The BWF Classifier Education and Certification Programme provides the framework and requirements to train, develop and maintain International Para-Badminton Classifiers.
The programme defines the requirements needed for different levels of certification and the conditions to maintain certification and to advance to a higher level.
Appendix 6 of the Classification Regulations provides details of the education and certification of classifiers. The Guidelines for Classifier Education and Certification detail the training programme for Level 1 International Classifiers.
Level 1 International Classifiers
For new classifiers, there are two main stages and the programme involves a minimum commitment of:
- Attendance at two international tournaments where training
will be conducted:
- one day of workshops / training theory;
- one day of observation of player evaluation;
- two days observation of players in competition.
- Participation in workshops, theory sessions, observation
and practical tasks.
- Completion of written assignment work between the
two international events.
- Completion of assessment tasks.
Trainee classifiers will receive a certificate of attendance after the first stage of the training course (linked here) with a summary assessment report on progress towards certification.
Pre-requisites for Training
There are a number of pre-requisites to undertaking classifier training and to becoming a BWF International Classifier. These are:
- Qualified in one or more of the following disciplines:
- Able to communicate effectively in English - undertake classifier training and conduct player evaluations in English.
- Able to commit time as a para-badminton classifier once qualified.
The following would be a significant advantage in training to be a para-badminton classifier:
- Experience and/or qualifications as a national classifier in para-badminton.
- Experience and/or international classifier in another sport.
- Knowledge of badminton, its rules and physical and technical demands of the sport.

I have had the Lyric installed for 3 weeks now in a Coco/Addi Taylor GS. This week was my first time however getting to use it in a full band setting on stage at my 300 seat Church. I have used many other systems in various guitars. I will just say that the systems are always some sort of dual source that included a piezo based element and a microphone. Most recently, for the past 2 years my main guitar included a passive dual source system mixed through a Pendulum SPS -1. My experience with other products and systems should account for something, right?
Yesterday, after things were plugged in it took me all of 30 seconds to go from flat to a really nice sound even having to adjust levels to the sound board since the signal was too hot according to the sound man. The tone was a bright cutting live tone but still maintained an acoustic guitar quality to it. The integrity of the tone still held together when strumming hard. Usually, it is our experience that I try and get a tone that I like in the monitor then the sound man usually has to tweak it from there. Many times it comes back to me in my monitor with a sound that I don't like as much. This time the sound man left it flat on the board. Hmm? Can't complain about that.
I have done a lot of testing at home through my Bose Model 2 in the previous 3 weeks in order to become familiar with it so making adjustments quickly as I set-up was easily accomplished. The bass knob was rolled off to about 10 o'clock. the two mid knobs were down to 9 o'clock centered around 400Hz and 600Hz respectively. The Presence and Trebles were up to around 1 o'clock. When not in band mode I am able to easily get a more solo acoustic sound with just a few tweaks.
I was concerned by the handling noise and string squeaks. They seemed to be more apparent than any of my other dual source systems. I have learned to not fidget with my guitar and learned to play cleanly through all that. I specifically told my sound man to listen for that and let me know if was a problem or distraction. He was not at all bothered by that nor was I.
The wrap: I love it. Nothing more to be said except I foresee a lot of acoustic gear going up for sale soon.

I was going to buy some Oolong teas off http://www.goldenteahouse.com but I was hoping to have some advice before I do so.
Could anyone afford me some information regarding the differences in taste between Guan Yin Wang and Da Hong Pao?

Get ready to rock out with the best -- Audioslave have a new album on the way, and it's set to be a heavy-hitting affair, states Top40-Charts.com.
The album was tracked 3 weeks ago with Brendan O'Brien as a producer, who mixed Soundgarden's "Superunknown" and produced Rage Against The Machine's "Evil Empire" and "The Battle Of Los Angeles."
Click Here!
Guitarist Tom Morello told MTV that the new album is an "ass-kicker." He also said that Audioslave's third record is "really unique" and "as hard-rockin' an album as we've ever made."
"If you want your ass kicked, you've come to the right place," he added. "And you may have the opportunity to shake that ass too."
Audioslave's new LP doesn't have a firm title or release date yet, but Morello describes it as "Led Zeppelin meets Earth, Wind & Fire."
Tom Morello also told MTV News that tracks he's sure will be featured on the CD are Until We Fall, Moth, Revelations, One In The Same, Sound Of A Gun, Shape Of Things To Come, Broken City, Original Fire and Wide Awake, which is "the most political song Audioslave's ever written, and it's a scathing condemnation of the Bush administration's failures in the wake of Hurricane Katrina," he said. "It's a sad, powerful and angry song."

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely," is the most famous quote by the English Catholic historian Sir John Dalberg-Acton. It also appears to be the overriding theme of the recent teaser-trailer for the movie Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
The quote is even stated directly in the trailer in a voiceover (by actress Holly Hunter). Is it applicable in this context? Would Lord Acton agree that absolute power has corrupted Superman? I think he would.
That particular quote comes from a letter to Bishop Creighton in which Lord Acton explains that historians should condemn murder, theft, and violence whether committed by an individual, the state, or the Church. Here is the context:

Fujitsu, a leading supplier of personal computers, servers and workstations, said this week that now it controls the former Fujitsu Siemens' business in Europe, it would double its presence in the global servers space in two years. The decision is rather bold since Fujitsu will have to compete against such giants as Dell and HP, who are already fiercely compete against each other.
Currently Fujitsu commands 4% of the global server market and plans to boost its market share by almost twice to 7% in two years. Already in fiscal 2010 (March 2009 – March 2010 in Japan) the company wants to sell 500 thousand Intel-based servers thanks to its expansion into the European market. Eventually, the company will target more than 10% share in the global server market, what will be a milestone for the company.
"Rather than a target, we consider this as a milestone for Fujitsu to truly become global. Selling 500 thousand units is not easy in these economic conditions, but we believe changing ourselves fast enough to clear this level would be a way for us to be able to offer both products and services in the global arena," said Fujitsu's president Kuniaki Nozoe during a press conference, reports Reuters news-agency.
It will hardly be easy for Fujitsu to grab a large share in the server market. The leaders – HP, Dell and IBM with 35%, 27% and 14% of the market are fighting vigorously with each other, what eventually does not allow smaller vendors to grow as well.

Most handymen use utility knives or pocketknives to put points on carpenter pencils. They whittle away the wood to expose a blunt stub of lead, which produces a sturdy marker but not one
capable of producing a fine line. Club member and woodworker Jerry Whitfield of Bowling Green, Ohio, has a better way. He makes four passes, one for each edge, with a sharp chisel. This not only puts a clean bevel on the wood but also pares the lead itself to a perfect wedge. The chisel must be sharp for this technique to work.

Judge places Marktplatz Mall in receivership
NEW ULM – The operation and ownership of the Marktplatz Mall had a shake-up this week due to a Brown County Court order.
Judge Robert Docherty approved motions requested by the attorney for New Ulm Retail & Development Corp., owners of two-thirds of the mall, who are plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the owner of the other third, Randy Danielson and his SEK?Financial, LLC, which owns the mortgage on NURD's portion of the mall.
Docherty placed the mall in receivership and appointed Upper Midwest Management Corp. in New Ulm as the receiver, as requested by NURD.
A receiver is a court-appointed individual or entity that takes over control of running the related property to enact the court's neutral will and prevent harm to the property. The receivership ends with the trial or when the judge orders it stopped.
Docherty, in appointing Upper Midwest Management Corporation as the receiver, ordered it to focus on dealing with the owed taxes and other costs.
Danielson objected to the order on the grounds of being unnecessary, given his rights with the documents, but said he has no problem with a receiver running NURD's portion.
Ownership of NURD
Regarding the ownership of the mall, California real estate broker Doug Cogan has replaced Cliff Strand, Mike Strand and Lance Warners as the sole owner of New Ulm Retail and Development, LLC. (NURD), which owns the northern two-thirds of the mall. Docherty granted NURD's request to remove the Strands and Warner from the lawsuit and replace them with Cogan and other listed owners of the second mortgage on NURD's portion of the mall, Thomas and Erma Evans, and Ralph and Nancy Bowers. The request was argued based on the lawsuit being brought by NURD the entity itself and Cogan now being its representative. The Strands previously controlled the second mortgage before giving it to the current holders. Outside of Cogan, the other second mortgage holders have made no official appearance in the lawsuit and have no contact information outside of a shared California mail box.
The second mortgage is subordinate to the interests of the first mortgage, but has financial claims in the case.
The Strands will remain involved through a third mortgage they added to their side of the mall when they exchanged ownership. Mike Strand said they will work to help Cogan continue to pursue the lawsuit, but Cogan will take over the official side of the lawsuit.
The lawsuit itself is largely oriented around the first mortgage on NURD's side of the mall, which was assumed by the entity in 2008 but became entirely due when it defaulted in 2011. Danielson, through his SEK Financial, LLC, bought the mortgage to stop the foreclosure. He then began collecting the NURD side rents through the mortgage's Assignment of Rents.
NURD sued Danielson and SEK over accusations of mismanaging the rents and accounting for the mortgage. Danielson accuses NURD of lying to bully him into a better settlement price for the mortgage.
NURD has refused to pay utilities, insurance and property taxes while Danielson collects rents. Danielson has paid the utility bills, but the mall insurance has been revoked due to non-payment and $88,000 in taxes is owed on the NURD side. The Assignment requires that any fund Danielson does not apply to mall expense has to go towards paying off the mortgage.
The ownership changes shift around the NURD side ownership, but the lawsuits should progress as already scheduled.
Finally, the order will require NURD and Danielson to enter arbitration, and to agree on an arbitrator by June 30 to determine who is owed what funds related to their Reciprocal Easement agreement for their shared common area. The dispute is separate from the dispute over the rents.
Looking into the future, Cogan said he wants to focus on filing the mall with stores local want to see. He toured New Ulm this last week and meet with local organizations like the Chamber. The Strands said they plan to stay involved with the mall and lawsuit through the third mortgage.
Cogan said he continues to pursue the NURD lawsuit, but declined to provide further details on his plans.
The trial dates for the lawsuit are set to start on Dec. 17.

Trump signs orders advancing Keystone, Dakota pipelines
HOLMGREN: Hoffner could return to Mankato, but should he?
If you were fired from a job and legally proved the dismissal was wrongful, would you even want to return to that workplace?
Minot State football coach Todd Hoffner is facing that dilemma at this very moment.
On Wednesday, an arbitrator ruled that Hoffner had been wrongfully fired by Minnesota State-Mankato in May 2013.
Now, Hoffner – who was hired by Minot State on Jan. 30 – has the option to return to Mankato and have his four-year contract reinstated.
But why would he want that?
MSU-Mankato didn't just wrongfully fire Hoffner, the administration absolutely disrespected him. The bigwigs tarnished his reputation, then tried to kick him by the wayside without repercussions.
Hoffner's career has a blemish on it, and for no fault of his own.
By now, we all know the story.
He was placed on investigative leave for nearly all of the 2012 football season. On Nov. 30, 2012, charges against him for possessing and producing child pornography were dropped. That should have been the end of it. No more. Zip. Nada.
Instead, the university revised Hoffner's title to assistant director of facilities development and relegated him to an office – more like a closet – on the far side of MSU-Mankato's campus. He also was suspended for 20 days, which the university is now responsible to pay him for. Then on May 6, 2013, MSU-Mankato dropped him like a rotten sack of potatoes.
But. He. Did. Nothing. Wrong.
As he should have, Hoffner filed a labor grievance against the university with the Bureau of Mediation Services.
Arbitration takes forever and a day.
During that time, he applied for numerous head coaching jobs, but to no avail. Then Minot State gave him an opportunity, a fresh start. MSU Athletic Director Rick Hedberg knew there'd be some baggage, but the Beavers were getting an accomplished coach. One with a history of winning in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, and a few conference and division titles to prove it.
"We knew he had some things he still needed to work out," Hedberg said, "but he was the right fit."
Now, one week after spring practice began, Hoffner has the keys to the Mankato football program once again, if he wants them.
He should toss them in the Souris River.
The Mavericks are loaded with talent – he's produced NFL players there – and Minot State is in rebuilding mode. But returning to Mankato would be no seamless transition.
It would be awkward, for one. If he returns – and even if he doesn't – there's a good chance some members of that administration will be unemployed in the not-so-distant future.
Hoffner did not return a phone call or media request by press time
Thursday, but his lawyer, Chris Madel, made no qualms about it: "I'm
hoping that after the powers that be carefully review the decision that they're going to clean house at Minnesota State University," Madel told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "Anybody that had any decision-making authority with respect to Todd Hoffner's employment should resign or be fired."
Even with a fresh administration, that place has to summon memories of turmoil for Hoffner. And in Minot, his parents – Arlene, 80, and Leo, 82 – live 90 minutes away in Esmond, N.D.
MSU-Mankato is responsible for back pay, and to pay the difference in salaries – $101,190 in Mankato to $90,000 at Minot State.
His wife, Melodee, said a return to Mankato is "in discussion right now."
Said Hedberg: "He's our head football coach until we're told otherwise."
It's ultimately up to Hoffner. He's got the keys to two programs, but only one has a clean slate. Only one has a newfound excitement around the program. And only one program gives him the opportunity to beat the school that disrespected him.
Oh, that would be sweet.

First regulatory affairs grads honored
Thursday, August 6, 2009
St. Cloud, Minn. – The first 12 graduates of the St. Cloud State University master's degree in regulatory affairs and services (RAS) program will be honored during a reception from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 12, at the university's new Twin Cities Graduate Center in Maple Grove.
The regulatory affairs and services degree program ‒ the first in the country to focus specifically on medical devices ‒ is designed to educate professionals to lead medical device companies through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and international regulatory processes that ensure new medical devices are safe and effective, processes that are critical to getting a product to market.
The graduates began evening and weekend classes at North Hennepin Community College in Brooklyn Park when the program was launched in September 2007. A second cohort of 19 students began classes there in fall 2008, but the third cohort will attend classes beginning this fall at the Twin Cities Graduate Center.
The medical device industry has identified regulatory affairs and services as an occupation in acute need of more trained professionals, according to program director Charles "Chuck" Swanson, who during his 30 years in the industry played an influential role in establishing many of the guidelines and procedures in use today by the FDA. "The RAS professional's role is critical in the development, commercialization and manufacturing of medical devices and impacts nearly every aspect of a medical device business from research and development to marketing and sales," Swanson said.

Long beautiful hairstyle with volume and fringe
Pin-straight hair works because of the drama it brings, but some hair textures benefit more from a straightened hairstyle with a bit of volume. This dark golden blonde hair has layered sides, and falls down to the shoulder blades. A simple part shows the layered sides going down the sides of the head, with the shortest forming a fringe that can casually be styled to slightly hang over the face. The ends have been blow-dried to curl under, and the resulting volume gives body to just otherwise plain straight hair.

When I woke up I sneezed twice, so I immediately knew I was coming down with a cold.
If I had sneezed three times, it would have just been a regular sneeze, because I always sneeze in threes when I�m healthy. Four sneezes would be an allergy. Two is a cold.
Yes, this is what I spend my time thinking about. Sad, isn�t it.
Even if I hadn�t been this self-aware, I think I might have seen this one coming simply by virtue of the fact that both my kids were sick. Every parent knows that children + cold = sick parent. It�s one of those laws of nature. If my kids are sneezing and I am in the path of those germs when the sneezes are snezzed, I will get them. I guess then it is actually the laws of physics. But the end result is the same. I get a facefull of sneeze and then I get sick.
The best case scenario is that I don�t actually get sick until my kids are better, because god knows, there is nothing worse than taking care of a sick kid when you yourself are sick. Well, actually, there is something worse: Taking care of two sick kids. And if by some stroke of total cosmic misfortune your husband also gets sick and you have to take care of him too, that is really the worst case scenario and is grounds for an immediate spa day.
The good news was, after three days, the kids were well enough that I could send them back to school. But back at snot central, my sneezes had worked their way up into my head and by 2pm, I had a full-blown cold.
�I think I�mb sick,� I said to my husband over the phone.
�You think, what?� he asked.
�I gob a code,� I tried again.
�You gob a code?� He repeated. �Honey, I don�t know what you are trying to tell me but I�m not in the mood for any guessing games. I�m not feeling well and I think I may be coming down with a cold.�
I sighed and hung up. I got the funny feeling there was definitely a spa day in my future.
I was still looking for some sympathy at 3pm when school let out.
�You gob be sick,� I told my kids when I picked them up from school.
�We what what sick?� my daughter asked in confusion.
�You GOB BE sick,� I said emphatically.
�What�s a gob?� asked my son. I shook my head. It was so stuffed my eyeballs hurt.
�Gob. GOB!!� I said. They looked at me blankly. It was no use. I either needed a Cold translator or I�d have to wait five to seven days to make my point that they got me sick. I was so frustrated. I wanted sympathy. I wanted understanding. I wanted someone else to blame for my misery.
I decided to try a different tact.
�I hab a Code.� I said
�A code for what?� asked my son.
�A Code. A CODE,� I said loudly. �Ib by Doze!�
�Mom, you are not making any sense,� said my daughter. �Are you sick?�
�Yes. YES!� I yelled, �I�mb sick! I�mb sick.�
�Oh,� she replied. �So what�s for dinner?�

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Clucking fantastic!In full: Well, I must say I am a tad biased writing this review since I was on a high from winning 3rd woman trophy :D yet I'm sure others would agree that this is a fantastically organised race considering it's only in its 2nd year of succession.Course inclines came in waves - pretty straight for a lot then a long, steady climb would knock you back a few seconds. Airfield terrain was more gravelly than I expected. Compared with Andy Reading 10k which also includes an airfield, let's just say I can tell why they need to class it as MT.Wonderful marshalling - about 60 I think and super goodie bags - I even got a buff in mine 'cause I was 3rd :DPlenty of race photographers if you like seeing yourself in photos after the race and although only 200 runners at the event, it did have that big race feeling probably due to the many sponsors who helped out.Not a PB course. I shaved 20 seconds off mine but pretty much died at the end. Be back next year though!Thanks Sole Destroyers!Date of review: June 20, 2011
In short: Beautiful route, fast, flat and friendlyIn full: Just got back from White Horse HM - first time at this one for me - definitely be back next year. Matched my PB at 1.39 - not too fussed about beating it since it was a SCORCHING hot day so conditions weren't exactly on my side.Three well-manned water stations and eager crowd support through the villages made it uplifting and the peaceful quiet country lanes made for a lovely HM at this time of year.ALMOST flat except for two small inclines at the end - weren't that dramatic though really.Only thing I'd change is that I'd prefer a medal instead of a mug as I'm sure most runners would.Date of review: April 10, 2011
In short: Back for 2010 - just as good as last year - if not better!In full: Just got back from Abo 2010.Well, what can I say?It was a fight or flea for me with this race - put all the training in, not injured, clocking good times then last night my father died. I had to decide whether I would still run or not - I did and I decided to run in his memory.It was tough at some points but everyone was spectacular. I talked to and hugged and shook hands with so many 'strangers' and people off the forum and it made for the most unforgettable race of my life.Home in 3.41 (4 mins off PB) - not the 3.30 I aimed for but I went off a bit quick and slowed naturally around 17/18 miles.Course was pretty much the same as last year so nice to know some familiar points.Marshals were fantasic - as was crowd support. Plenty of water, jelly babies and a woman at around mile 20 with COKE which I could have kissed her for (I didn't though, I'm not a lesbian)Only thing that p'd me off a bit was the slow start on the track - getting around it (especially as it was frosty so quite slippery) and then off onto the route was a bit of a claustrophobic nightmare but it's nice that they uphold tradition and have the start/finish at the track as it makes it feel more athletic.SUCH a flat course. Have ran a few XC races and Woodstock 12 a while back (9 hills and mini hills in between!) and this was definitely a positive.Will be back next year.Favourite Mara. Date of review: October 17, 2010
In short: Hilly but humble!In full: Just got back from Woodstock 12. What a great race. 3 laps around Blenheim Palace with some challenging hills.Went off a bit too fast and paid for it on the last lap but everything was very well organised and there was a real 'local feel' to the race which is always nice in these times of big, sponsored events.Rated as a bronze and you can really see why - loads of really friendly marshals (the guy on the little bridge was fantastic) and plenty of water on all three laps.Medal was good quality and goodie bag included some refuelling food.Quite a clubby race but beginners would be welcomed too.Anyone who has never seen Blenheim Palace would love this scenic course. I'm from the area so know it well but definitely appreciated it.REALLY sunny - shades were a must and pretty hot in places (roll up your vest and run in your sports bra heat) but trees provided some shade in places.The descents were fun - wheeeeeeeee all the way down yet you really had to pull out all the stops on some of those hills which seemed everlasting at times!Not a PB course but fun nonetheless :)Date of review: September 18, 2010
In short: Fantastic multi-terrain HM but VERY hilly and stiley!In full: Well that was... BRUTAL!!!!Jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez. I have never been so hot in my entire lifetime (Got the impression a good number of runners didn't even turn up due to the 30 degree heat this year)Considering my road PB is 1.39, I'm pretty happy with my result of 1.47 - considering the sweltering climes and there were about 5/6 hills, it was multi-terrain, there were about 10 stiles to climb over and a few fields to dodge cows in!!!A fantastic race though. Atmosphere and organisation were superb - seamless.A few kids races at the start - we got there early so saw these, so cute.10k and HM set off at the same time which was a bit odd as I could have sworn I'd read that 10k was meant to start before - oh well, didn't cause any problems for me.No timing pens or anything although runners running 1.10 - 1.20 were told to be at the front - at this point, everyone moved back!Soooooo hot even just standing before the race but spirits were high and very friendly bunch.Got a mile in and was absolutely hating it - actually considered pulling out around mile 3 - what a wimp! But soldiered on through pleasant local scenery taking in some childhood haunts - through church yards, fields and then onto some narrow towpath which had a big muddy splodgey puddle in which I got my precious Glides grubby in.Continued up the tow path for a few more miles, passing a few people but mainly just sticking behind this guy I was using as a pacer (thanks whoever you are).Lots of hedgerow to run through - really itchy on the legs but not a massive problem and obviously it's nature, what can you do!Water stations were REALLY well manned and there was plenty of fluid to go around - was able to chuck a few cups over myself AND carry full bottles around for the next few miles - really appreciated it.Hills were a KILLER. There were a LOT as well - and I thought Chiltern Chase was hilly - compared to this, that was a walk in the park!Talked to a few runners along the route, 90% of people didn't have iPods - I don't think others would have appreciated people wearing iPods at this event.Ran in shade whenever possible but at most times was in the blazing sun. Lots of rabbit holes to dodge and cow pats to run around and in the later stage of the race, there were a LOT of stiles to climb over (possibly 10?)Missed seeing mile 12 but I think it was there - as all the other mile markers were and then looped back round through the churchyard again before springint to the home straight and then the finish.Finished in 1.47.59 - not sure what time it'll come out as in their results as it wasn't chip timed - just people writing it down on a clipboard but still, didn't run it for the time - enjoyed the course thoroughly, if only it were 5 degrees cooler, it would have been ideal as it felt like a slog because of the heat.Date of review: July 10, 2010
In short: Lovely summer 10k - but watch out for the hills!In full: First time at this event and really enjoyed it.Weather came out great after a miserable, grey start so pretty much everyone ran in shades ^_^A very friendly, atmospheric 'villagey' type race - plenty of room before to stretch out. Not many toilets and a huuuuge queue beforehand but that's always the way isn't it?Route was great - challenging, two steepish hills (could have been worse but still enough to slow you down) and the rest through pretty woodlands. Two big fields stood out - one with lavendar, the other filled with poppies, really uplifting :)iPod-friendly - lots of runners using them since it was mainly off-road/multi-terrain.home in 45.26 so managed 7.3 m/m which i don't think is too bad considering the course and the fact it was pretty sunny too!road shoes were fine - worn my lunarglides and didn't come unstuck though i think had it been wet, the course would have got muddy and i wouldn't have felt confident running at speed.nice home stretch on grass and plenty of water/medals to go round.has made me want to get more into multi-terrain running.a*!Date of review: June 13, 2010
In short: Back again - superb once more, but skimped on drinks?In full: Well I was back again at Stratford this year, ran a PB last year and absolutely loved the course (the scenery that is, the inclines and declines are a bit of a pain in the arse - and legs!) so decided to run it on a 'just get through' mentality since I'd been out with a metatarsal SF for 6 weeks.Lovely scenery again - same as before really, identical route (?) apart from the different start. Although there were a good number of runners, the start was very smooth and I got over the mat only 20 seconds or so after the gun. Could have been timing pens but can't have everything.Very, very hot day - so much so that I fainted at 18 miles and had to be held up by an old Pirate. Thanks Pirate! Soldiered on after being stuffed full of banana and SIS drink and made it through in a shocking time of 4.33 (PB is 3.45!!!) - am blaming the conditions and my poor training due to injury.Drinks were OK - plenty of water but was a little miffed that there was only an energy drink at mile 19 and it wasn't in bottles so couldn't take on and carry it along. SIMPLY WAS NOT ENOUGH for the price of the Marathon! Also no goodie bag - again, budget could have stretched to this?Nice medal - nice contrast to last year and nice to have got through and been awarded one!All in all, a very memorable race - one that I'll definitely be back for next year. That'll be my 3rd time running Stratford (6th or 7th Marathon depending on whether I do 1 or 2 more this year)Definitely worth running.Date of review: April 25, 2010
In short: Shocking organisation & undulating not flatIn full: Well, what can I say, this was definitely worse than last year.Didn't get my race pack 'til about 3 days before the race and even then my number looked like it'd been printed off a home computer since it didn't have the Nike swoosh on it like everyone else's did so made me feel like an outsider when everyone was stood round.Start was terrible - a 5k and 10k were being run about 2 minutes before the actual HM so the atmosphere was extremely claustrophobic and it was frustrating having to try and speed past slower 10k runners in that very narrow section where the road had been closed off.No timing pens or even timing signs so you pretty much had to judge for yourself if you wanted a set time. As a result, most runners started out too fast, 500 or so must have passed me and then I passed them at mile 2/3.From what I've heard from other forumites, baggage seemed to be a problem too.No mile marker at mile 9 which threw me off a bit and no energy drinks at all - their budget could have surely stretched to this.Not many marshals for a HM and the final mile had two rather steep inclines and then a swerve round a bend to the finish stretch - which was again, quite narrow and claustrophobic.No goodie bag and no refreshments after either - not even a bunch of bananas.Set a PB by 6 minutes - 1.39 but won't be doing this one again.Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: MK - what can you expect, eh?In full: Well, after working in MK for quite a time, what did I expect to see other than dull grey buildings and the occasional man-made lake?Still, good support & organisation & a nice shiny medal - which always seems to make it worthwhile.Some nice tree sections at points but mostly, ran along the redways of MK - traffic speeding past in the opposite direction is a killer for motivation.Not too clubby - a nice mix of runners.Good preparation for a Marathon, but ultimately, only really good for that. Date of review: December 18, 2009
In short: Flat, Fast, PB potentialIn full: So this was my first stab at a 10k road race. Preferring long distance, I'm not really sure why I entered it since the 6.2 miles is generally either shorter or on par with my usual daily mileage.Either way, the atmosphere was very good & friendly - slightly clubby but nothing too intimidating for a beginner or non-club runner.Truthfully, I think the location could have been better - there are so many beautiful parts around this county, so I was a little miffed by a big section of the race being ran round a rather uninspiring airfield track.Marshalling was great and even a water station half way for anyone who wanted to top up. (Not necessary if you're well hydrated though IMO)No iPod rule in force - but for good reason, runners needed to be totally aware seeing as there were sections on roads.Nice souvenir t-shirt at the end, a bit big for a small but will do for sleeping in! Plenty of refreshments for afterwards too in the warm, convenient hall. Showers/lockers too I believe.Overall, a well-organised 10k but didn't change my opinion on 10ks - all over too quickly.Kudos to the Alchester Running Club though and a lot of money raised for the extremely worthwhile charity - MacMillan.

Family of missing man asks for public's help
Frigid weather calls for everyone to be on guard
The recent days of sub-zero temperatures, persistant snowfall and poor driving conditions have been challenging, at best, for all of us.
But as is the case in all sorts of inclement weather, the elements are tougher on some segments of our population than they are on others.
The frigid weather, with windchills in excess of -30, make it a prime time to check on the welfare of friends and family members who may be especially affected by the cold.
The elderly, those with chronic illnesses, those with old or sub-standard living conditions and others who may have a more difficult time than most in these conditions, deserve to be looked in on.
With weather conditions like what we've had for the past few days, a five minute phone call or visit, can literally save a life.
Let us not forget the animals in our lives as well. Pets or livestock require special attention and accommodations when it's this cold.
But perhaps the best advice in coping with weather related problems is to avoid them in the first place. Monday morning's power outage in the city of Houghton and today's outages as mentioned in a page 1A story, plainly illustrate the need for alternative sources of heat, light and communication.
Likewise, preventative measures should be taken when traveling. A simple winter emergency kit with a shovel, sand, candles, water and a little food in vehicles could go a long way to avoiding a winter tragedy.
And finally, despite the extremely cold temperatures, ice conditions are never a sure thing.
Early Saturday morning a snowmobiler went through the ice on the Portage Canal, the first incident of its kind this season. While history tells us it won't be the last this year, ice related accidents are perhaps the easiest to prevent.
We live in a very special part of the world. An area in which our unique climate and natural beauty are the biggest attraction. But as we've seen around the world with growing frequency, natural disasters can and do occur everywhere. We ask that everyone please do their part to make this a safe winter in the Keweenaw.

No those are definitely good Hei Sha if they are the same 70 ml versions of the ones I have. Very strong rounding and thickens mouthfeel heavily. Can demolish aroma in certain instances but this is avoided through choosing a tea whose major characteristics do not include aroma (such as Ripe Puerh, very old Sheng, aged oolong, or high roasted anything) or just seasoning it heavily and in time it will erase aroma less and less and eventually start to give back to the brews and create something really flavorful & Qi filled!

They look similar to a heixingtu pot I've got. However, I don't have enough experience to know if a) my pot is actually heixingtu, and b) if that's what this is.

WASHINGTON --- The Washington Nationals did their best to douse themselves, their ballpark and their euphoric fans with champagne this week. It was a scene unprecedented in the nation's capital.
After all, the only other times a major league franchise had finished first here, prohibition was in effect.
Now, Washington is home to baseball's best record, and the Nationals will open the city's first postseason since 1933 on Sunday in a National League Division Series against the St.Louis Cardinals or Atlanta Braves.
CHAMPS OR CHUMPS? Who will reach the World Series
Getting to this point was historic in many ways, with a team built by a first-time general manager, run by an out-of-retirement bench mastermind and fueled in part by a once-in-a-generation talent for whom prohibition might as well still be in effect.
Outfielder Bryce Harper, 19, isn't old enough to share in the champagne, but he's advanced enough on the field to be a catalyst for a team that has a wunderkind pitcher to match in Stephen Strasburg.
Oh, wait, he won't be active.
SCOUTS' REPORT: Insiders break down the field
There's story line No.1, the shutdown of Strasburg during the first week of September that often overshadowed a team that spent all but 10 days of the season in first place.
When Harper calls the Nationals' 98-win season, "The best experience I've ever been part of," well, he's still a teenager.
When manager Davey Johnson, who joins Billy Martin as the only men to take four franchises to the playoffs, says, "I knew (last) August we could win the pennant this year," well, we should have paid attention.
Strasburg and Harper, the first overall draft picks in 2009-10, get the attention, but it's the collection of talent assembled by GM Mike Rizzo that put the Nationals in first place.
Even Rizzo admitted next year was the target to unseat the five-time division champion Philadelphia Phillies.
"This is huge," Rizzo crowed after Monday's clinching. "The National League East champs — are you kidding me?"
No joke, not any more.
"Four short years ago, we weren't very good," says Rizzo, 51, who took over from Jim Bowden in 2009. "We're scratching the surface. It's a young athletic team. We'll be back and doing this a couple more times."
It all comes back to Rizzo
Bred as the architect of the Arizona Diamondbacks farm system, Rizzo came to Washington in 2006 as an assistant to Bowden at the same time the franchise morphed from wandering ward of Major League Baseball to an ownership group led by Ted Lerner that has bought into Rizzo's team-building philosophy.
"We drafted and developed nearly all our players or acquired them in trades with guys we developed," he says. "Of the 25 guys on the team, 21 have come in during the last three years."
He drafted, he traded, he built. But Rizzo — and the Nationals' season — is still destined to be defined by when he stood firm. Strasburg's season ended Sept.7 when, according to a plan announced in spring training, Rizzo imposed an innings limit for long-term health reasons on the 15-game winner's first full season after Tommy John elbow surgery in 2010.
"Whatever heat we take for that, I'll gladly shoulder it," Rizzo says. "I heard the comment that the landscape has changed because you're expected to win this year. We're expected to win because we did the right thing with Jordan Zimmermann (who had the same surgery in 2009) last year and into this year, just like we'll do the right thing with Stephen Strasburg, and he'll be part of it this year and next year and beyond."
Thus, the Strasburg decision will be revisited one more time — that's a guarantee. And the only way Rizzo gets to nod smugly and triumphantly — for this year at least — is if the Nationals win the World Series. Otherwise, regardless of how the team's season ends, the speculation will be about how it would have been different if Strasburg still were pitching. For now, Rizzo reminds, "We've got a pretty darned good team with him and a pretty darned good team without him."
Even without Strasburg, the Nationals have the hardest-throwing starting rotation in the major leagues. Gio Gonzalez led the majors with 21 victories. He and Zimmermann, who will follow him in the playoff rotation, both had better ERAs (2.89 and 2.94) than Strasburg (3.16) this season.
"Power arms, power arms — that's what translates in the postseason," says Chipper Jones, whose Braves play the Cardinals today in a one-game wild card to face the Nationals. "It's cold, guys are all wrapped up, it's hard to center the ball when a guy throws it 100 miles an hour. And these guys have a bunch of 'em."
Johnson was missing link
Washington's only previous postseason experience were the World Series played by the 1924, '25 and '33 Senators.
This year's team won 98 games, one short of the '33 team's Washington record. But those Senators slipped to seventh the next year, missing by one spot in the standings of fulfilling the city's long-time description of, "First in war, first in peace and last in the American League."
Washington, in fact, finished last or next-to-last 18 of the next 39 seasons.
It was more of the same during the Nationals' first six years in town — until a third-place finish in the NL East last season, when Johnson took over as interim manager after Jim Riggleman abruptly quit on June23, 2011.
Johnson, already on the payroll as an advisor to Rizzo, hadn't managed in the majors since 2000, but he had one more bit of advice for Rizzo — to make him the permanent manager.
"In my mind's eye, I was the perfect fit," says Johnson, 69. Rizzo agreed. "He's been the perfect fit for every team he's been with," he says.
Players noticed. Left-hander John Lannan, called up from the minors to replace Strasburg, has been with the Nationals for all or part of the past six seasons. "The whole mentality of the club is different," he says.
Harper a hype machine
Though first baseman Adam LaRoche, 32, has matched a career high with 100 RBI and he and the rest of the infield — under 30s Ryan Zimmerman, Ian Desmond and Danny Espinosa — combined for 100 homers, the buzz revolves around Harper and Strasburg. And the best measure of their place on the team is how veterans react to young players who have been hyped since — in Harper's case — before they were in high school.
"Harper has guys who care about him, maybe even protect him," Gonzalez says. "Those guys see that shining star and want him to stay that way."
His power, speed and all-out play creates expectations in Nationals Park that something special could happen at any moment.
"This is very fresh," Johnson says. "The persona on this team — they're all good-looking, they're all athletic, their makeup is all off the charts. They work too hard. They try too hard. I haven't had to be fatherly with any of them. I have (elsewhere) in the past."
Johnson has seen this phenom phenomenon before, managing teen protégés Dwight Gooden and Darryl Strawberry with the New York Mets in the 1980s, both of whom later damaged their careers with sub-stance-abuse issues.
His current emerging stars, Johnson says, "Had great upbringings. They're very driven. Strawberry wasn't that driven. One year, we had two weeks to go in the season, he had 39 home runs. He could care less if he hit 40. Harper would squeeze every inch out of it."
And it's a different time, when video or tweets about Harper go viral, whether it be blowing a kiss at an opposing pitcher after hitting a homer in the minor leagues or telling a news reporter in Toronto, "That's a clown question, bro."
"People have this perception of (Harper) that social media and everyone who doesn't know him have created," Zimmerman says. "He's the first one to go through that in our sport."
But he also is generating the type of attention reserved in the past for the likes of Ken Griffey Jr., Alex Rodriguez or Mickey Mantle.
Winning is a big part of it, says Zimmerman, who joined the Nationals in September2005.
"I don't think it'd be as elevated as it is if we weren't 30 games over .500," he says. "If we're 20 games under .500, I don't think they'd come out to see Strasburg pitch, to see Bryce play."
Zimmerman knows everybody's watching now that the Nationals' season will be defined in a matter of days or weeks.
"It's unbelievable, better than I expected," Zimmerman says, sporting the T-shirt he wears nearly every day: "Don't be a clown, bro."

At IBM i 7.1, we've been using Scott Klement's JDBCR4 for some time now. It's been great, although we've been doing inserts not as it's shown in the JDBCR4 presentation, but by sending the SQL statement to SQL Server for it to then use the Linked Server to select the records to insert. But we're finding limitations in doing it that way (when inserting millions of records) - every so often we get a "Connection Reset" message. I'm told that the Linked Server can't reliably handle such a large volume of records, so we're looking at other options.
One option is to instead have the RPG program use JDBCR4 to directly insert into the SQL Server database. From my understanding based on the presentation, this method inserts one record at a time instead of writing a block of records. I ran a test insert and it took about 5 minutes to insert 10,000 records, way too slow for our purposes. This test was block-reading the file, but was preparing and executing the insert statement for every record read.
Presentation: http://www.scottklement.com/presentations/External%20Databases%20from%20RPG.pdf
See pg 25 for the Prepared Statement Insert
Another suggestion was using Client Access to create a file for a bulk insert by SQL server.
We also tried using CPYTOIMPF and then FTP'd the file to a location for SQL Server to load the file using a bulk insert. The bulk insert only took a minute for 2 million records. The COPY and FTP took about 10 minutes. This speed was great compared to both the test I mentioned above (inserting directly to the db from RPG) and compared to the method we have been using of sending a Linked Server statement to SQL Server (when it would work).
I was hoping to use JDBCR4 to perform the insert so there would be less steps involved in the process. It's not necessary, but I thought I might draw upon others' experience.

Thank you so much! You helped me out a lot. For me I don't want a meat substitute to actually have a meaty texture. With Amy's, Boca and Gardien among the others listed I don't have that problem, and they are oh so tasty as well as having light sodium and low fat keeping it healthy for the environment and the temple that is my body. Honestly look at the sodium at most of these items, they don't exceed 800mg which is very low as 2,300mg is the daily requirement. Thank you again PETA & Could you maybe add on the new Gardien Turkey Cutlets to a Vegan Thanksgiving Menu?
Jill said, on Feb 28 2011: "…Lightlife, for example, is owned by ConAgra–a major supporter of beef and other animal products. It is common knowledge that Boca and Gardenburger are owned by Kellog and Kraft." It was not common knowledge to me, and I would love to know how to find out who really owns what.
My problem always is to find one of these meat substitutes that isn't loaded with sodium. Haven't found any here so far, but did find a number of bad links.
I see a couple substitutes on the list have hydrogenated ingredients which are not good for the body. I'm all for eating Vegan and trying to replace dairy and animal protein, but it has to be healthy for ME as well.
Why is Egg bad ?
Morning Star veggie burger have soy that has GMO in it
try Amy Kitchen veggie burger all natural organic
A lot of diners sell the "Gardenburger" brand which isn't bad, but for home I buy Morningstar Original Grillers….they have the meaty texture and look more like a real hamburger and not crunchy at all…..I put ketchup on one side and mustard on the other. You can cook them in a little oil in the pan, but I usually just microwave them. I keep hearing about Seitan and was hoping to find it in this list but don't see it and I always wanted to try it.
Dre, Quorn products pretty much all contain egg and most of them contain milk so they're not vegan,
Hope this helps,
Laura 🙂
In love with the vegan garden burgers ,and yves dogs .daiya cheese , earth balance butter ,and veganaise are a staple at my house
AnnieN, the entire Redwood Co. range is vegan. They include alternatives to beef, chicken, cod, duck, pork, scampi, tuna, and turkey. Also there are many Linda McCartney products which are cruelty-free. There's a good chance you've discovered this for yourself by now
Why aren't quorn products anywhere in the food stuff I've seen on here? I LOVE quorn products…they're my favorite as far as meat substitutes.
can i find stores of such sort in Hungary or Ukraine for example?
Boca Burger and Garden Burger are to be boycotted! Their parent companies poured tons of money into the campaign to STOP my state–CA–from labeling GMO foods! And Morningstar Farms is made with GMO soy. You must decide to be a conscious eater and consumer.
Just beginning my 30 days as a vegan, and wondered which mock-meat products in the UK are vegan? All those listed above are not available here. Thanks!
@Kat, Mission says their tortillas are vegan: http://www.missionfoodsfsc.com/about/FAQs.aspx
Does anyone know of any tortilla brands that are vegan? Everytime I read the packaging for them, I find the ingredients suspect.
could anyone direct me to a list of gluten free vegan foods? or maybe give me some of the foods from above you know to be gluten free > i would really love to see that 🙂 thankyou
select morningstarfarms products are vegan according to a search on their site however the list is slim.
Thank you so much Kristen and Calliopia! I am new to vegan-ism and your tips are wonderful. Also, I wanted to agree with a previous comment: I don't know about all MorningStar products, but the label on the breakfast patties does list egg whites as an ingredient.
Just be careful of the fake meats – if you are vegan and trying to avoid animal by-products (dairy/eggs) a lot of the Morning Star Farm and Boca products have milk and/or eggs in them. I loved the Morning Star Farm Black Bean burgers and was sad to find they have egg AND milk 🙁
Canola is not a genetically modified food. It just had it's name changed because it was called RAPE seed and consumers did not want to buy something called RAPE OIL. The words Canada and oil were combined to form the word canola because it was more apealing to consumers. The majority of plants and animals that are products of agriculture have been genetically modified through breeding to produce more food, to make food that lasts longer, grows faster. This has been done to yeild more profit for the industry and to feed a growing population.
Hello does anyone have some good recommendations for veg stores in New Zealand.
I've found it difficult to find a readily accessible line of vegan products. I've finally found what I'm looking for…. Arbonne products! Over 300 products, most of which are also gluten free!! I love it!!!
vegan by design.. its the meat n dairy (milk is for baby cows, get rice, almond, or soymilk) that lead to heart attack, stroke, pad, ed, (pcrm.org) ect.. the arteries become as hard and btittle as the stem of a clay pipe. cutting them with a scissor at autopsy makes a distinct crunching sound. this blockage also occurs in the arteries to the brain. when they close off, part of the brain dies, a stroke..
@shellojelloMARS I'm not a big tofu cooker because I usually just get the veggie burgers and such but my aunt uses tofu quite frequently, and she said that the tofu tends to absorbs the majority flavors it is surrounded by. Example: She cooks stir fry with tofu and her sauce of her choosing, and the tofu blends in with the sauce and sort of absorbs that flavor…Also, make sure you have the right type of tofu(firm,extra firm,etc.) for whatever your cooking with. Hope that helped some(:
If you eat seafood, you're a pescatarian. A fish is not a vegetable and I feel like I need to give a small course in biology when I tell people I'm a vegetarian and they ask if I eat fish/chicken. We really need to utilize pescatarian more because I feel like it hurts the vegetarian image not to.
On a side note, an organic free range/cage free chicken is still a suffering animal. To put what may seem like a very out of place quote, "It's a way we had over here for living with ourselves. We cut 'em in half with a machine gun and give 'em a Band-Aid. It was a lie. And the more I saw them, the more I hated lies" (Apocalypse Now). Call a spade a spade because calling it a heart doesn't make it one even if it makes you feel better about it. I don't mean to be preachy, I'm glad anyone is making some progress, but this is all about twisting words into something sweet and symphonic but completely misleading.
Where is the best place to shop for veg foods?
I understand that PETA wants to make being vegan/vegetarian seem simple to meat eaters so that they may try to adopt a better lifestyle that promotes cruelty-free food. Listing products from companies who are also responsible for a huge chunk of animal cruelty and death, however, doesn't seem to meet that objective. Lightlife, for example, is owned by ConAgra–a major supporter of beef and other animal products. It is common knowledge that Boca and Gardenburger are owned by Kellog and Kraft. Not always the best to support either.
Since 75% to 90% of the soy produced in the US are GE (genetically modified), and knowing how harmful it can be, (GE foods are not listed in the food labels); how can you, with any precautions or advices about the harms of GE foods, suggest soy as a HEALTHY substitute to animal protein. I'm vegetarian, but I consume eggs (from organic, free range chickens), fish and seafood, but not soy, corn or canola, because they are all GE, and proven harmful to animal labs, and even to people.
I absolutely adore the new Morning Star California Turk'y Burger! It's the best burger/pattie I've tried so far. Love it!
I love Gardein! I purchase both their crispy "chikn" strips and their breasts… The texture is insanely like chicken it's almost scary! My meat eating aunt thought it was real chicken! Def give their products a try!
I am in medical school and could no longer stand eating meat after beginning cadaver dissection. I'm struggling keeping a balanced diet with enough proteins. Veg meals are more complex to cook sometimes…but I feel great about the change and hope to get in the swing of things with new recipes from these lists! ><
I can't get tofu to taste the way it does in the frozen entree's I buy, how do I do it?
Gardein meats are a wonderful option also! They do include soy, but for those not concerned about soy consumption, these products are a great-tasting addition to any vegan diet.
I have gone back to being a vegetarian after thirty years. I am trying to find foods that provide protein and taste good too. I don't want to eat animals any more!!
I am a vegan allergic to soy. When there is little time to cook my own food these are my favorites: I love Amy's new rice pasta with Daiya cheese (soy free and amazing!). You can also buy bags of Daiya cheese at Whole Foods and other natural food stores(cheddar and mozzarella style). Whole Foods also has yummy Vegan pizza with Daiya cheese in the salad bar/foods section. Road's End Organics makes really good boxed Mac and Chreese (Shells and Chreese is my favorite). Sunshine Burgers can be found in Whole Foods and other natural foods stores and have 3 varieties (I like the Garden Herb ones). Earth Balance makes a wonderful soy-free buttery spread. Almond Dream is a fabulous soy free frozen non-dairy treat. Consider Tasty Bite and other pre-packaged Indian food with most varieties I've seen containing no soy. Amy's Lentil Vegetable soup and a few other Amy's soups are soy free. When I go to Chinese restaurants I order broccoli and other vegetables in vegan soy-free garlic sauce with rice or rice noodles. Hope this helps!
I also try to avoid soy just because of the high content of estrogen, it has led to a lot of reproductive problems with me because i have eaten it as a regular everyday food since i was 13…not to mention if you don't get organic soy products, they are grown just as bad as meats (added things to make the beans grow faster and bigger) or at least I've read and heard that places. I found that Ani's rawfood kitchen is amazing. There are TONS of recipes, declicious vegan ones at that, that take few ingredients and almost no prep time and you can eat them immediately. she uses all fresh ingredients and almost NEVER soy. Good luck, I have done well implementing her recipes not 100% but definitely at least one meal a day.
I am searching for recipes and products that do not incorporate soy because I am allergic to it. So no soy burgers, soy hot dogs, tofu…etc.
