Montreal - McLaren's Lewis Hamilton stormed to a Canadian Grand Prix victory on Sunday to become a magnificent seventh winner in seven Formula 1 races this season and seize the championship lead.
The Briton had to mount a ferocious charge after his second pitstop, banging in a series of fastest laps to reel in Red Bull's reigning world champion Sebastian Vettel and Ferrari's Fernando Alonso.
Frenchman Romain Grosjean was second in a Lotus, a career best, with Mexican Sergio Perez third in a Sauber after overtaking Alonso - a driver he may end up partnering next season if he continues to impress.
It was Hamilton's third win in Montreal, an island circuit where he took his first grand prix triumph in 2007, in five attempts.
The 2008 champion, who also stood on top of the podium in Canada in 2010, had his most worrying moments in the two pitstops - McLaren's weak point this season - but on the track he was unstoppable.
"What a great feeling, this is where I won my first Grand Prix and I knew today would be a tough, tough race but I loved every single minute of it," said Hamilton, who now has 88 points to Alonso's 86 and Vettel's 85.
Brandishing the British flag as he stepped out of the car after a gripping finale, he hugged his mechanics while girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger kissed his visor.
"It's been five years since I won here the first time but it feels just as good. It feels great to be on the top step, we never take it for granted," he said.
"This for me feels like one of the very best races I have had for a long time."
Vettel had started from pole, just like last year, and led the early part of the 70 lap race but lost pace over the final laps to finish fourth in a grand prix that his Red Bull team have yet to win.
Spaniard Alonso, bidding to give resurgent Ferrari a victory on the 30th anniversary of the tragic death of former-Ferrari great Gilles Villeneuve but struggling on worn tyres at the finish, had to settle for fifth. - Reuters

GoRuck recently launched a new website specifically for the GoRuck Challenge, with a list of Challenges going on in US cities for the rest of the year. See the event calendar here. I fully plan on participating in either the Tampa or Jacksonville events in November.
I often get asked what exactly is GoRuck and why anyone would want to do it. Is it a race? Is it a night time marathon? How physically demanding is the thing? Do you have to be batshit crazy to do one? Do you really carry bricks in your backpack? My answer is this…GoRuck isn't a race where you're competing against other people to cross the finish line first. It is a team challenge, where every person in the "class" will work together to overcome physical and mental adversity to finish. In military terms, it is an "evolution." You will be running and humping 30 – 40 LBS in a GoRuck pack. It does take a special kind of crazy to want to do one, because it's so physically demanding, but I believe every person has it within them finish. It is a test of character, willpower, fortitude, courage, mind and body, and any athlete should submit themselves to those tests every so often. This is not a status quo event. This is taking the status quo and crushing it underneath your boot. If you're considering doing a GoRuck Challenge and you're on the fence, come off the fence, get dirty, and make it happen. If you want details about my experience with Class 007, see here.
One thing I've discovered is that GoRuck keeps rewarding you well after you've completed it. You'll form close bonds with your classmates, something that can't be bought or easily formed elsewhere, and those connections will follow you. I ran into an athlete from my Class 007 at the recent Muddy Buddy Orlando and we spent time catching up, rehashing GoRuck, and talked about meeting for other competitions. Those are the kinds of connections you want as an athlete. Just try wearing your GoRuck hat around…if another GoRucker sees you wearing it, you've got an instant friend and conversation.
Besides the social aspect, GoRuck has been a catalyst for me for approaching other boundaries and blowing throw them. In the last couple of months I've set new personal records in a bunch of lifts and I've attempted stuff I wouldn't have tried before. My attitude about training and competition is subtly different. I no longer have a fear of the unknown. I crave difficulty and I want challenges that are ridiculously, sometimes stupidly, hard. Again, that attitude and lack of fear isn't something you can easily obtain. It's worth it's weight in gold.
Since I'll be training for another GoRuck Challenge later in the year, I'll be writing a series of training posts leading up to it with pics and video. Watch this space for all the goodness.
One last thing. For $160 ($120 for early birds), this is the best personal development money can buy. Consider that SealFit's Kokoro Camp costs $1300 for a weekend camp, it's obvious GoRuck is a major bargain.

How about if I have A LOT OF LITTLE spider veins all over leg / thigh? I mean a LOT. If I go with sclerotherapy, does it mean that each and every little vein would have to be injected? I assume that would be quite painful?
How to Get Rid of a Lot of Little Spider Veins?
Doctor Answers 4
Covering Spider Veins with Cosmetics is Only Masking a Progressive Problem
Covering spider veins with a cosmetic only covers a problem that is in need of treatment. These telangiectasias, aka spider veins have feeder veins that need to be injected in interupted surgically - in addition to sclerotherapy or laser therapy of the spider veins. Otherwise, over time you will get more spider veins and some will break down, extravasate blood, deposit hemosiderin in your skin and cause permanent bronzing of the skin. It will look bronze brown in color and may never go away. So, get them evaluated and treated early and do not mask them with expensive cosmetics that don't solve the problem.
Spider Vein Treatment
Hi Ally,
Getting rid of spider veins (even when you have LOTS of them) is a lot easier than you think. That said, I'd choose a physician who has specific experience/training in sclerotherapy (treatment of leg veins through injections) and who can also evaluate you for deeper (perforator or greater saphenous) vein incompetence.
Think of your leg veins as being similar to trees. The spider veins are the leaves of the tree and the underlying blue network of less prominant - though still subtly visible - veins (reticular veins) are the tree branches. If you simply treat the spider veins (leaves), you are not addressing the root of the problem (the tree branches/reticular veins that are supplying the spider veins). Thus, laser or injection treatment only to the spider veins can result in a temporary improvement in appearance, but, chances are the spider veins will subsequently recur. This is because the blue network of veins supplying the spider veins were not treated.
All of this can be done easily in clinic with minimal discomfort and no downtime.
Spider veins, sclerotherapy, ultrasound, endovenous ablation, vein valves
If you have a lot of spider veins you may have an underlying reason for this. One of the most common causes of both spider veins and varicose veins is malfunctioning of the valves in the saphenous vein system which is essentially the trunk feeding the superficial leg veins. If the valves don't close properly(reflux), then this can lead to back up of blood into the skin to cause both spider and varicose veins. A large number of spider veins would suggest valvular reflux. You should have a venous reflux ultrasound to evaluate the valves which will then help to determine treatment such as sclerotherapy alone or in combination with closure of the leaking valves. Often times many of the spider veins interconnect and, therefore, you may not need as many injections as you may think. Also we now have better sclerotherapy solutions and small needles which make the treatment much more tolerable.

Getting rid of a lot of spider veins
When we see patients with lots of spider veins in the legs, it's often part of a bigger circulatory problem. When these small veins are very numerous and very close together it can indicate that the main vein structure is not working as well as it should be.
Before performing laser treatments in this situation (we treat only spider veins using only lasers at our facility) we recommend visiting a vascular surgeon for an ultrasound to determine how the main vein structure looks. We suggest you do the same.

On March 1, students were invited to several focus groups, one for first years and sophomores and one for juniors and seniors, to discuss the food services on campus with representatives from a food services consultant. In an all-student email, Associate Dean of Students and Director of Residence Life Joanne Goldwater said, "The college has engaged the services of a food services consultant, Porter Khouw, to help us envision what our food services facilities, operations, and board plans should like in the future." The consultations are part of a 10 to 15 year master plan for the future of the campus.
The focus groups, held in Campus Center 228, were well-attended by students from all years. The session began with noting the positive aspects of Bon Appetit's service, such as the effort to provide a variety of dishes and the recent experimentation with food composting. However, the majority of the session was a discussion of the flaws of the campus dining experience. The biggest issue was the lack of variety for vegetarian and vegan students. The vegetarian section of the dining hall reportedly is very small and does not offer an adequate or healthy selection for vegetarians and vegans. As one student put it, "Anyone who isn't an omnivore gets the incredibly short end of the stick."
Other large concerns from students were the short and inconvenient Great Room hours, the lack of health benefits of the food at the Great Room and The Pub, the poor quality and variety of food on the weekends, and the "ridiculous" blocks-to-dollars ratio. The students all agreed that an extension of the hours would drastically improve the dining experience at St. Mary's, and another alternative location to get food, such as the River Center, would be more convenient for all.
Overall, students in attendance thought the event was a helpful outreach effort by the College. "In the sense that it represents the start of a process that will hopefully lead to long-term improvement, I would say that this was an excellent first step," said first-year Jonathan Holtzman.
This open forum was merely one part of a grand vision for the future of the college. "It's an opportune time to do this assessment," said Chip Jackson, Associate Vice President for Planning and Facilities. "Bon Appetit…runs on five year contracts… Next fall, we will be beginning the solicitation for any food service operator to compete for the next five year contract. Doing this kind of assessment now is useful as we go into the next step…it's a lot easier to make certain choices come true at the end of a contract period."
The food service evaluation is one facet of the 10-15 year master plan in motion for the College, just at the beginning stages this March. "We're doing an overall campus master plan which [deals with] facilities issues in general and then as subsets of that, there is a series of special studies that kind of act as feed-ins to help educate the process. One of them is food service master planning as a special study," said Luke Mowbray, Facilities Planner and Sustainability Coordinator for the College.
"We are examining food services on campus from a variety of different perspectives, one being location, type, and orientation and design of facilities, the other being meal plan structures, so blocks versus flex and how that works for students….also customer satisfaction with the food options," said Mowbray.

I've been receiving Botox injections since I was 22 years old to prevent the wrinkles of my forehead from becoming permanent. I've been so occupied with my forehead that I neglected the rest of my face. Im a full time student and I work, so needless to say I lack sleep.

Egg Paratha are my kids favorite dish and I make it often for their breakfast. It is a simple dish but quite filling and delicious. Egg Roll is nothing but egg paratha wrapped with some fresh vegetables, sauces and chaat masala. This Egg Roll is one of the popular street food of North India. Very simple and easy to make kids friendly recipe, not only kids this is perfect for adults too.

Bread Roll Recipe | Bread Potato Rolls | Bread Rolls Stuffed With Potato - Easy After School Snack For Kids
Soya Bread Roll Recipe Here. But after trying this roll I came to know that my thought wasn't true, thanks to my friend Shweta for suggesting this recipe. I had some left over aloo/potato masala and few bread slices in hand, then remembered about her fried version of bread roll and tried immediately. To be on safer side I just rest the shaped bread rolls in paper towel for 5 minutes so that the excess moisture will be absorbed by the paper towel. The fried bread rolls were so crispy and delicious and they are not oily/greasy and also didn't consume much oil. So once in a while you can serve kids the deep fried bread roll with their desired vegetable or meat filling.

Punjabi Fruit Chaat Recipe | Indian Fruit Chaat Recipe | Mixed Fruit Chaat - Street Food Recipe
Tamarind Sweet Chutney. She used Sweet Potato for the chaat, but she also said that regular potato/aloo can also included in the fruit chaat but usually they are deep fried than boiled. Also the sweet potatoes pairs well with tamarind sweet chutney. .For this chaat, i used Dates Tamarind Chutney but you can also use plain Tamarind Sweet Chutney (without dates)This fruit chaat is healthy, filling and delicious. Do try this fruit chaat for a change and I am sure you will love it.

Banana Chocolate Chip Bread Recipe | Banana Bread In Toaster Oven Recipe
Eggless Banana Almond Bread recipe and this time baked with some chocolate chips. This banana bread is lighter than the eggless banana bread. I saved this recipe from a magazine, only I reduced the sugar quantity and butter, as I don't have sufficient butter I replaced it with oil. Banana Bread turned out good and again i baked this banana chocolate chip bread in my toaster oven/counter top convection oven.
My kids loved this bread and they enjoyed their breakfast without any complaints. Not only my kids I too enjoyed this rich banana bread and planning to make it again with some nuts & dry fruit combo. Now off to the recipe

Vendhaya Keerai Puli Kuzhambu Recipe | Methi Leaves Puli Kuzhambu | Methi Tamarind Curry | Keerai Puli Kulambu(without coconut) Recipe
puli kuzhambu without coconut & vegetables and if it is with veggies, it will be Vendakkai Puli Kuzhambu with coconut. My favorite is Puli kuzhambu without coconut with lots of pearl onions(chinna vengayam) & garlic. Puli Kuzhambu tastes best with sesame oil and homemade kuzhambu milagai thool & coriander powder. I always prefer Sesame oil(nalla ennai) for all south Indian kuzhambu recipes except for Masal Kuzhambu.

Unless you've been hiding in a Unbound Worlds-shielded bomb shelter somewhere (Which, if so, get your money back: Our geekish radiation penetrates even the most sturdy of shelters.) then you'll know that we're extremely excited about the publication of Andy Weir's amazing novel The Martian. Apparently, we aren't the only ones!
During a recent Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything – kind of a collective interview with the Reddit community), Weir mentioned that he had a few fans at NASA!

HEARTSTART Knutsford will be helping more people than ever before thanks to a new partnership with Wythenshawe Hospital.
The University Hospital of South Manchester Cardiac (UHSM) Rehabilitation Centre is to utilise Knutsford's Heartstart course as part of its exercise and education programmes.
Adrian Rees, Chairman of Knutsford Community First Responder Trust and Knutsford Community Heartstart Coordinator, said: "This is a fantastic accolade for Knutsford Community Heartstart; to be recognised as a Training Centre of Excellence by one of the country's main Cardiac Rehab Centres.
"Over the coming months we will be training an increasing number of Wythenshawe Hospital's cardiac patients being referred to us by the Cardiac Rehab Team."
The first Wythenshawe patient to benefit from this link was Andrew King, who attended the June Heartstart course with his partner. He said: "The course was very informative, essential and valuable, run by a great team of people passionate with helping people learn the right skills to help save lives. It is 2.5 hours of your time well worth spending at Knutsford Heartstart."
Knutsford Heartstart was formed in 2002 and is run and administered by Knutsford Community First Responders Trust.
Adrian added: "Since we launched our dedicated web-site for Knutsford Heartstart in February this year we have seen a significant increase in Knutsford residents booking places on our life saving course.
"Such is the demand that we have decided to hold our course every month from now on, rather than our previous arrangement of every second month. Bookings for 2014 are already twice that of last year; more and more Knutsford residents are realising how critically important it is to learn the basic life saving skills taught on our Heartstart course."
Book your place now
THE free 2.5 hour Heartstart course covers a variety of emergency situations, including dealing with a heart attack, dealing with an unconscious patient (recovery position), resuscitation, choking, life-threatening bleeds and how to use a defibrillator.
Below are the confirmed course dates for 2014/2015: 2014: September 4, October 2, November 6, December 4 2015: January 1, February 5, March 5, April 2, May 7, June 4, July 2, August 6, September 3, October 1, November 5, December 3.
All courses start at 7pm at Knutsford Methodist Church.

Recent winner of the Academy Award® for Best Documentary Short Subject, Freeheld is a moving, 38-minute documentary that chronicles New Jersey Police Lieutenant Laurel Hester's struggle to transfer her earned pension to her domestic partner, Stacie Andree. With less than six months to live, Laurel refuses to back down when her elected officials - the Ocean County Freeholders - deny her request to leave her pension to Stacie, an automatic option for heterosexual married couples.
The film is structured chronologically, following both the escalation of Laurel's battle with the Freeholders and the decline of her health as cancer spreads to her brain. As Laurel's plight intensifies, it spurs a frenzy in the media and a passionate advocacy campaign. At the same time, Freeheld captures a quieter, personal story: that of the deep love between Laurel and Stacie as they face the reality of losing each other. Alternating from packed public demonstrations at the county courthouse to quiet, tender moments of Laurel and Stacie at home, Freeheld combines tension-filled political drama with personal detail, creating a nuanced study of a grassroots fight for justice.
Speaking on the potential impact of the film six weeks before she died, Laurel continues, "I hope this film will inspire someone.... I hope it gives them courage to deal with homosexuality, if that's what they're dealing with. I hope it gives them courage if they're dealing with discrimination, as I have. I hope if they have a terminal disease that they somehow get hope from listening to my story."
In addition to its Academy Award® win, Freeheld also received the Special Jury Prize at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. Freeheld has now been screened at 58 festivals, in 8 countries, and has received 13 awards. Freeheld also had an eight city theatrical release during the summer of 2007 in conjunction with LGBT PRIDE events across the country.
About the Filmmaker: Cynthia Wade directed and shot the five-time award-winning HBO documentary Shelter Dogs, which was broadcast in seven countries. She directed and edited the award-winning 1999 Cinemax documentary Grist for the Mill. Wade was co-producer/cinematographer for the 1998 PBS documentary Taken In: The Lives of America's Foster Children, which won a prestigious duPont Columbia Award for Excellence in Journalism. Wade has been Director of Photography for PBS, HBO/Cinemax, A&E, Discovery, The History Channel, MTV, AMC, Oxygen, and TNT.
Starting this month, Cinemax Reel Life will begin premiering all four of this year's Oscar®-nominated documentary shorts. In addition to June's Oscar®-winner, Freeheld, the films include Sari's Mother and Salim Baba, both scheduled to premiere in July, and La Corona (The Crown), currently slated for September.
