
Allen declared himself unhappy at half-time of Barnet's 5-0 opening day win at Chester last weekend, despite the Bees being 3-0 ahead, but revealed the home changing room was calm at half-time today.
He explained: "I just had a good chat with the players, there was no ranting and raving. As we all know, none of them turn up here to not play as well as they can, so I need to find out from them and help them, as to why it just didn't get going in the first half.
"We weren't sharp to the ball, we didn't win our headers, we didn't close down with real tenacity and I need to find out from the players why that is; whether I've done the wrong training, picked the wrong team or asked them to play how they didn't want to play."
Half-time substitutes Muggleton and Gambin were impressive in the second period, as was goalscorer Keanu Marsh-Brown and Allen was encouraged by Barnet's second-half display.
He said: "We're a new group of players and I think the supporters would say, come the end of the game, we didn't play very well in the first half.
"I think the supporters would say we were a bit unlucky second half. We gave it everything we've got but we just came up a little bit short. We're moving in the right direction."

Rod Dembowski appointed to King County Council, will represent Bothell, Kenmore and Kirkland
Foster Pepper PLLC lawyer Rod Dembowski beat out a sitting state representative, a Shoreline City Council member and 17 others to be appointed to King County Council Pos. 1 today.
Dembowski takes the seat vacated by Bob Ferguson, who was elected as the Washington State Attorney General in November. Dembowksi will face a general election for the position in November.
"Growing up in a single parent home in Renton, selling socks at swap meets to pay the bills and getting my health care from neighborhood clinics, a day like today seemed all but impossible," said Dembowksi, who plans to attend the Kenmore and Shoreline city council meetings this evening. "But because of our shared investment in health care for the needy, public K-12 education and a top-notch public university, I was able to attain my dreams of public service. I pledge that I will do everything in my power to pass those opportunities on to the next generation and will work tirelessly to ensure King County remains the best place in the world to live, work, and raise a family."
The district represents citizens of Kenmore, Bothell, Shoreline and areas of Woodinville, Kirkland and north Seattle. District No. 1 has a population of 214,883, according to the King County Districting Committee.
"I congratulate Councilmember Rod Dembowski on his appointment as the new representative of King County Council District 1," said King County Executive Dow Constantine. "I have known Councilmember Dembowski for many years and have admired his work as an activist, an attorney and a community volunteer. Rod has worked in County government, as an aide to former Executive Gary Locke, has practiced as a lawyer for a dozen years, and also brings a long record of public service to his new role."
Dembowski attended George Town University and clerked for the Washington State Attorney General's office during law school. He has also served as a policy analyst for the King County executive.
"I am thankful to the King County Council for their faith in my ability to join them as a colleague in public service," said Dembowski. "I am so grateful to the many endorsers and organizations that supported me in the appointment process, especially the many state representatives, mayors and city council members."
Dembowski was supported by Woodinville's mayor and chair of the Eastside Transportation Partnership Bernie Talmas, along with Renton mayor and president of the Sound Cities Association, Dennis Law, among others.
He was among three finalists, including State Rep. Cindy Ryu (D-Shoreline) and Shoreline City Councilman Will Hall. "I look forward to working with Representative Ryu in the Legislature on behalf of the citizens of King County and I hope to work with Councilman Hall as we develop regional plans that benefit our suburban cities," said Dembowksi.
Kenmore Mayor David Baker was also among the first 13 candidates to apply for the vacant seat.
"I am honored to have been given the opportunity to work on behalf of the residents of District 1 and all of King County," said Dembowksi, who has already raised more than $70,000 for the race next fall to hold his new seat.
More than 100 people attended his very successful campaign kickoff yesterday at the Meadowbrook Community Center, where supporters packed the auditorium, according to a spokesman for Dembowski. After the appointment, Attorney General Bob Ferguson immediately announced his endorsement of Dembowski for the position.

Home »Houseboat Boats »Gibson »Sport Series Houseboat
Thank you for looking for a used Gibson for sale on Calling All Boats! Let us help you find your favorite used boat. We have a huge database of affordable used power boats and sail boats, such as Gibson and many more. When Gibson first began in 1968, they wanted to create a boat that could accommodate the entire family, with cruising performance. When all the ideas were put on paper, the 30' Gibson was born. As time passed and the technology developed, Gibson grew as well. Gibson now builds eleven standard models of different styles and sizes as well as customized floor plans to satisfy the boaters dreams. After forty years, the Gibson name exemplifies tradition, quality and performance, and is the fun way to keep the family together. When it comes to comfort, livability and accommodations, nothing in its class will beat a Gibson. Gibson provides a genuine difference; just ask a Gibson owner. Be informed so that you will make the best decision, because deciding to buy a Gibson is easy. Deciding which model is the hard decision. Gibson is built to last, so we know that tomorrow you will be glad you chose a Gibson today. All Gibson boats range from 12 - 24 MPH cruise depending on size and engine package. For example a 50' Cabin Yacht with 315 hp Yanmar diesels, can obtain 24 MPH cruise speed. The same boat with 8.1L 385 hp Crusaders (Gas) will cruise at 18 MPH, but will have a higher top end than the diesel model. Gibson recently did a test with a pair of 110 hp Yanmar in a 47' Classic. Although it was no speed demon, it did maintain 9 MPH at an amazing 3.6 MPG. Depending on what you want to achieve and where you wish to boat, Gibson is sure to have the size and engine package for you.If you want to purchase a used boat for sale by owner, you can't find a better place.

Time's River: Archaeological Syntheses from the Lower Mississippi Valley (A Dan Josselyn Memorial Publication)
This volume stands as a key general resource for archaeologists working in the region extending from Louisiana through Mississippi north to Missouri and Kentucky, and it represents an opportunity to influence for decades a large part of the archaeological work to take place in the Southeast. The book responds to a need for a comprehensive archaeological overview of the Lower Mississippi Valley that forms a portion of an interstate corridor spanning nine states that will run from southern Michigan to the Texas-Mexico border. The culturally sensitive Mississippi Delta is one of the richest archaeological areas in North America, and it is crucial that research designs be comprehensive, coordinated, and meet current preservation and future res

It's great when Top Gear (BBC Two) goes out with a bang. And a crash. And a scrape or three. At the end of an entertaining 20th series which, at times, seemed more than usually concerned with vehicles other than cars (like yachts, caravans, hovercraft and in one bizarre instance a trail bike zipping around the former BBC Television Centre) it seemed apt that a goodly part of this Best of British finale should focus on James May taking a £300,000 newly designed London bus for an accident strewn tour of Somerset.
That was the fun factor, and very funny it was too; and even managed to introduce the notion that some motor vehicles are still almost entirely designed and built in the UK. It followed Richard Hammond's teasing demolition of the old Range Rover Sport's reputation, followed by an ecstatic review of the new model ("I feel like I'm driving a luxury hotel room through a swamp") based on a cross-country obstacle course and some track day racing. Perfect test conditions for a car that, let's face it, will mostly be used in West London to ferry children to and from school.
Of course what every self-respecting petrol head was really tuning in for was the long-awaited review of the fabulous looking new Jaguar F-Type. What would Clarkson make of it as he tore up "another amazing road in Hertfordshire" (ie remotest Scotland) to a Jimi Hendrix soundtrack. Unsurprisingly, he found much to love ("it's an X-rated hard-core monster for the terminally unhinged"). Especially its handling and wide range of "intoxicating" engine noises, although one suspects his condemnation of the "unbearably harsh ride" and tiny bootspace hid other complaints about its suitability as a day-to-day car. Oddly enough, it wasn't subjected to the usual workout from the Stig on the Top Gear test track either.
Perhaps that's because they need the F-type's reputation to be pure and unsullied in order to lead the charge in the surprise Hymn to the British Motor Industry series finale. This was a typically over the top, if undoubtedly soul-stirring, 10-minute riposte to anyone out there (say, a passing German or Italian) who might think the British motor manufacturing industry is "a busted flush". Quite the contrary said Clarkson & Co, and to prove it they decided to list just how much vehicle engineering, design and construction still goes on in the UK. And get every manufacturer and supplier in Britain to send examples of their work to a "gathering" in London.
It was enough to fill the Mall to overflowing as it turned out; a truly impressive (if not very well photographed) sight. And a worthwhile reminder that Britain's motoring heritage is still alive, well and absolutely thriving well into the 21st century. As for all that flag-waving, at least it put one in an excellent frame of mind for the show that BBC Two so sensitively scheduled to follow: Das Auto: The Germans, Their Cars and Us.
