Evolution Hoax
Surat at-Tawba, 32
'They desire to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths. But Allah refuses to do other than perfect His Light, even though the disbelievers detest it.'
The verse has the abjad value 2002. The year we think Prophet Jesus has arrived. Pay attention: 'They desire to extinguish Allah's Light with their mouths.' They are trying to stop the Mahdi system, the coming of the Prophet Jesus through televisions, radios. Many people took it on themselves to stop Islamic Union and the Mahdi system. They think that they can stop it. That's it is meant in the verse that they want to extinguish Allah's Light. 'But', Allah says: 'Allah refuses to do other than perfect His Light, even though the kafirun detest it.' Of course, the unbelievers trying to prevent it is completely different than Muslims trying to prevent it. Unbelievers are the ones that do not believe in the Qur'an, that go against the Qur'an insha'Allah.
Surah Al 'Imran, 186
'You will be tested in your wealth and in yourselves and you will hear many abusive words from those given the Book before you and from those who are idolaters. But if you are steadfast and have piety, that is the most resolute course to take.'
Who are the mushrikun (the ones that are associating others with Allah)? They are the bigots, the radicals. Allah says that you will hear many abusive words from them. Through radios, through TVs, they will be speaking, writing ill of Muslims, trying to hurt and offend real Qur'anic Muslims with their offensive tongues. They will try to pick a fight with them, try to verbally attack them and show their filth to the whole world. Our Almighty Lord told us 1,400 years ago that such people would be engaged in such filthy acts in the end of the times.

Crossed CrocodilesLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
On a recent visit to the local Crocodile Rehabilitation Unit I took a photo of the rectangular area where several were kept to recover from injuries.
There was at least one very large crocodile in each of the four corners of the area. Opposite each crocodile were three crocodiles, and at each crocodile's tail lay at least one crocodile.
What is the smallest number of crocodiles that would make this photo description possible?
HintIt was not a very large area.
AnswerFour crocodiles were in my photo. Each one was in a corner of the floor, facing the corner.
Thus, each crocodile was opposite three others (either across or diagonally). The area was small enough so that their tails were almost touching as they pondered their escape!
The diagram below illustrates this solution.

The aim of the campaign is to raise awareness of the opportunities that digital skills offer for employment and employability.
Every day, there are new, well-paid jobs being created in Europe's digital economy – in fact, Europe may experience a shortfall of up to 756,000 ICT professionals by 2020. In the near future 90% of jobs - in careers such as engineering, accountancy, nursing, medicine, art, architecture - will require some level of digital skills. But at present, half of all citizens in the European Union have no or low computer skills. In order for Europe to continue moving towards prosperity and growth, it needs to equip its citizens with the necessary skills for the jobs of tomorrow.
The campaign has been launched under the European Commission's Grand Coalition for Digital Jobs, a multi-stakeholder partnership to address the shortfall in eSkills among Europeans and encourage people to fully exploit the potential employment opportunities that ICT provides, while also ensuring that women are able to partake equally in the opportunities offered by the digital economy.
eSkills for Jobs 2015 is coordinated on behalf of the European Commission by

There was a lot to like in last night's performance by Matt Harvey.
For one thing, the second performance helps to reinforce the non-fluke nature of the debut, and vice versa. It's a long way from these two starts to fully establishing himself in the major leagues. But no one can establish himself in two starts; it is the length of effective pitching itself that does so. These two starts are about as strong a beginning as a pitcher can have toward doing that.
One thing that got discussed widely was Harvey's use of his changeup last night. It is his fourth-best pitch, but he threw it often: 19 times in all, particularly early. He threw it, without hesitation, even behind in the count.
I'm thrilled.
Look, the major downside to bringing up Matt Harvey now was essentially that facing major league hitters, he'd rely on what he already knew, his fastball/slider combo, and shy away from working on the curve and change. With the two pitches, Harvey is a solid major league pitcher. With three or four, he can be great.
So using the changeup as if this were a spring training game works for me. Perhaps you don't remember, but the Mets tried everything to get Mike Pelfrey to add another pitch. Whether he could have done so by more aggressively using them is unknown, because of how, at the slightest sign of trouble, he reverted to that same sinking fastball.
Harvey isn't afraid to try and get better. And his ability to do so isn't hampered by facing major league hitters as a result.
And by the way, in the midst of a work-in-progress game that was his second start in the major leagues, he allowed two earned runs over six innings, striking out seven.
19 changeups? I'll take it.

Encouraged by the success of its recent time-bending experiments on Mad Men, AMC is now considering its first genuine foray into science-fiction, depending on whether you consider zombies or the demand for another season of The Killing to fall within the realm of science fiction. Regardless, its new pilot order Line Of Sight is its most recognizably science-fiction show yet, with producer Blake Masters (of Brotherhood and Rubicon) heading up the genre-blurring conspiracy thriller about "Lewis Bernt, a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator who survives a mysterious plane crash, bringing him on a quest to discover the accident's cause. He becomes a man whose entire sense of self, his own life and the world as he knows it, completely unravels in a whirlwind of obsession and paranoia." Given that it's AMC, he also probably becomes kind of a jerk.

Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2011
|Started from Cordova Pass around 9:30am, reached treeline around 10:30am, summit at 12:30pm and back to car at 3:30pm. Smoke from the NM fires made things a bit hazy. While heading down it got cold, windy and ice pellets fell heavily at times. Descending the talus felt numbingly slow as I wanted to get out from being a lightning rod. Also the cell service is great throughout the climb.

Could have stayed up there all day. Only one other person made it that day. I think this one was just as hard as ESP but, I started ESP from the saddle. The views of the dikes are great from the top.

|Tried this the day after doing Lindsey. Started before 10:00am and reached tree line about an hour later. Some thick dark clouds started rolling in and I called off that summit bid due to my experience on Mt. Lindsey the day before. So I went back to the parking area only to see that it cleared up. So I just hiked around the area for a few and did Peak 11563 and went up to Vista PT. West Spanish is still on the to do list.

|First time doing either of the Spanish peaks. Left the trailhead at 8:10 and was on the summit at 10:20. I got a little off trail when a fellow climber who was on the trail told me there wasn't a true trail and just to hug the ridge. It was windy so I tucked over on the back side as much as I could until close to the summit. I did a lot of scrambling until I finally stuck to the ridge higher up.
Downclimb was tricky but manageable. I usually take my time on the descents so thats why it actually took longer from summit back to the car then the climb up. Overall a good climb for half a day's work.

The braided trail remnants that abound on the lower half of the section above timber seem to be getting more numerous and looser, probably because many people go a short distance above timber and turn around. I encountered quite a bit of snow up on the ridge as well as strong winds, but with plenty of sun. Especially loose going back down. Snow bank back down in timber sure felt good to bare feet....

First came the original Flour Bakery location in the South End, followed by Fort Point and then Cambridge. And if you follow Joanne Chang's Twitter feed, you can get live updates on the construction status of her fourth outpost, Flour Back Bay, due to open any time now.
Between her butter-laden pastries, stunning cakes, and inspired (and well-crafted) sandwiches and salads, it's no wonder that her business is turning into a mini Boston enterprise. (Frankly, I think the sticky buns alone could fuel the expansion.) But when we asked Chang herself for a list of must-try sweets, she pointed out a few we hadn't yet tried. Now that we have, we're more excited than ever that Flour 4 is moving in.

CLEVELAND (AP) -- The haunting strains of "What'll I Do?" drifted over guests at the recent awards dinner of the Joint Veterans' Commission of Cuyahoga County.
"When I'm alone/ With only dreams of you/ That won't come true/ What'll I do?"
As Andrea Laune sang those words written by Irving Berlin, she gazed over the crowd at Jim Cole, who beamed back as best he could with a face half-paralyzed from a recent cancer operation.
"What'll I do with just a photograph/ To tell my troubles to?"
Both knew it was a song with many meanings for a father who discovered after 44 years that he had a daughter, and a daughter whose 20-year search for her father successfully ended just in time.
And it all happened as a result of the same event last year.
The story goes back to 1966 when Jim Cole was a former Army Green Beret, just home from the war in Vietnam. He was trying to make it in the civilian world by attending Baldwin-Wallace College while working at a bank and an Arby's in North Olmsted where he met an 18-year-old girl.
They dated for a couple of weeks, then he suddenly returned to Vietnam as a Navy construction contractor.
He never said goodbye. He figured it was just a brief fling; two ships passing in the night sort of thing.
But she was pregnant, and mistakenly thought he'd rejoined the Army. Unable to locate him, she gave up her daughter for adoption.
That daughter was Andrea Laune, who grew up in Shaker Heights, graduated from Regina High School and Miami University, then got married and settled down with her husband to raise two children at their current home in Franklin, Tenn.
She knew she was adopted and always wanted to meet her birth parents. Fortunately, her mother had given the adoption agency permission for her daughter to contact her, and the two met in 1988.
Her mother told her about the soldier named Jimmy Ray Griffin who was Laune's father.
Laune was determined to find him, too.
"I didn't have a close relationship with my (adopted) parents, there was no emotional connection, and I always had a longing for a father and mother," Laune, 44, said during her visit to Cleveland to attend the Joint Veterans' Commission awards dinner.
She didn't know that her father -- who had served in a clandestine Special Forces unit in Vietnam, working with the CIA -- had changed his name after the war to Jim Cole (the name of his mother's second husband).
He got married and he and his wife, Danielle, raised two children.
Cole, now 69, of Berea, said he changed his name because he wanted to avoid being connected to some of the military operations that were classified for more than 30 years, and possible retribution for his role in those missions.
Laune said she and her birth mother eventually drifted apart. "A lot of times these things don't really work out, and that's OK," she said.
She still had a father to find.
She scoured records in Cleveland and Columbus, hired a private investigator, but had no luck in finding him.
After 20 years she had nearly given up hope until early last year when her usual periodic search of the Internet brought up stories in the Parma Sun News and The Plain Dealer about Cole being honored as Veteran of the Year by the Joint Veterans' Commission.
The Parma Sun News story told about his name change, and The Plain Dealer's use of a photo of Cole when he was in the service clinched it. When Laune compared that photo to her high school graduation picture, "We looked like twins, almost," she said.
"I knew immediately. I knew it. I was jumping up and down yelling 'I found my birth-father! I found my birth-father!'"
She sent him a letter containing photos of herself and her mother. "I knew he could reject and deny me, but I was trusting that God had a plan," she said. "So I prayed and prayed and prayed."
Cole said that when he opened the letter, "I did what Green Berets never do -- I put my head down on my desk and cried my heart out."
He called his ex-wife. "She said, 'Are you ready to accept her and love her?'" Cole recalled. "I said absolutely."
Cole said that after breaking the news to his children and his sister, they advised caution, telling him to get a DNA paternity test.
But Cole had recognized the photo of Laune's mother. And photos of him and Laune, both at a younger age, clinched it for him, too. "There was never a doubt in my mind when I saw both those pictures," he said.
"Never a doubt, but regrets," he added. "If only I had known, things could've been different. She wouldn't have had the difficult childhood that she had. She could've lived in a loving home, with a father who loved her."
He called Laune and told her that he was her father.
"Are you coming to see me?" she asked.
"I'm on my way," he answered.
He visited on Mother's Day weekend, "but it was Father's Day for me," Laune said.
"We embraced, I cried, then we just sat together and talked for hours," she recalled. "To look into his face, I could see the love in his eyes. It was amazing."
Cole remembered, "I'd never seen anything more beautiful in my life. The picture was one thing. Actually seeing her, truly was something special."
In the following months they got to know each other. She came to Cleveland and they toured all the places of her youth. They visited Mexico, and Fort Bragg, N.C. where he had trained as a Green Beret.
They discovered similarities. Both liked handwritten notes. Neither enjoyed watching TV. They were deeply religious, and their music tastes ran to the old standards of the '40s and '50s.
But there was something he had to tell her. He'd been diagnosed with a malignant cancer tumor and was headed to the Mayo Clinic for surgery.
While there, the amateur singer sent him a song that she'd sang and recorded with the help of her husband, Tom, a recording engineer and producer.
The song was "What'll I Do?"
Cole said that since the operation he has refused any addition chemotherapy and radiation treatment, preferring to "put my faith in God." He noted that he might have another year, or might not, but "when the man upstairs pulls my string, I'm ready to go."
Until then, he plans to spend as much time as he can with his daughter, "telling stories and catching up on the 44 years that we've missed. Time is precious now, so we've got to make the most of it."
Laune hopes their example can inspire other adopted children, and has posted their story on her website. She also made a CD, "Lost and Found," that includes the songs she recently sang to him and guests at the awards dinner.
There's a possible father-daughter skydiving adventure in the works.
"Having this time is very sacred, very special to me, and to him," Laune said.
So for now, what'll they do is whatever they can, as long as they're together.

EIGHT teams battled for victory at a family fun day to raise money for a junior cricket club.
The Easton Sixes tournament on Friday, July 25, at the David Roth Memorial Cricket Ground, near Winchester, drew crowds from across the county.
It was organised by the Easton and Martyr Worthy Cricket Club to raise funds for their junior development academy, which coaches and mentors players aged 13 to 21.
Club chairman, Adam Murch, said: "It's only the second time we have done it. The weather gods were kind to us. We probably had around 350 people turn up, and we had eight teams of six players. They played 15 overs. We also had an under-13s demonstration."
The action kicked off on Thursday with a tug-of-war, and the fun day also included two bouncy castles, ice-creams, a hog roast.
The Chesnut Horse team took the crown, and 16-year-old Zack Mitchell won player of the day.

After much though and deliberation, I have come to some decisions regarding my mvc project. I have reasons why I decided on my persistence engine over others and why I chose to perform injection the way I did. Overlook these two issues and simple address the rest. What I'd like you to do, is take a look at this preliminary code (major code base is saved). Tell me if I am getting the basic thought process correct in regards to repositories, services, models, and views. Also take a look at my specifications, filters, extensions and engines. Give me any feedback here before I proceed with the rest of the app.
Note: No db scripts provided. Do not attempt to run this app.
Thanks pufa, but I already know how to recurse a tree from a root entity. That's not what I'm trying to do. I have the tip of a branch and need to recurse backwards, to the root, in order to build a navbar.
Using my example above.
SitePoint Forums > Forum Index > Program Your Site > .NET > Need MVC expert to verify I am on right track.
What have is the Need MVC expert to verify I am on right track. part and I need to build the rest, back to SitePoint Forums.
Sorry, I've been without internet the past few days. I would've been here to respond otherwise.
In response to wwb:
I don't have a problem with things written by others. Most of the MVC framwork is contributed material. The difference is that MS adopted it and put their name on it. That's enough for me.
In response to dhtml:
Over this past week, while my inet was down, I tore this app apart. Several times in fact. My analysis comes down to the following.
[Edit] I hit enter too soon, continuation coming up...
After much hesitation and doubt, and the advice of numerous people over the past year, I've returned to the ddd version of my app and have made a lot of progress. However, I do have some things that concern me. I will try and express those concerns here in hopes that one of you will have an answer for me.
1) Entity Traversal
In a typical ddd application one entity may own one or more of another type of entity. New owned entities are added to the owning entity and then the owning entity is then saved.
Foo parent = fooRepository.SelectById(42);
Bar child = new Bar("something_unique");
Ok, this is fine, but what is happening in my application is when a self referencing entity adds children, and then those children have children, and so on for several generations.
If somebody is viewing the details of such an entity four generations deep (for example), and that entity has no back referencing, how am I expected to build a navigation bar like the one at the top of this very page?
Consider this following action of the forum controller:
public ActionResult View(int id)
Forum entity = forumRepository.SelectById(id);
return View(Mapper.Map<Forum, ForumViewModel>(entity));
Without back referencing, I have no way for the view to build a navbar (via HtmlExtension method).
2) ViewModel Missmatch
In some cases, I require a confirmation before an action will proceed. Deletions are such a case. Here is an example:
public class ForumDeleteModel
public int Id { get; set; } // entity id
public string Title { get; set; } // used to prompt user
public bool Confirmed { get; set; } // user to get permission
[HttpPost, ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Delete(ForumDeleteModel model)
if (!ModelState.IsValid) return View(model);
// the rest is skipped secondary to explanation below
The problem in the above example is that the view only presents the user with a prompt like "Do you really want to delete forum named: {0}" where Title is formatted in. The model property Title is not however saved in a hidden field and is therefor not set upon post. If validation fails, and the model re-presented, there is no value for Title.
I have two solutions here. One is to drop it onto the form in a hidden field, and that may make sense for this one form, but what about forms that display a great deal more temporary info? It doesn't seem logical to persist all that data in hidden fields. The second solution is to re-construct the model before sending it to the view. This also seems to be a little wrong, as I don't have to do it with other actions and models.
I am not sure how to proceed with this.
I am sure I will come up with more, but for now, this will do. Please advise.
Using DI would require using libraries written by other people . . ..
Looks ok to me, a little cluttered in the root directory, I would move stuff that's not directly Mvc related into a different folder (we usually use /Core) or a different project. And please don't use poor man's DI http://www.lostechies.com/blogs/chad_myers/archive/2009/07/14/just-say-no-to-poor-man-s-dependency-injection.aspx
Actually, I just had an idea that appears to solve a great deal of my problems involving forward and backward traversal, while still maintaining domain integrity. I think I can make it work, but I'll need a little help adjusting the convention cs files. I am not sure the current one will work, and I don't understand them well enough to know exactly what to change. Anyway, on to my idea.
In the preferred design, an entity maintains a list of children, exposing it as an IEnumerable, and provides some accessor methods for adding and removing from it. Such an entity provides no reference to, or foreign key to, another entity that may be it's own owner. This makes backward traversal impossible.
Some may argue that backwards traversal isn't something one should be able to do in a domain design, and for the most part, I'd agree. However, the demands of my application dictate that I need this. So my proposal is doing an inversion of the standard.
In my scenario, my entities would expose their child lists as an IEnumerable, as before, but provide NO accessor methods. These lists are for downward traversal only and cannot be changed. Such an entity would however, expose any parent references, as a protected set property. We now have traversal in both directions. The only other thing that needs to change is the constructors.
Whereas before I might have had:
Forum parent = forumRepository.SelectById(1);Forum child = new Forum("Old Discussions");parent.AddChild(child);forumRepository.Update(parent);
I would now have:Forum child = new Forum(parent, "Old Discussions");forumRepository.Insert(child);
So it's basically an inversion of the recommended way of doing things, but it is still very solid, while allowing me to do what I need.
Now, here's the problem...
While I understand that with this scenario, I need to add instance.Inverse() to my HasManyConvention now, I am not sure how to construct my ReferenceConvention. Nothing I do, seems to work.
This is what it currently looks like:
using FluentNHibernate.Conventions;
using FluentNHibernate.Conventions.Inspections;
using FluentNHibernate.Conventions.Instances;
namespace Venue.Persistence.Mapping.Conventions
public class ReferenceConvention : IReferenceConvention
public void Apply(IManyToOneInstance instance)
instance.ForeignKey(instance.EntityType.Name + "Id");
There is also an issue with needing an override in one entity map, but I'll address that once this is correct.
tree loading in nhibernate
uh... I think you maybe expecting too much of us to digg inside your code. Instead of that, if you could provide Overall High Level Design Diagram or Simplified version of Class Diagram would definitely help. At least that's just my opinion.
[Continuation from last post]
Objective for this app:
1) Follow the K.I.S.S principle in every step of development.
2) Keep the number of methods, classes, and projects to a minimum.
3) Only use design patterns that actually benefit my efforts.
4) Stick to an "out of the box" VS solution.
Ok, so those four things really had an impact on my project.
First off, wanting to stick purely with MS stuff, my choices for database were limited, but of course I chose SQLExpress.
Second, choices for persistence engine were OdbcClient, SqlClient, Linq2Sql, and Entity Framework. I ruled the first two out as they would be more work (even though using an odbc driver had it's appeal). The last two were faily similar, but Linq2Sql won out because of some nice features the other doesn't have (to my knowledge). Namely, the ability to define Context and Entity namespaces, and rename the context object via designer properties. So I had decided on Linq2Sql.
Third, unit testing never really clicked with me. I understand the mechanics, just not able to properly envision what things I need to test, why I need to test them, what I am looking for, or how to read the result. It just flat never made much sense to me.
Fourth, I am actually considering dropping injection altogether since I am not testing. I am not entirely sure I even need to use interfaces for most things at this point. Since I am not testing, there doesn't seem to be a point to either one.
If you feel you can explain unit testing to me, in a way that I can understand, please do. Maybe I'll reconsider my stance, but as it stands right now. I simply think many of the mvc people out there are taking things way to much to heart, and are going way overboard...

Print Frye Boots have been the standard for western boots since 1863 when John A. Frye, a prominent English shoemaker founded the company. It is still to date, the oldest continuously operated shoe company in the United States. Frye Boots was run by John Frye until 1911 until his death and then was taken over by his family until 1945. Frye Boots remains a signature of tradition and quality boot making. Frye Boots go back to the time of the Civil War. Frye Boots were worn by Confederate and Union soldiers as well as Teddy Roosevelt's "Rough Riders" during the Spanish-American War. Even when the earlier settlers began pioneering west, many of the adventurous New England families were wearing Frye Boots. Frye is as much a part of American History as apple pie. They are more comfortable too. The famous Frye Harness Boot continues to lead the charge and draw influence from the American Cavalry of those very early years. Even during a trip in 1938 to Washington, DC, Frye Boots we requested to be custom made for a US Navy Admiral. All throughout World War II, Frye provided custom boots for officers as well as supplying thousands of service men with Frye Wellingtons (aka Jet Boots). Frye Boots have traveled the world on the feet of brave and courageous servicemen. Even steel hard General George Patton wore a pair of Frye Boots. The classic Frye Harness Boots will forever hold a place in American History and stay rooted in the heart of American Culture. Frye's styles are as timeless as their reputation. Frye takes pride in providing boots that are benchcrafted from the finest full grain leather uppers with genuine leather and premium rubber soles. With Frye's dedication in creating the perfect boots down to the smallest detail, it takes over 190 steps to make a single pair of Frye Boots. Now that is quality you can count on. With the proper care, Frye Boots will last forever. Frye doesn't only make quality Western Boots, Riding Boots or Motorcycle Boots. Frye Boots can often be seen in the streets of busy cities and towns. Not to mention the countless celebrities that are in fashion magazines and can we seen often wearing a great pair of Frye Boots. Frye is a huge part of Americana and they proudly hold a place in American culture and style.

In July 2013, WSU said good-bye to a beloved and long-time member of the College of Veterinary Medicine. Shamal, a twenty-one year old Shagya Arabian gelding was originally presented in 2003 to the WSU-VTH for exercise intolerance and was treated for bacterial endocarditis involving his aortic and mitral valves. The gelding was used as an endurance horse but with the diagnosed heart condition, his owner made the decision to retire and donate him to WSU knowing that Shamal could provide a rich teaching experience for the veterinary program. Shamal not only fulfilled his owner's intention with the hundreds of veterinary students and clinicians, who have listened to his heart, but the gelding also quickly became a favorite of the teaching herd horses for his kind demeanor. Some of his biggest fans were amongst the first year veterinary students of which there were many who until then had never worked around horses. A patient teacher, Shamal, helped these students learn about equine anatomy as a palpation horse. After nearly a decade of being part of the WSU-VTH, in the past year Shamal began to show more progressive signs of heart failure despite medical therapy. Though a difficult decision it was decided that humane euthanasia was in his best interest. He went peacefully in his quiet and gentle way. Many students and clinicians came to pay their respects to Shamal, each with their own story to share of his impact on their lives. In the words of one instructor, "he has taught hundreds of students to become veterinarians…more than I could ever hope to do…" Shamal will long be remembered in the hearts of the many.

Many single speed cogs will take a toll on freehub bodies over time. Their narrow nature paired with a whole lotta torque makes for trouble. Our friends in North Carolina developed a brilliant solution -- the Endless Bike Kick-Ass Cog. A full quarter inch wide (6.35mm) at the splines, the Kick-Ass Cog simply will not damage your free hub body the way a narrower cog can. It's crafted from high strength 7075-T6 alloy (Stronger and harder than most common steels), right here in the U-S-of-A.
Endless Bike Kick-Ass Cogs are precision machined insuring perfect axial and radial alignment that compliments the superior chain lines that cassette style hubs allow. The specially engineered tooth profile on Kick-Ass Cogs improves both cog and chain life while minimizing drive train friction. Because of this, you can expect a smooth, quiet drivetrain -- no more grittiness.

IT was a weekend of extremes for athletes from Dudley Kingswinford Running Club with some competing at the 5k distance and other going long with marathons to complete.
Helen Tromans made her marathon debut in the Shakespeare Marathon in Stratford-upon-Avon completing the 26.2 mile, two lap course in 3.20.31 to take the thrid female prize and first in her age group.
It is a performance that ensures Helen's automatic qualification for the London Marathon next April should she choose to take up the option.
Also in Stratford, Dave Hickman completed the one lap half marathon in 1.49.20.
Further afield Ingrid Cain took part in the Madrid Marathon finishing in a time of 4.25.20, another good finish in what is rapidly becoming a world tour.
Over a much shorter distance of a fraction over three miles, Ben Foster just missed out on a podium place at Wolverhampton and Bilston's Fordhouses Fast 5k by a matter of seconds, finishing in fourth place in 16.51. He was joined by club stalwart John Andrews who took 43rd place in 21.37.

Actress-turned-reality Tv star Brooke Burke Charvet has been diagnosed with thyroid cancer.
The former Dancing With the Stars host's doctor discovered a cancerous growth on her thyroid gland during a recent health check-up, and the 41 year old, who is married to actor David Charvet, now faces surgery.
But the mum of four is confident she will make a full recovery.
Revealing the medical crisis in a video on her ModernMom blog on Thursday (08Nov12), she says, "I'm going to have a nice big scar right her across my neck. And I don't get to just walk around and pretend like nothing happened or not follow up or not share it, because it's going to be pretty much dead centre...
"As crazy as it is, my head is in the right place, and it's going to be good. I'm just going to make a positive out of this negative thing. Now I'm ready to deal with it and I'm going to be fine... I feel really, really strong."
The former model isn't the first Tv star to be struck down with thyroid cancer - Modern Family actress Sofia Vergara was diagnosed with the disease in 2000, but she has since been given a clean bill of health.
The actor says he isn't "holding out for more money or doing anything like that".
The drama will be making its return to the streaming service in the near future.
Charlie Cox explains why his character Daredevil 'doesn't have time' for Jessica Jones.

Interest is building in the approximately 800-acre, Pender County expanse on the west side of U.S. 421.
When the first land was bought for Pender Commerce Park in 2006, officials saw a lot of potential to attract business. But the park, though since expanded, has remained vacant.
Now, however, interest is building in the approximately 800-acre, Pender County expanse on the west side of U.S. 421 stretching north from the New Hanover County line. The park was expanded in 2010 to nearly 800 acres from its original 378. It includes the site of the former BASF vitamin plant.
"We're seeing a lot of activity," said Scott Satterfield, CEO of Wilmington Business Development, which handles business recruiting for Wilmington and Pender and New Hanover counties. "It's picked up in recent months."
All types of businesses have expressed interest – manufacturing, warehouse distribution and corporate locations, he said.
And there are reports that a seafood processing plant is eyeing the park.
Jim Quinn, chairman of the Cape Fear Public Utilities Authority board, said he has been told by Pender County officials that the firm is looking seriously at Pender Commerce Park.
The plant could be 100,000 square feet and employ 100 people, Quinn said.
No announcement, however, has been made about a plant and Pender County Manager Mickey Duval referred questions to Satterfield.
Satterfield would not comment on the report.
Danny McComas, chairman of the N.C. State Ports Authority board and former New Hanover County representative in the N.C. General Assembly, said he was unaware of a plant planning to come to the park, but he did say he saw potential for the area.
That potential was enhanced last week as Duke Energy announced it had chosen hundreds acres of Pender and New Hanover – including the commerce park – for its site-readiness program.
Over the next four months the sites – including one in Brunswick County as well – will undergo an assessment for their strengths for specific, targeted industries, the utility said.
Duke, which is paying for the evaluations, has hired consulting firm McCallum Sweeney to conduct a site study. Land-use planners will create conceptual plans detailing the areas of the sites most suited for building and development.
After assessments are made of the sites, Duke will market the property nationwide, providing an enormous boost to the park, Satterfield said.
"The site-readiness program is a big deal," he said, adding that the sites must meet a list of criteria that will identify and strengths and weaknesses. "Having sites that have to clear many hurdles improves the chances of landing projects."
Duke, which launched its program in 2005, has conducted assessments of 97 sites, landing 10 major projects.
The commerce park also is benefiting as a port-enhancement zone.
The state designation, which is only available to sites in low-income areas within 25 miles of the state's deepwater ports in Wilmington and Morehead City, would provide enhanced tax incentives for new industries creating port-related jobs.
Infrastructure has been improved since the park's inception. A water treatment plant was completed in 2012 and can produce 2 million gallons per day of drinking water. But it's designed to expand in phases up to 6 million gallons per day as the water needs increase – a capacity that could be used to service businesses and industries running down U.S. 421 on the New Hanover side of the border.
Sewer service, however, remains a weakness.
Only a small wastewater treatment plant exists on the property now, but Pender County is moving forward with permitting and design of a 500,000-gallon-a-day, expandable facility, Satterfield said.
Once planning is done, construction would take about 18 months, he said.

Last weekend I picked up my annual (and probably final) split beef half and really had to work to get it all into the freezers, so I pulled out a rump roast to make for Sunday supper and weekday lunches. However, it actually turned out to be a combination of 2 roasts so I rotisseried the larger one and simply sliced the smaller one and cooked it in a pan for breakfast.
I seasoned the larger roast with salt and pepper, wrapped it with bacon, and cooked it over charcoal until the internal temp hit 120. The bacon got nice and crisp and the second photo shows the effect it had on the roast.
For tougher roasts a thin slice is a must, so I used the el cheapo Chinese slicer I bought a number of years ago. The meat was nice and moist and definitely not overdone, and made for a lot of good sandwiches. For supper we had the beef on burger buns with a mayo & horseradish sauce and for lunches I ate it on rye with yellow mustard, and it was great either way. Plus the bacon was a nice extra!

CLEARWATER, Fla. – The Saint Leo softball team dropped a pair of games as they opened play at the Eckerd College Spring Invitational, Friday afternoon from the Eddie C. Moore Complex. Drury University ousted the Lions 8-4 in the opener, before dropping an extra-innings affair to West Florida (5-2), 4-1.
The Lions struggled at the plate for the majority of the night, as they hit .141 as team. However, Tiffinee Harvey continued her brilliant start to 2010, going a combined 3-for-7. Sarah Boyd and Elysha Agen each delivered doubles, while Amber Martyn made her one hit stick as it was deposited over the leftfield fence for her first home run of the season. Dianne Gonzalez and Danielle Moreda added to the Lions eight total hits with pair of singles.
It was not the prototypical start for the Green & Gold in game one. Saint Leo, who had been outscoring opponents 9-to-6 through the first two innings, faced a steep challenge out of the gate as the Drury Panthers scored six runs over the first two frames.
The Panthers used three hits, two walks, and a pair of Saint Leo errors to open a 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first. After a scoreless top of the second, the Panthers showcased the long ball to extend their lead to 6-0. First, a two-run blast off the bat of Ball made the score 5-0 and a solo blast by the following blast increased the lead by one.
The Lions clawed their way back into the game in the fourth inning when Harvey started the frame off with her first triple of the season. After Yates reached, Gonzalez connected on a flare to right field to score the Lions first run. Ana Castillo followed with a groundout to score Boyd, cutting the deficit to four.
Drury answered the Lions call in the bottom of the inning by scoring two more runs on three hits and two SLU miscues. It did not shake the Lions confidence though as they used the top of the fifth to cut the lead the lead back down to four. Harvey started the rally with a two-out single which was followed by a Brittany Yates walk. Finally, Boyd brought the both of them in on an RBI double to right center.
Unfortunately, the Lions could not muster enough offense to overcome the opening deficit, falling 8-4. In the process, Harvey's seven-game hitting streak to start the season was snapped with a 0-for-3 effort in the nightcap.
Kristen Kelly took the loss for the Lions, dropping to 0-3 on the season. She was responsible six runs in an inning and two-thirds. Jaime Walker was stellar in relief, throwing 4.1 innings, striking out two hitters, and not allowing an earned run.
In game two, the Lions and Argonauts exchanged zeros for the majority of the contest. It took until the sixth inning before the scoreboard was cracked with a run. In the sixth, the Argos were able to get to the steady Ashton Whidden when Melissa Chastang connected on a triple and came around to score on the same play as a result of an error.
The Lions, who were held hitless going into the final frame, were brought right back into contention when Martyn sent the first pitch she saw over the leftfield fence for a game-tying home run. Agen followed with a double, but was eventually stranded at third before she could cross the plate.
The Argos took advantage of the missed opportunity in the "Texas Tie-Breaker" eighth inning, scoring three unanswered runs to take a 4-1 lead. The advantage held and Saint Leo fell in back-to-back games for the first time this season.
Jillian LaFrance took to the circle for West Florida and in the end, mowed down 14 Lions' hitters. Ashton Whidden, on the other hand, threw fantastic for SLU. She threw a career-best eight innings, scattered nine hits and allowed just two earned runs, while striking out six. Whidden now stands at 3-1 on the season.
The Lions continue action at the Eckerd College Invitational on Saturday, February 20th. A pair of region contender stand in their way Valdosta State and Flagler are on tap. First pitch against Valdosta State is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. with Flagler to follow around 1:30 p.m.
Both games can be heard on the SaintLeoLions AudioCast Network.

AT A GLANCE: Saint Leo (27-12, 7-7 SSC) put it to the Tritons right from the start, getting out to a 10-0 leading after four innings of the first game of this doubleheader. Lions' starter Rick Teasley was in command of as he went seven complete innings, allowing no runs and just six hits while striking out 12 Triton' batters. The Lions belted 14 hits as a team in the dominant performance.
- Saint Leo wasted no time getting on the board in this one, putting up a three-spot in the top of the first. Chris Newcomb led off the game with an infield single and following a Frank Rawdow walk, Taed Moses came through with a two out base hit into left field to score a run. Dillon Vitale then belted a line drive over the right field wall to make it a 3-0 lead.
- In a wild fourth inning in which the Lions batted around the order, 12 runs were plated on four hits and three hit batters. The inning was highlighted by a mammoth two-run homerun from Bobby Twitty that propelled the Lions' rally. Daniel Torres singled to lead off the inning, and following Twitty's blast, Michael Revell and Ryan Brnovich also collected RBI hits.
- After being held scoreless for two innings by Eckerd knuckleballer A.J. Witkowski, the Lions broke through once again in the seventh with an RBI base hit from Nick Gill. After pinch-hitter Cole Stancil lined one into the left-center gap for the first hit of the inning and Rawdow was hit by a pitch, Taylor Perez scored on the base hit from Gill. After another walk and a wild pitch brought home two more runs for the Lions, Michael Callahan laced a ball right back up the box to bring home Moses. Then, with two men on base, Perez connected on his first collegiate homer, a three-run shot sent over the left-centerfield wall.
- The Lions tacked on a single run in the eighth when Gill, who reached on a Tritons error, scored on an RBI ground out from Blake Turner.
- Twitty finished the day 2-for-3 with two RBI coming on his towering homerun in the fourth inning
- Also finishing the day 2-for-3 was Brnovich
- Going 1-for-2 with 4 RBI was the freshman Perez. Perez' three-run blast in the seventh was first of his career.

- Teasley (4-3) was dominant on the mound—tossing seven complete innings, allowing no runs and six just hits while striking out 12.
- Revell went 2-for-4 with an RBI
FINAL (GAME 2): Saint Leo 13, Eckerd 2 – (St. Petersburg, Fla. –Turley Athletic Complex)

ECKERD STARTERS: Bishop (RF), Dunham (CF), Spinelle (3B), Hanson (1B), Vavasis (LF), Moreau (2B), Andrews (SS), Abraham (DH), Petika (C), Harding (P).
AT A GLANCE: Trailing 2-1 in the top of the fifth, Taed Moses put the game in the Lions' favor by hitting an opposite field grand slam to give Saint Leo a 5-2 lead. Saint Leo (28-12, 8-7 SSC) cruised the rest of the way behind 3.2 scoreless innings from Chris Williams en route to the win.
- Eckerd struck first in the game three, scoring two runs on RBI hits from Lincoln Dunham and Lee Spinelle in the bottom of the first
- The Lions got one run back in the fourth when Michael Revell reached base on a single and was eventually brought across home on a sacrifice fly from Frank Rawdow.
- Trailing 2-1 headed to the fifth the Lions found themselves with the bases loaded after Newcomb, Vitale, and Moses all drew walks. That brought Moses up to the plate who drove an outside pitch over the 365 sign in right-center field to give the Lions a 5-2 lead.
- With all of the momentum in the Lions favor, the Lions once again found themselves with the bases loaded. This time, Bobby Twitty smoked a liner up the middle that brought home two runs. After Moses walked to once again load the bases, Revell reached first on an RBI infield single. Brnovich then laced a ball that couldn't be handled by the Tritons' first baseman and two more runs came home to extend the Lions' lead to 9-2. The Lions brought home their 10th run of the game when Rawdow was hit by a pitch.
- Three more runs came home in the top of the seventh on an RBI HBP, a SAC fly, and an RBI ground out.
- Moses went 2-for-3 in game two with 4 RBI—all of them coming on his fifth inning grand slam.
- Revell went 2-for-3 with an RBI coming in the sixth inning.
- Brnovich collected two hits while also bringing home two runs.
- Chris Williams tossed 3.2 innings in relief—allowing no runs and just three hits.

Magpie Music in Chippenham tripled its takings on the weekend's Record Store Day compared to a normal Saturday.
The shop in the Market Place stocked special vinyl releases made exclusively for the day and sold out of Johnny Cash's With His Hot and Blue Guitar.
This debut album was released in 1957 and was out of print, but was remastered and reissued on an exclusive blue colour 12 inch vinyl for Record Store Day. Those who bought a copy have one of only 3,000 made.
Wiltshire singer-guitarist Chris Weston helped celebrate the day by playing two sets of his folk songs.
This year was the seventh Record Store Day, and a first for Magpie Music.
The record shop opened in 2009 but the owners say they have seen a boom in trade since moving from the attic downstairs in April last year.
Partner Kate Goodman said: "The move has made a huge difference, people know we are here now we have a shop window.
"Record Store Day is a great day, it brought a lot of new people in."

After reading Steve's "How to Grill" and "Barbecue Bible", I decided to pick up "BBQ USA". While browsing through the book, I came across the Trash-Can Turkey recipe on page# 414. The technique sounded very interesting, and I started to wonder if it would work on a whole lamb. In Morocco (as Steve mentioned) people cook a whole lamb in a clay enclosed oven. This trash-can method kind of reminded me of that.
I wonder if anyone had any experience with this or thought of trying it?
Here are my plans so far: First, I would keep the trashcan in upright poison (instead of inverted). Keeping the can in that position would allow me easy access to the meat (since I don't have a chart to go by). Second, I would put the lid on the can in upside down position. This will allow me to fill it with more coals. Third, I would use cement blocks to prevent the can from tipping. I was also thinking of putting few coals inside the trash can with some wood chunks and leave the lid off for the first half hour of cooking. This may give me some smoke flavor.
I wish Steve could give us his thoughts on this. In the mean while, if anyone have any input or suggestions on this idea, please share.

Author Q&A: Steve SternMay 11, 2010 • 1 Comment • category: Algonquin Books Blog
This week from Algonquin: Steve Stern's newest novel, The Frozen Rabbi. Stern has been writing for over twenty-five years, earning high praise for his Yiddish-folklore-inspired novels, short-story collections, and children's books. He's won the O. Henry Award, the Pushcart Writers' Choice Award, and the National Jewish Book Award.
We asked him a few questions and he gave us a few answers–I get the feeling that he's as dark and pithy in real life as he is in his novels (at least, I hope so). Also, for a little clarity on number 4, it's a quote from a novella in this collection, by Stern.
1. Describe your new book in one sentence.
The Frozen Rabbi is a cautionary tale detailing the perils that ensue when a novel by the young Philip Roth falls into the wrong hands.
2. Where do you do your best writing?
In my panic room.
3. What is your motto or maxim?
No fun intended.
4. Do you have any secret skills (besides writing, of course)?
"I can fish, fight, fart, screw, fly a kite and drive a truck…"
5. Describe the plot of the first story you remember writing.
The plot of my first story revolved around my mother's abduction by a crew of pirates. She ultimately prevails, becoming the captain of the pirate ship and enjoining the crew to wash their hands before and after cutting the throats of their victims.
6. If you had to change professions, and needed no credentials, what would you do?
I always wanted to be either an insurance actuary or a tight-rope walker.
7. Which band would you like to have follow you around, playing the soundtrack to your life?
Spike Jones and His City Slickers.
8. Where do you hope to catch people reading your new book?
In Heaven.
9. What is your all-time-absolute-favorite book?
C. Willett and Phillis Cunnington's The History of Underclothes.
10. What books have you read recently that you'd recommend?
Edna Ferber's Fanny Herself–no kidding!

Tucked away in the lush, green rolling hills of Calabasas, California, are the ten landscaped acres of the Los Angeles Pet Memorial Park. Founded and dedicated on September 4, 1928, the park provides a serene and peaceful resting place for over 40,000 animal companions. S.O.P.H.I.E. Inc. (Save Our Pet's History in Eternity), a not-for-profit organization whose membership is comprised of pet owners and friends committed to the preservation of this beautiful sanctuary, which sponsored the first state law ever enacted to protect pet cemeteries. This resulted in 1986 in the legal dedication of the park as a pet cemetery in perpetuity.
Saying goodbye to your pet is an emotionally difficult time. The caring professionals at the park can take care of making arrangements for cremation or burial services, whether your need is immediate or anticipated. Burials and cremations are tailored to suit the personal preferences, religious beliefs and financial considerations of every pet owner. The park offers 24-hour pick-up service, single or multiple in-ground burials, private cremations only, mausoleum or in-ground cremain interment, memorial markers, flowers and a huge variety of urns.
Just opening is a gift store tailored to pet lovers. The park is open for visitation every day of the year, and a stroll around the beautiful grounds will reveal the gravesites of Hopalong Cassidy's horse "Topper," Rudolph Valentino's dog "Kabar," the Little Rascals' "Pete" and many other animal "celebrities."
The Los Angeles Pet Memorial Park is located off the 101 Freeway at Parkway Calabasas at 5068 N. Old Scandia Lane, Calabasas, CA 91372. For more information, call (818) 591-7037.

What should you do with your dyed hard-boiled eggs? Host a Deviled Egg Cook Off, or course! We challenged the Cooking Channel and Food Network digital staffs to just such an event. What creative riff on the deviled egg came away the winner?
Eight people stepped up to participate in the competition, though pretty much everyone in the office showed up to be a taster.
Kristine Brabson did a call out on Food.com's Facebook page to see what she should make. "Loaded Deviled Eggs" was the overwhelming choice; who can resist bacon?
Kirsten Vala entered beet-pickled deviled eggs, bringing a bit of color to the competition.
Leora Schachter brought two holidays together with her Passover Eggs, made up of the usual suspects plus horseradish mayo, kosher dill pickles, and pickle juice.
But in the end, the competition came down to two unique takes on deviled eggs: Deviled Mary Shooter and Curried Deviled Eggs.
Sarah De Heer's Bloody Mary Shooters had all the elements of their namesake drink worked into the dish: tomato juice, celery salt, Worcestershire sauce, and even vodka made it in (layered beneath the filling, so it would soak into the filling).
Michelle Buffardi dressed her deviled eggs up with a touch of curry powder and then topped them off with cilantro and chives.
The two eggs came out even-steven in the vote count: When you have a tie in a deviled egg competition, does that mean there has to be an Egg Off?
Still deciding what to make for Easter? Don't miss:
