Recent Cruise Completed for the North Carolina Regional Coastal Erosion Study
The sea-floor-mapping group at the Woods Hole Field Center (WHFC) has completed its third year of cruises, compiling work that has imaged the inner continental shelf from False Cape, VA, to Cape Hatteras, NC, as part of the North Carolina Regional Coastal Erosion Study. This survey encompasses an area approximately 90 nautical miles long by 5 nautical miles wide, extending seaward from approximately 8-m water depth (nearshore) to 25- to 30-m water depth (inner continental shelf).
In June and July 2002, two scientific parties from the WHFC conducted a research cruise aboard the merchant vessel Atlantic Surveyor that mapped about half the survey area. Participants on the first leg were Rob Thieler, Dave Foster, Dave Nichols, Erika Hammar-Klose, Chris Polloni, and Chuck Worley. After a crew change halfway through the cruise, Tom O'Brien, Bill Danforth, Caroline Roberts, Mark Capone, and Seth Ackerman joined Rob and Chris for the second leg. Both the weather and the scientific equipment (interferometric sidescan/bathymetry, sidescan, CHIRP, and boomer subbottom profilers) were very cooperative, allowing maximum time for science.
It is clear from the data gathered over the past 3 years that the nearshore sediment budget is coupled to the inner-shelf sediment budget in complex but understandable ways, which are determined primarily by antecedent geology (the distribution and composition of ancient rocks and sediment) and modern physical processes. Cooperative work conducted by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science is extending this geophysical framework from the nearshore to the beach, where it ties into U.S. Geological Survey studies of beach change using LIDAR (LIght Detection And Ranging) and SWASH (Surveying Wide-Area SHorelines) beach-survey techniques.

Thank you for your patience while we revamp parts of the website.
a) Our Economy Sleeper Train (Tourist Class) & Economy Seated Train (3rd Class) are the most affordable long distance train travel options available in South Africa and are accommodated on the Shosholoza Train, a division of PRASA.
There are no luxuries on-board therefore expect a camping / backpackers'
experience at best, with basic facilities, in a reasonable condition. If you
require a better quality train trip we have premier class train available at about 4 times the
price on the Johannesburg >> Cape Town >> Johannesburg route. These tickets include meals, bedding, air-conditioned compartments and
semi-luxury facilities.
b) Safety: There are security staff and porters at the train stations and only ticket-holders are allowed on the platform. On the train there is also a train manager and staff to assist you with some basic requests.
c) The economy sleeper train can be a lot of fun for kids, the adventurous, backpackers, young adults, the young at heart, camping & hiking enthusiasts, school groups, students and sport teams.
d) Traveling by economy train can be a noisy experience, with the clickity-clack of the rails, the odd passing train, and guests in neighboring compartments, but it still remains an enjoyable experience for those who don't mind a bit of noise.
a) The Economy Train is divided into seated coaches on the one end and sleeper coaches on the other end with the kitchen and usually a dining-car in between. This normally keeps the seated passengers away from the sleeping compartments.

b) The sleeping compartments can seat between 3 and 6 guests and has a fold-down table for meals or space to do some work. There is also a washbasin underneath the fold-down table, but bring your own water as some taps don't work. The seats fold up and down to create between 2 and 6 sleeping spaces, narrower than a single bed. There are 1-2 lower sleeping spaces available for those who do not want to sleep high up.
c) Seated coaches can seat +/-72 guests in bus style seats facing in one direction, and have 4 toilets per coach and luggage racks for your luggage.
d) Compartments are usually clean, but we recommend you take some wet-wipes / disinfectant along to wipe down where needed.
e) If you are looking for a relaxing, quiet trip with comfort and luxuries, please DO NOT book this train, but rather ask us about the semi-luxury or luxury Sleeper Trains or Tours.

a) The bathroom facilities are basic, similar to those of a basic campsite or public toilets at a large event. Toilet paper, hot-water and clean facilities are usually available, but come prepared. (We recommend showering at home before boarding the train, if you don't want to stand in a queue. Also bring your own toilet paper just in case)
b) Trains are usually a little behind schedule and are sometimes a couple of hours late on long trips. (Please do not book transport or activities before you arrive at the station)

find these oranges
soon. I keep forgetting to post about these because they are just oranges, so how interesting could they really be? VERY interesting, if you must know. Interesting enough that I've been eating at least 2 per day for the last month and a half.
The Cara Cara.
Aren't they pretty with their rosy fruit? Pretty is all good and fine, but pretty isn't the point. They are so amazingly delicious I cannot stop thinking about them. And here's the sad part: limited season. You can only get them this time of year at our markets, (jan, feb, march), so you'd best be locating them soon. I'm going over to the farmers market at lunch to fill my baggu with our weekly supply. Actually semi-weekly supply because we just bought a bunch on Sunday and they are gone.
I've seen them at Whole Foods too, but if at all possible try to get them from a farmer. I don't want you to be disappointed when you taste the Whole Foods variety and think they are just the same as regular navels. I assure you they are not. They are super sweet and super tangy at the same time. Literally perfection.

A Happy Valentine's Day!
Aren't these love birds beautiful?
The talented Mindy Raymond was so sweet to make them for me after I spent a bit of time coveting them from her wonderful blog ;)
The paper that she used is photocopies of her great great grandmother's journal ~ isn't that special?! Be sure to visit her blog ~ she is a prolific wool applique artist with a beautiful prim home!
I thought I would share a few of my Valentine decorations today...
Love the beautiful faded colors of these antique Valentines.
Love the beautiful faded colors of these antique Valentines.
These are notecards made by the uber talented Lana Manis of Honeysuckle Lane and Simple Joys Paperie. I bought them a few years ago, with the intention of using them, but they are so beautiful, that I decided that I had to frame them and keep them for my very own...

Woman's Day may earn money from the links on this page.
You'll learn how to coupon, budget, and even invest with the best of them.
When you want an easy way to put money back in your pocket, yes, there really is an app for that. Whether you want to get better at couponing, figure out what the heck investing is, or create a budget you'll actually stick to, these are the downloads that will help you save some major moola.
Save money while doing next to nothing with this easy-to-use app. Once it's linked to your checking account, Digit automatically analyzes your income and spending, then transfers a few dollars into an FDIC-insured savings account every day. You can instruct the app via text message to save more or less, and it's easy to withdraw money at any time. "There's a no overdraft guarantee, but watch your account regardless and be aware that Digit is periodically taking money out," says Coupons.com savings expert Jeanette Pavini. Digit is free for 100 days, then $3 a month.
Did you know that your credit card's rewards programs are always changing? Luckily, Wallaby tracks its most recent promotions and recommends the one you should swipe to maximize your points and cash back. Business travelers, take note: "If you don't have a company card and have to use a card of your own, Wallaby can track points for hotels and airlines, increasing your chances of getting a return," Pavini says.
First, link your loyalty accounts for stores like Walmart, Costco, and Target to this app and it'll collect all of your digital coupons in one place. Then, before you shop use the app to select the coupons you want to use. When you scan your loyalty card at checkout, the app automatically applies the savings. If there is no loyalty program, you can also use coupons retroactively. Simply select relevant coupons and snap a photo of your receipt. You'll receive the difference in price as cash back to your PayPal account.
This money-saving app is ideal for those who want to stay on top of their finances but find it hard to stay organized. "The only way you're going to do that is if you're aware of your spending and savings over time," Pavini says. Simply link your credit, checking, and savings accounts to Mint, and it'll start tracking your income, expenses, and investments. Before you know it you'll have a clearer financial picture that helps you easily set budgets and goals.
Every time you make a purchase, Acorns rounds up the total amount to the nearest dollar and invests the difference, essentially turning your pocket change into small investments. But how do you know what to invest in? The pros handle that; all you have to do is answer a questionnaire about your fiscal situation and goals. Based on your responses, the app recommends one of five portfolios of diverse stocks and bonds. You make your choice, then set up automatic daily, weekly, or monthly investments. As an early user you'll pay $1 for the app's services; if you acquire over $5,000, you'll pay 0.25% annually.
There's nothing worse than filling up at a gas station only to drive a block down the road and see that price was lower. That's why GasBuddy was created — it uses your location to recommend the cheapest gas stations near you, and Pavini says it's updated by timestamped user reports so you can see how long ago someone filled up. The app's trip calculator feature is also handy when you need to tally how much gas you'll buy on a road trip, and when and where to refill. Just input your start and end locations, along with the make, model, and year of your car, and it'll tell you the most wallet-friendly place to pull over.
Browse through hundreds of products on Target Cartwheel and you could easily save 5-50% in Target stores nationwide. If you see a deal you like, simply save it on your "list" (you can put up to 50 of 'em on there), then scan your app's barcode at checkout to redeem your savings. Best part: This is not a one-time-only situation, as you reuse Cartwheel deals until their expiration date. If you pay with a REDcard, you can also save an additional 5% every time you swipe, Pavini says.
Prism streamlines bill-paying by allowing you to monitor and pay bills in one place. In the app, link the account for, say, your cable bill, as well as that of your bank, and Prism will remind you when the bill is due.
Goodbudget modernizes envelope budgeting, allowing you to designate an amount for groceries, entertainment, and the like. Log each purchase and stop spending when your envelopes are empty.
Personal Capital analyzes your investment portfolio and tracks your net worth. The app also has an in-depth retirement planner that reveals whether or not you're on target for your golden years.
Quickbooks Self-Employed starts at $5 per month, but it's worth it as it helps freelancers tally income and expenses, and even tracks mileage automatically by connecting to your phone's GPS.
Invoice by Wave allows contractors, consultants, freelancers, and small-business owners to create, track, and send customized invoices, receipts, estimates, and reminders.
PocketGuard keeps an eagle eye on daily spending to help you adjust to a lower income. The app's fun "in your pocket" feature uses your account information and income to advise you if you can afford a specific purchase, like a new skirt.
Clarity Money can help you make a fresh start by alerting you to unwanted or unused subscriptions that may be quietly draining your budget.
Albert Genius answers your spending, saving, and budgeting questions via text. For example, ask, "What's the cheapest moving service in Chicago?" and the app will provide near-instant answers based on your linked accounts and spending history.
Qapital helps you save little by little and gets creative with how much money you set aside and when. For example, you can direct the app to save $3 toward a trip to Chicago every time you buy pizza, or tell it to put aside a dollar whenever you clock in at work.
Tip Yourself allows you to easily put money in your "tip jar" any time you do something you deem tip-worthy, like going to the gym, avoiding an impulse buy, or making coffee instead of buying it.
This money-saving app allows you to choose and invest in a wide selection of stocks without paying commissions or fees. Plus, with no account minimum, you can try the stock market without tying up hundreds or thousands of dollars.
You know the company offers room and home rentals, often for less than hotel rates. Now Airbnb has added the opportunity to book unique low-cost experiences in dozens of cities around the world, all hosted by locals. Example: You can try activities like cheese-tasting in Park City, UT, for $25, or a scavenger hunt in Portland, OR, for $19.
An app that offers thousands of discount codes, searchable by store, category, and special dates like Mother's Day and July 4. If you allow Coupon Sherpa to access your phone's location, it will offer coupons for stores nearby.
SnipSnap eliminates the need to clip coupons from flyers or magazines. Instead, take a photo of the coupon and the app will convert the image into a bar code for the store's cashier to scan.

I don't think it's a secret that I love nail varnish. It is a very rare occasion that I won't have my nails painted at least one colour and I tend to change them up every few days. I find painted nails are the perfect way to finish off any outfit so it's only natural that I own more than I'll ever need. With this in mind I thought I'd share a few of my Models Own polishes!
I fell for Models Own polishes a few years ago now, they're great value and offer great, long lasting coverage. I love the bottle sales rooms at larger shopping malls and the 6 for £20 deal is always a winner with the wide range of colours and finishes.
I thought I'd start with probably my favourite of Models Own polishes - the glitter.
Not only are these super long lasting but just two coats offers amazing solid glitter. I love mixing and matching my glitters and there's such a wide variety across the range. These can be a bit of a nightmare to get off, as can any polish but I always use a glitter off base coat which means removal doesn't take hours!
I haven't swatched these on my nails, purely because I wanted to share so many and not end up with red finger tips from removing millions of different colours!
Left to right is; Bluebelle, Valerian, Mermaid Tears Splash, Purple Haze, Juicy Jules and Emerald City.
You'll have to excuse the bottles covered in blue. Sadly one of my blue polishes shattered during my move and went everywhere! By the time I got round to fishing them out of a box, it had already dried! I brought 3 colours from the Chrome collection and if I'm honest I was a bit gutted.
I expected an almost liquid like finish but was left with a mere metallic. In reality it's slightly less glittery than a metallic but no where near the chrome I was hoping for. I don't use these a great deal but I've kept hold of them just incase!
I have already completely reviewed these polishes and you can find that here - Models Own Haul.
Left to right; Chrome Silver, Chrome Pink, Chrome Gold
I bloody love the HyperGel range! It's the convenience of gel nails without the hassle! They offer gorgeous colours that last a good few days without UV lamps or the long removal process.
I do have a few more from the HyperGel range but they are still in a box waiting to be unpacked. It's my second bottle of the blue as it's such an utterly gorgeous colour and just reminds me of a lovely summers day.
The consistency of these is slightly thicker than traditional polishes but the long lasting effect of it really is worth it. They don't even take too long to dry, winner!
Left to right; Turquoise, Blue Glint, Purple Orchid
This lot are mixed collections across the Models Own range, from Festival colours to Smashup shades!
Generally I adore every polish but I have found some of the lighter and brighter colours are a bit wishy washy and really do need a good few coats to get a decent colour.
I'm a bit impatient and hate having to build up layers upon layers of colour but the end result is worth the effort!
I have two SmashUp colours that I brought when they were still on trend but rarely use anymore. They are gorgeous shades but do have a chalky finish so do need a gloss top coat!
Left to right; Purple Bandana, Cocktail Hour, Smash Up Pink, Shades, Beach Bag, Lilac Dream, Pink Punch
The final four I can find are these beauties. Again a mix bunch but worth mentioning!
The red is the most gorgeous, glam rock red ever. I feel like I'm in a 1980's music video everytime I'm wearing it! Two coats and it's true to bottle shade.
Speckled Egg Collection was another collection I wasn't overwhelmed with but I have continued to use. I also have this in blue and purple somewhere but I find these a bit a seasonal.
This black was a total life changer for me. I generally have black nails, I love them and this is perfect. I've tried hundreds of blacks over the year and this is my favourite. Quick drying, long lasting and a gorgeous deep black!
Lastly is Smash Up Silver, again one I purchased when cracked nails were on trend and one I don't use very often any more.
Left to right; Red Alert, Dove, Black Magic, Smash Up Silver.
Have you tried anything from Models Own?
Until next time,

Gates calls for better PC security
Microsoft Corp. Chairman Bill Gates issued a call in San Jose Tuesday for better and simpler approaches to making computers more secure in the face of increased dangers.
Microsoft has long come under fire for being too easy a target for criminal hackers, and Gates acknowledged that his company bears a large responsibility in this area. But he also said the entire computing industry needs to get together to build a "trust ecosystem."
"It's a very ambitious goal, but I think it can be achieved," Gates said in his keynote address at the RSA Conference, a major gathering of computer security experts that has brought 14,000 people and 275 companies to the San Jose Convention Center.
MBA BY THE BAY: See how an MBA could change your life with SFGATE's interactive directory of Bay Area programs.
His speech came on the heels of Microsoft's announcement last week that it will start selling a consumer security product, Windows OneCare Live, for $49.95 starting in June.
Gates' message met with both enthusiasm and skepticism. Tom Noonan, chief executive of Internet Security Systems of Atlanta, who will deliver a keynote address at RSA on Thursday, said Microsoft is selling a separate security product "instead of fixing vulnerabilities they created in the first place."
Noonan counted Microsoft among other big tech companies that are "guilty parties" and "charlatans" for causing vulnerabilities and then, when the market for security appears hot, try to cash in on it.
Similarly, Sun Microsystems' Chief Executive Officer Scott McNealy -- a longtime Microsoft critic -- followed Gates on the RSA stage with a speech that in part echoed Gates' call for industry solutions, but also blasted Microsoft for causing many of today's security problems. He said because Microsoft's Windows operating system holds a near monopoly on PC desktops, "one virus can knock out the entire government. There's not enough genetic diversity on the desktop."
McNealy said the solution lies in open-source software systems, like Linux or products that his company sells.
In an interview after the speeches, Amy Roberts, director of Microsoft's Security, Business and Technology unit, defended the company against the charges. "Since Bill issued his 'trustworthy computing' memo and called the company to task" four years ago, she said, "the company has done a tremendous amount to focus on security as job one. ... Microsoft has a great track record in the past several years of focusing on security with better tools, better guidance, and working with law enforcement around the world to bring hackers to justice."
The next version of Microsoft's operating system, Vista, is due for release late this year, and it will include many new security features. One unveiled by Gates on Tuesday is "InfoCard," a technology that will support smart cards -- essentially wallet-size cards embedded with a thin computer chip that Gates said will represent an improvement over the plethora of passwords people have to remember today.
"Microsoft saw a huge security weakness, and of all the available technologies, the smart card is the best," said Damon Turnbull, marketing director for Axalto, an Austin, Texas, company that makes smart cards. Marvin Tansley, a vice president of product management for Axalto, said smart cards are already widely used in Europe, Canada and Mexico, and will become commonplace in the United States.

William N. Kelley, MD; Jeoffrey K. Stross, MD
▪ In 1977, the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Michigan implemented two specific faculty career tracks, the physician-scientist and clinician-scholar, to define more clearly the goals and expectations to which individuals should strive to achieve academic success. In response to the changing environment, a leadership track and a full-time clinical track were added. Although concerns about comparability, transfer between tracks, and research productivity were raised initially, they were alleviated as it became apparent that the ability to achieve tenure was similar in the physician-scientist and clinician-scholar tracks. The development of well-defined faculty tracks has facilitated the alignment of talents, training, and effort with career goals. It has also enabled us to protect the time of young investigators to pursue their research activities and to define the expectations for promotion for clinicians with a major commitment to patient care.

… or snow, ice rivers and all the mud…
What an absolutely crazy race that was. I'm writing this on Monday, two days after the race and I still can't quite believe what happened on Saturday. I'm so lucky that I had trained through the winter and was prepared for this race, because the weather threw everything at us and yet I could keep fighting and running strong the whole way. I was hoping to come in under 5hours but managed 4:31:03 which just goes to show that I had an absolute cracker of a day. Oh and I took 9th place female, which I was 100% not expecting 😊
Back to the start: the RER C (which would take me to the start) of course had trackwork this weekend, but the race knew abou this and had organised shuttles from a nearby station which was very easy. I decided to get to the start nice and early and so was surprised when my train was crammed full of runners, but most of them turned out to be heading to the 30km race which started 45min before ours. When I arrived at the 45km start there was barely any queue for the toilets, which is a good indicator for how much time I'd allowed myself!
AHH the toilets, the first funny story of the day! True to the 'Eco' part of its name, the race had put in a number of environmentally-friendly initiatives, such as a BYO-cup policy and extra time added to competitors who littered along the course. They also provided eco 'dry' toilets, where you had to scoop up a bucket of sawdust before entering the cubicle, and then pour it down the hole once you were finished. This was a new experience for me, and while I think it's a good initiative, it probably should have come with a warning not to sit down! I ended up with sawdust all down my pants and had to go back a few more times to try and get rid of it. Sawdust is itchy! 😂
It was a bit cold at the start and I was a little worried that I hadn't brought enough layers to wear while running, but there also wasn't much I could do about it anymore. I did manage to get a cup of delicious tea and a piece of brioche which they were handing out at the start-tents which was great. Of course though, I hadn't actually used my BYO cup before, and as it turns out, hot drinks in a metal cup makes the metal very hot and difficult to drink out of! Had to stand around for 10min waiting for the cup to cool before I could even take a sip… Silly me.
Deposited my bag and jumper and got into the start pens with 20min to go. There were ~1500 runners for the 45km event, but the race was still set off in waves every 10min and I didn't want to get stuck in a wave too far back because it would mean more time standing around in the cold. I ended up in the second one, and we set off at 10:55am.
The waves weren't organised by speed, so from the get-go I had to weave around people to get to a comfortable running speed. The first ~6km of the course is flat around the gardens of Versailles, and while I didn't want to go out at 5km pace I wasn't too worried about setting off too fast because the hills from 6km onwards would slow me down enough to negate any extra speed I had managed in this first section. The plan was that if I ever ran for more than 19min at a time I would take a 1min walk-break, and otherwise would just walk up all the hills. As it turned out I only ever did one 19-1 phase which was during those first flat kilometres, and even then I cut the walk short because I saw a small hill up ahead which I used for the remainder of the walk.
During this part of the race I had had really tight calves, which then turned into pins&needles in my feet. Thankfully by 8km it all went away, and this is when I really hit my stride. Up until this point I had been running well but when we got onto the proper trails I just felt this spark light up and my legs were ready to go. I was still walking up the hills, but this meant that on all the flats and downs I could just fly along. It's a brilliant tactic! My legs weren't tired from having to expend too much energy going up the hills, and so I could overtake people when I was running, which was a great mental boost. Actually, most people were walking up the hills so I rarely got passed there either.
Basically, kilometres 8-25 were a total dream. Having run the course so much in training I knew it like the back of my hand and so knew exactly what was coming up and where my favourite and most hated sections were. In the past I've picked my way along the downhills but now I had confidence and could scream down them, competently knowing how to navigate the mud and rocks which in the past have caused all sorts of fear. There were plenty of people around who were approaching the course as I had a few months ago, and it just made me so happy to see how far I had come. I even happily hiked up my nemesis hill at ~20km with a massive smile on my face – take that!
Nutrition and hydration were also going really well. I had Tailwind in my bladder which I was drinking every 15min, and that broke up the run into really small manageable chunks which seemed to pass very quickly. I was also eating brownie/date/banana mush (I made homemade bites but they kinda melted 😞) every 30min and although sticky, it tasted great and gave me the energy I needed. My arm-warmers + t-shirt combination turned out to be the right amount of clothing for the body heat I was generating, and I even took my gloves off partway through.
It had started raining though and the ground, already muddy from recent rainfall, was getting worse. My headband was soaked and my ears had become quite blocked and I couldn't unblock them – a little like when after you've been swimming. It wasn't great, but again I couldn't do anything about it at this point.
One of the great motivators for my full-steam-ahead approach to running this race was that Sye and my friend Genieve had both come to support me and were waiting at the 25km aid station! It was so absolutely lovely of them to come, particularly because the conditions were so horribly foul. I had packed a bag for Sye to bring along, which meant I could change out various bits of it – such as my sopping headband and terribly muddy socks. I had been dreaming about fresh socks for a while, and it was such a great feeling to switch them out – but at the same time probably an unnecessary waste of time given that 100m into running the next section they were already full of mud again. However, I had felt something stuck under my toes which would probably have caused problems 10km further into the race, so cleaning my feet probably was a good idea – mentally, if not time-wise.
I spent ~10min in the aid station and probably gave far too many sweaty wet hugs to my crew (sorry!) and then it was time to go again. I left the aid station at ~2:30 into the race, and which meant that I was making damn good progress – more towards the 'dream' rather than 'reality' end of the scale. Somehow though I had completely forgotten about the next 5km in my race planning, and though that the last 20km would just be easy-peasy through to the end. NOPE!
As it turned out, those were the worst 5km of the race. Not only was it one hill after another after a downhill to then go straight back up again – but it started snowing. WTF. It's March, and last week I was running in shorts and a t-shirt. How can it be snowing?!?!
In part the snow was fun, but it also meant that now the mud was a complete disaster. The ground was gaining an extra layer of flowing thick mud-water which was just incredibly unpleasant. A few times I got suckered into following some guys ahead of me into the scrub to avoid a bad section, only to get annoyed at myself because running straight through would probably have been easier than ducking tree branches.
Finally we got into the Domaine National de Saint Cloud, aka it's mostly downhill until the end. Once again I could pick up speed and overtake the guys floundering in the mud #girlpower. Soon though as the trails turned to paths, the mud turned into deep icy rivers. For probably a kilometre in that park I had to run through ankle-deep ice-cold water where I could barely feel my feet. It was tempting to stop and walk because it sucked (especially when it then turned into ice-cold-mud-rivers) but I kept telling myself that running forward was the only way to keep some sort of warmth going to my feet.
The ten kilometres between aid station 1 & 2 passed pretty quickly, and I only paused at the second one to grab a few slices of orange before continuing on. The worst of the hills were now behind me and all that remained was to run along the edge of the Seine, where I have run so many of my training runs at varying speeds. Of the whole race course, this is the bit I knew the best and I have suffered here enough times to know how to make it through to the end. I had also arranged with Sye that he would be waiting for me in the last few kilometres for a final boost, so I just needed to get to him.
From 40km my legs finally started to feel tired. I was properly legging it now, setting my eyes on every competitor in front of me and reeling them in one by one. It felt like no-one could keep up with me, that no-one could even try. I have no idea where all this energy came from (other than, yeah ok, all the training that went into this race) but damn I felt good. I also felt like I really didn't ever want to race this fast again – but we all know that's not going to happen!
Sye popped out earlier than I was expecting at 41.5km (on my watch), and it was great to see him… until he said that he was too cold (it was still snowing) and that he wanted to go home and warm up rather than meeting me at the finish. That threw me a curveball and for the first time in the race I struggled emotionally. I kinda just ran off without saying a proper goodbye and then texted that yes, he did need to be at the finish. I was pretty angry for the next kilometre or so* until I realised that I was almost at the last section of the course, and that my watch was probably a kilometre short of the actual race distance. I was nearly finished!!!
*I'm sorry Sye, thank you so much for coming out to support. I know the conditions sucked and I'm sorry that I reacted so emotionally at that point in the race, and that I'm now recounting it to the world.
Walked up one last set of stairs and crossed the road into the final straight. There was the green carpet stretched out in front of me, and with one last burst of energy I overtook some walkers (from the 30km, but still) and crossed the line. I saw my name and time flash up on the screen – 4:31:03. WHAT?!?!?! How on earth had I just managed that?
That result was beyond my wildest dreams, and I kinda started crying/smiling so much that lots of volunteers were asking me if I was OK. Surprisingly I was totally fine and could walk to the finish area just like it was any other normal day. Unfortunately that didn't last and I was actually really stupid and refused to get out my safety blanket and so got really cold and stood around for too long then when I finally decided to go inside to get changed realised that the bags were in a truck across the road so had to be out in the cold for longer and then when I finally did get inside I was crying and a total mess because I was completely frozen and couldn't feel my fingers and Sye had to hug me for a long time then force me to have a hot shower which did wonders. Oops. Lesson learned for next time…
Ignoring the after-race bit though, the day was absolutely incredible. I can't believe I could run like that on trails, and I feel like I've really proved something to myself. I finally feel like my training over the past few months has had some results, and I'm getting really excited now to take on the North Downs Way 50miler in May. Bring it on!

Hello guys, and thank you for letting me join your incredible community!
I'm a junior IBM Datacap developer and so far I've been using Datacap 8.0 with no trouble, yet they recently changed the computers and upgraded to 8.1
I'm starting a new project and wanted to create a Custom Panel, but i can't manage to find the DotEditPanels project in My Documents, as it was in the previous version.
Does anyone know where can i find it?
PS: I can't find dotedit.ini either, where i specify different panels for different types of pages.
Thanks in advance!
Answer by AlexSchwagle (51) | Feb 25, 2014 at 12:41 PM
I never worked with 8.0 much, so I can't comment on that specifically, but the 8.1 DotEditPanels project is a C# solution that you can download from here. It should come with instructions on how to use it as well.
As for your PS, panels are bound to page types through the TMWeb interface. Go to Administrator > Workflow > Verify > Setup, and scroll down to the DotEdit section. Your panel mappings should be there.
Answer by MatiasCicero (0) | Feb 25, 2014 at 01:04 PM
Thank you very much, Alex!!
I downloaded the project and accessed succesfully to the verify setup page.
I'll keep you posted with the results
Answer by NSK55 (981) | Feb 25, 2014 at 02:46 PM
Please note that there are now two versions of the DotEdit custom panel projects in that download area. The original 8.1.0 version and the 8.1 FP2 version. In order to build custom DotEdit (or DotScan) panels for 8.1 FP2 you also need to install a hotfix from Fix Central - see the instructions earlier in the same document: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/data/library/techarticle/dm-ind-datacap-taskmaster/#custom%20dotedit
Answer by MatiasCicero (0) | Feb 26, 2014 at 11:11 AM
Thank you very much to all of you!! I managed to create a custom panel and bound it to a page

Web application development is a diverse field, little do people know. We all have a misconception that it is all about coding and getting the operations done. However, if we observe deeply it all starts from users and ends on them! How? Let me tell you.
Web application development, a part of the web, is expanding by leaps and bounces. It is no more bounded to a particular country and location but a possession of every geographical location on earth. Web Application development companies are omnipresent focusing on expanding their horizons, especially in countries like India where technical man force is available at cheaper cost. People from different countries have different demands and requirements. So is it just the code that matters in Web App development. No! Web apps are designed strategically right from the start. Each and every element passes through different phases. Web Application development company follow the development life cycle of which development is a part itself.
1. User Requirements:
One of the most important determining factor and aspect. User requirements are placed above all. A user-centric approach always helps to climb the ladder of success.
2. Flexible and Lightweight:
The developed app must be lightweight and flexible enough to be downloaded and run on multiple platforms. Not only function but function in the same way all along.
For example, Android App Development India develops an app for Android platform. It might be a hit for Android user but will be devoid of the crowd using Windows, iOS or Linux.
3. Security:
Any developed app must be secure. With development and everlasting use of Internet, security has emerged as a main concern. It's crucial to develop web applications that are high on security and are not prone to security breaches and taps.
4. User Interface:
Another important factor to be kept in mind while developing an app is its User Interface. It easy to develop a complex app and chances of success diminish with complexity. The most difficult thing is keeping it simple. It should be easy to understand. Web Application Development Company try not to insert any unknown symbol, unused logos or buttons for users ease.
5. Help sections and manuals:
Though most of the apps forget to implement these things, yet they should be introduced, especially if you are introducing something new to your users. Otherwise, it will take a time to adapt to it and learn it completely. Help sections must be there to provide users with ease of use and implement at their level. It reduces the chances of rejections.
These are some of the factors that are apart and away from coding yet important for the lifetime and success of any app or web based applications.

ARLINGTON, Tex. — The scissors seemed awkward in their hands, and rightfully so. It had been 20 years since a Michigan basketball team had climbed a ladder this high, and as these Wolverines celebrated and carefully snipped away at the nets, they had proved worthy of creating a new legacy.
None of them left the court until the cord had been cut and passed among them. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Trey Burke motioned into the Michigan crowd for family members to join them. A starry-eyed Nik Stauskas stood nearby and soaked in the atmosphere, awed by the moment.
"I'm a freshman," Stauskas said with a tinge of disbelief in his tone. "I feel spoiled right now. The Final Four my first year, it's unbelievable."
The young Wolverines dismantled the Florida Gators on Sunday with equal parts raw talent and pure shooting, winning the South Region championship game, 79-59, at Cowboys Stadium.
"It's been a long time since this program has been here," Burke said amid the postgame scrum. "I felt like we had the team to get to Atlanta, and now we're here and we're about to continue our work. Cutting down more nets, that's the goal."
Stauskas missed only one shot, hitting 7 of 8 attempts and scoring 22 points. He set up base camp in the left corner and drilled all six of his 3-point attempts, holding his follow-through an extra half-second and firing a confident glare at his defender as the ball swished.
"I felt it right away," Stauskas said. "My first shot in warm-ups, I could tell. I told Trey, 'If I'm open get me the ball, and I'll knock it down.' "
Burke gradually found his groove and finished with 15 points, 7 assists and 8 rebounds, and was named the South Regional's most outstanding player. Mitch McGary, one of three freshman starters, banged and roamed freely against a passive Gators interior defense and hit his first four shots en route to 11 points and 9 rebounds.
After a sluggish start and a dramatic rally to beat Kansas in overtime, the Wolverines vowed to be more focused against Florida. They fulfilled their promise with a 13-0 lead that clearly staggered the Gators.
"We felt today the key was to come out and throw the first punch," Burke said.
Michigan advanced to its first Final Four since the Fab Five team had back-to-back appearances in 1992 and '93. The Wolverines will be trying to win their first national title since 1989.
"A lot of people said we were too young, we weren't tough enough," Burke said. "I think that's why we played with a chip on our shoulder over the last couple weeks. We fought through adversity, and we're here now. We still have unfinished business."
Michigan advances to meet Syracuse in a national semifinal Saturday in Atlanta. The Gators lost for the third consecutive year in the Round of 8, amid flat offensive and defensive performances.
The senior forward Erik Murphy embodied Florida's struggles, going 0 of 11 and often arriving just late as Stauskas fired away from the left corner.
"I can't pronounce his name, but we gave him open looks and he made us pay," Kenny Boynton said. He and Will Yeguete each had 13 points and were the only Gators to score in double figures.
The Gators closed to 11 points behind early in the second half on two free throws by Scottie Wilbekin and appeared energized for a rally. They trailed by 58-44 with 12 minutes 55 seconds to play, but went scoreless for the next 4:40, a sloppy stretch in which Michigan pushed its lead to 21 points. Florida shot 41 percent from the field but managed to make only 2 of 10 tries from 3-point range, with guard Mike Rosario missing all four of his attempts.
"It's all a result of Burke," Florida Coach Billy Donovan said. "Those guys, they do not have players that really are able to create for themselves."
These were the flawed Gators that fans feared would resurface in the tournament as Florida tried to reach its first Final Four since winning consecutive national titles in 2006 and '07. Before Sunday, six of the Gators' seven losses were by 6 or fewer points; all of their victories came by 10-plus margins.
When adversity hit, they seemed to shrink, and Michigan blasted the Gators from the start, opening a 47-30 halftime lead. No team had scored so many points in one half against Florida this season, and the Wolverines were relentless from all angles.
"They got off to a hot start, and us not being able to manufacture enough points really dug us a hole," Donovan said. "We got the ball where we wanted it to go, but a lot of times, we just weren't able to convert."
Over all, Michigan shot 46.2 percent and was even better from 3-point range, hitting 52.6 percent. The Wolverines had 13 steals and harassed the Gators into 15 turnovers.
"We played the best teams all year," Stauskas said. "We played in a tough conference. We're not scared of anybody,"
Maybe too young to remember the last time Michigan soared to such heights, but certainly ready to create their own legacy.

We work to find your dog's weaknesses and show you how to correct the problems. Our class sessions take advantage of our facility and real world experiences. Be prepared to take your dog out onto the streets to see how much he or she is picking up during the canine training class.
Class Schedule
We believe that you'll be surprised and excited at the changes your dog can make when enrolled in our classes. To make dog training an enjoyable and fulfilling activity, our approach is positive, rewards-based, fun and effective. We believe in Cesar Milan and Dr. Brian Hare's Philosophy.
Cesar Millan's Philosophy
Our training philosophy and Cesar Millan's are similar. We will not only train your dog, but we will also train you to become a dog whisperer.
Millan's work focuses on handling a dog with what he calls "calm-assertive energy". He approaches dog behavior by teaching dog owners to establish their role as calm-assertive pack leaders. According to Millan, dogs have three primary needs: exercise, discipline and affection — in that order. In other words, it is the owner's responsibility to fulfill the dog's energy level through challenging exercise; then to provide clearly communicated rules, boundaries and limitations; and finally, to provide affection.
Learn more about how our training services reflect Cesar Millan's strategy.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
Dr. Brian Hare's Philosophy
Dr. Brian Hare is an associate professor of evolutionary anthropology at Duke University in North Carolina and a member of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, which is a division of the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University, founded the Hominoid Psychology Research Group while at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, and subsequently founded the Duke Canine Cognition Center when arriving at Duke University.
His research consistently received national and international media coverage over the last decade and has been featured in the Daily Mail, The Telegraph, The Economist, The New York Times, The New Yorker, National Geographic, Time, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, Nature, Wired, Science magazine, CNN and ABC (Australia). He has been a frequent guest on radio programs including the BBC and American National Public Radio. He has also been featured in multiple documentaries from production companies such as National Geographic (U.S.), BBC (U.K.), Nova (U.S.), RTL (Germany), SBS (Korea) and Globo (Brazil). Dr. Hare is frequently invited to give lectures on his research on dog intelligence. For example, in 2009 he gave the keynote addresses at the annual conferences for both Assistance Dog Training Society and Association of Pet Dog Trainers, which are both among the largest dog training societies in the U.S.
Ask the Experts!
Need help right away but can't make it to our facility? We can set-up a phone consultation for you with one of our professional trainers. Phone consultations are useful if you need help immediately but can't make it in for a private lesson. Clients who move out of town find them particularly useful.
The following issues are some of the most common:
- Puppy Selection – Advance planning is the key to a great relationship with your puppy. Discuss which breeds are best for you; learn what traits to look for in a puppy; find out what supplies to have on hand before bringing your puppy home.
- Crate Training – If your puppy is keeping you up nights, let our experienced trainers help. They've personally trained hundreds of puppies and know what really works.
- Housebreaking – This can be one of the most frustrating issues for new puppy owners but it doesn't have to be. Tell us what's happening and we can help you structure your puppy's environment for success.
- Introducing a second dog – Not sure how to introduce a new dog to your existing canine (or feline) household can design a plan that works for your family.
You are only charged for the time you use. Each phone consultation is figured in 15-minute increments.
Price is $85 – $100 per hour.

Buy the Sea - Kelowna, BC
I'm eating at Buy the Sea Fresh Seafood Market and Fish n' Chip Shop today. There are two locations of Buy the Sea. I'm at the West Kelowna location; the other one is in Penticton.
Oh Westbank...
There's a quote from an episode of Parks and Recreation that runs through my head every time I'm in a particular area of Westbank. It's from the episode, Sister City, where the city of Pawnee welcomes a delegation from Venezuela.
Delegate Elvis: What's your profession?
Mark: I'm a city planner.
Delegate Elvis: This city was PLANNED?
You know, I like this area. I have to be here a lot for work related stints. But dang. Were these roads an afterthought? All morning, during my meeting, I watched car after car commit illegal turns, weaving through the barriers, in order to avoid having to drive several blocks out of their way to turn legally. (Yes, my meeting was so gripping that I was staring out the window half the time.)
In addition, if you want to get from one side of the highway to the other, it seems like there is only one controlled intersection to maneuver across the 97. (Why is this?)
When I try to patronize the businesses on Louis Drive and then needing to go over to Carrington Road, I end up having to back track a lot through the one intersection and around the round-about. Although I'm used to it now, the situation has become a bit of a run on joke for me when I head into Westbank.
Boston Clam Chowder ($3.89 small)
This is actually listed as seafood chowder, since there are shrimp swimming in there too. More clams would've been better, but I guess that can be said of many clam chowders. I enjoy the chowdery consistency of it. Sometimes seafood chowders can be one extreme or the other: thick like stew or runny like salad dressing. This is a perfect chowder thickness, aided with potatoes, carrots and celery that make up the background.
One Piece Halibut Fish and Chips ($12.99)
This here my friends, is some fine fish. A thin, light crispy package holds the super fresh and moist halibut. I usually find battered fish a bit ho-hum, but this is some of the best I've had in a while. Fresh is best. The dense white flesh is almost silky. I often encounter velvety steamed fish, but not so much velvety fried fish. I like what I'm eating, and it's huge. The one piece of halibut is plenty big to satisfy most pangs of hunger.
The fresh seafood market is the main space, but the front shop area dedicates a half dozen tables for diners. Service is casual, efficient and courteous. I spy multiple quality checks at each table performed by at least three different staff members. If you are a dine-in customer, keep in mind that their fish fry is not a secret, so the lunch time seats fill up fast.
I'd like to return and try their oysters and Manhattan chowder, but next time I'm going to force DL to come with me. DL is not a lover of fish n' chips. Buy the Sea does a very favourable fish fry up. Certainly good enough to convert fish n' chip haters...like DL, right? We shall see.

Buy the Sea West Kelowna diner hours:
Monday to Saturday 11:00am – 7:00pm
Sunday 11:00am – 6:00pm
Fish 'n' Chips 'n' Vinegar...pepper pepper pepper salt!
Oh, this looks delicious! I love how this market uses paper cups for the condiments with the fish 'n' chips.
Next trip to Westbank, I'm there!
Future Parks and Rec fan,
Re: Fish n' Chips n' Vinegar - Buy the Sea
Not only do I have this round playing in my brain, it reminded me of that other childrens food song.
Now I have Charlotte Diamond's "I am a Pizza" swimming around in my head too!
Thanks, A.L.,
Re: Fish n' Chips...
Hallo Lvoers,
Do I dare look up that Charlotte Diamond song? My poor skull is always so full of musical brainworms (hopefully no other kinds of worms...)

National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: Dr. Hideo Miyahara)and the Information Technology Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology(ITL/NIST, Director: Dr. Charles H. Romine) have signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on international cooperation at the headquarters of the ITL/NIST on February 7, 2012. ITL/NIST is one of the major research laboratories in the field of information technology representing the United States. Both organizations will promote collaborative projects and cooperate together in all of common interest such as Cyber-Physical Data Cloud and Network Security.
Home > Press Release > Memorandum of Understanding was signed with ITL/NIST
Today, widely-available ubiquitous broadband networks enable instant disseminations of physical environment sensor data, such as weather observation data, over the Internet (e.g., sensor Web). In addition, recent advances of mobile devices, especially like smart phones, facilitate sensing and distributing information about the physical environments observed by people. Examples are text messages, photos and movies on the Web describing what's happening around people. Moreover, social media like Twitter and Facebook encourage people to voluntarily publish and distribute their sensing data in real time (called "social sensing" or "participatory sensing") . Ranging from numerical observation data to web contents, a cyber space becomes a vast repository of heterogeneous sensing data. There are increasing demands for managing those cyber-physical data, in order to get knowledge on real-world situations and provide more "actionable" information services to people. The cyber-physical data cloud will play the central role for collecting, archiving, organizing, manipulating, and sharing very large cyber-physical data.

A husband and wife spent a whole morning bickering until the wife took the husband's booze and started pouring it out in the sink. The husband retaliated by taking groceries from the refrigerator and throwing them in the toilet. First-world problems.
A woman found a handwritten note from her boyfriend on her doorstep. Police say the note was about "male and female spiders, dreams, previous relationships, his children, his and the victim's personal information and likes/dislikes, and other writings which she did not understand and made her fear for her safety due to the unstable ramblings." Maybe it was poetry.
Police woke a man up who had been sleeping in an apartment breezeway. The officer asked if he'd been drinking, to which the man replied, "Yes, but just beer. You can't get drunk off just beer." Obviously.
Employees found a backpack, four brightly colored dress shirts, two packs of boxers, two pairs of pants, and six T-shirts in the bushes outside of a department store. What is the return policy for shoplifted merchandise, anyway?
A woman was seen slashing the tire on a car while shouting into her cell phone, "I want the keys! I want the keys!" Betting she doesn't want the keys until the tire gets fixed.
An officer on patrol spotted a car with its tag light out. He tried to pull the car over, but the driver took a quick right turn, jumped out of the vehicle, and started running. In the course of the chase, he scaled a concrete wall and two barbed wire fences. Maybe he should parkour to work from now on.

LONDON (Reuters) - Global regulators have stepped up efforts to reverse a decline in cross-border links between banks that are critical for people to send money abroad.
So-called correspondent banking has come under intense regulatory scrutiny to stop money laundering and terrorism financing, prompting some lenders in Europe and the United States to withdraw, saying that the tougher checks on customers are too burdensome.
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) said there has been a clear, downward trend in correspondent banking, raising concerns about remittances, a staple of some poorer economies.
The FSB, a regulatory task force for the Group of 20 economies (G20), published a plan on Monday to improve data on correspondent banking, reassure lenders on the level of checks needed on customers, and come up with more ways to make those checks easier.
It builds on efforts began in November 2015.
"A decline in correspondent banking relationships can adversely affect growth, financial inclusion, remittances flows as well as the stability and integrity of the global financial system," said Alexander Karrer, chair of the FSB correspondent banking coordination group and deputy state secretary at the Swiss Federal Department of Finance.
The FSB said regulators have begun to reassure banks they don't have to conduct due diligence on their "customer's customer" before authorizing a cross-border payment.
A global task force published new guidance in October on customer checks, saying there had been an "incorrect understanding" of anti-money laundering measures, which caused unnecessary pressure on banks to end correspondent relationships.
The FSB said SWIFT, a global banking messaging system, will set out by April a process for monitoring trends in correspondent banking to see if measures being taken by regulators are having an effect.
The global watchdog will also publish the findings of its detailed survey of correspondent banking in April.
By March the FSB will publish guidance for countries to show foreign banks how they have improved their anti-money laundering rules in order to increase "capacity" in correspondent banking.
Jurisdictions exited by correspondent banks are often those with actual or perceived weaknesses in their supervisory and regulatory frameworks, the FSB said.
Regulators will also develop guidance on how banks could cut costs by streamlining due diligence on customers, such as by using "utilities" to centralize basic information for all banks to access. This will include looking at the use of "big data" and machine learning.
The FSB will report on progress to G20 leaders when they meet in July.

Topic: Fighting Engine Corrosion
Date: Thursday, February 4, 2010 @ 19:45
Location: New Jersey Aviation Hall of Fame at Teterboro Airport
As a natural follow-up to last month's A Look Inside Our Engines presentation, this month our invited speaker, Edward Kollin, will be discussing what we can do to fight engine corrosion. As concerns about the costs of aviation mount, this is a topic that will be of interest not just to aircraft owners, but to renters interested in the preservation of the FBOs and Flight Schools out of which they operate.
He will discuss aircraft oil formulations, auto vs. aviation oils, the straight weight vs. multi-weight debate, corrosion, the break-in process, engine operation, deposits and valve sticking, engine specific problems, oil additives, oil change intervals, and oil analysis.
Here is the opportunity to get answers to your questions about fuels, lubricants, additives, engine operation and much more!
Edward Kollin has worked only for two small firms as an adult: General Motors Research and Exxon Research and Engineering, and has been involved with engines, fuels and lubricants since he could stand. At Exxon, he was director of the engine research laboratory as part of the Advanced Fuel and Lubricants Group and was responsible for the initial research on the Exxon Elite oil.
Refreshments: Pizza is funded by a 50/50
Directions: Directions to the NJ Aivation Hall of Fame can be found on the museum's homepage. As a bonus to those attending the meeting, the museum opens for us a 19:00. This provides an opportunity to view some of the exhibits for free, though we do encourage people to join the museum and help fund preservation of our aviation heritage in NJ.
