>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Muddylicious!In full: My third Slog and as enjoyable as the first!Superb "race" and a wonderful reminder also that we have the freedom to do it.The only letdown was the poor PA equipment at the start,we couldn't hear all that was being said about the race.This was exacerbated by a few ignorant halfwits who carried on jabbering during the eulogy.Shame on them.Excellent course,the support all the way round was wonderful too!Hopefully I'll be back next year!Thank you everyone!! :-) Date of review: November 12, 2013
In short: Another Great weekend!In full: My 24th GNR and the best yet (though I think I say that line every year!).Excellent organisation (can't believe people are whinging about having to go upstairs!Just think if they used single deckers,the queue would be longer!).Superb entertainment all the way,even more so was the support from the start to the finish.Every step of the way was wonderful.Thank you to everyone who played their part!Looking forward to my "Silver Anniversary" next year!!Date of review: September 17, 2013
In short: A wonderful event!In full: I love this race.It's my favourite as it is a pure and simple event.No gimmicks,no celebs,no big prizes.A good mix of ages and experiences taking part in a pretty testing run.The start was a bit tight and the potholes could have caused some trips so needs sorting for next year.Glad to see chip timing at last.Marshalls and water stations as good as ever!Thank you! Support on the route seems to be growing too.I'll be back next year! Date of review: May 13, 2013
In short: A good raceIn full: Course improved on last year though a little congested around 6-8 mile point.Very well marshalled.Thank you to the water station helpers! Plenty of room in the stadium,good facilities.Can't understand though why some idiots still pin their numbers on their backs or run with those bloody i-pod things! Be sociable!Hope they can keep the same standard next year.Date of review: March 3, 2013
In short: Gosh it was chilly!In full: A good way to end a good year of running for me.Nice to see some familiar faces, though some are looking as old as me now (if not older!)Due to other commitments I've had to miss this race for the past 6 years. Good to see that it hasn't changed a bit! Well done to everyone today!Happy New Year for 2013! Date of review: December 30, 2012
In short: Muddy fantastic!In full: What a wonderful,wonderful race it was! If race is the right word!From the pre race warm up and a very moving 2 minute silence through to running and slogging with so many lovely people,this has to have been my favourite event of the year!A massive thank you to the marshalls,water station ladies and gents,jelly bean babes and the landowners.I hope I can get an entry for next year too!Date of review: November 12, 2012
In short: That's better!In full: At last Cardiff has realised it's potential.Many thanks to Steve Brace!Very well organised and marshalled.Couple of downers:Arseholes with ipod things who seemed oblivious to other runners and often impeded.I make no apologies to the ones I pushed out of the way and swore at for their ignorance.Mile markers seemed conspicuous by their absence but that could be down to my eyesight!All in all a very good race.Thank you Cardiff and thank you all those lovely wonderful fellow runners!Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: 23 years in a row...In full: And it just gets better and better1From arriving at the start,the baggage buses,the entertainment the whole pre-race build up is better than anywhere.The race(or run)is supported by some wonderful people,from start to finish.The water stations,First Aid points,showers (not that we needed them given the rain!) and those magnificent people of Newcastle,Gateshead and South Shields.Blooming fantastic!There is one niggle (and it crops up year after year!).There are still those halfwits who are starting in the wrong zone.The large lady who I passed after less than a mile was wearing an ornage number for zone B.She wasn't even walking,it was a ruptured duck waddle.I suspect she was wearing a number that someone had sold on via e-bay or something.However 'm not going to let that spoil my memories!I'll be back next year for number 24!Date of review: September 21, 2012
In short: Another playful run...In full: This was my 20th Hereford and,just like all the others,it was so enjoyable.Again no big names,no pretensions of being a big city half.Just a pure hard and honest half.Excellent marshalls,well managed water stations and a lovely all round atmosphere.I love it and I will be back!Date of review: May 13, 2012
In short: Oh dear...In full: Not sure what went wrong today but the first 20 finishers were sent in the wrong direction (no marshall?).Consequently there is confusion over wether results will stand.Good organisation at the start,smooth registration and good atmosphere.Lovely course,not too hilly (LIAR!!!).Will be back next year but please sort out the directions!Date of review: April 15, 2012

The i1Display Pro is the ultimate solution for Creative Perfectionists who demand speed, options and flexibility to attain color accuracy.
Color Perfectionists know that a calibrated and profiled display is a critical element in an efficient digital workflow. Nobody wants to spend hours at their monitor perfecting images only to find that their display wasn't accurately representing their digital files.

A PDF of the single user, unlimited seat license policy can be downloaded via the Support Tab link.
Perfect Color And More Control Than You Ever Thought Possible
Color Perfectionists shouldn't guess when it comes to on-screen color accuracy. The color you see on your monitor or projector is the color you should expect from your printer. Once you take the guesswork and frustration out of calibrating and profiling your displays, you'll save time and money while gaining full creative control over your images.
New State of the Art Instrument for Unrivaled Color Measurement Accuracy
i1Display incorporates new technologically advanced filter and optical systems, amazingly fast measurement speed, and unrivaled color accuracy on all modern display technologies including LED & Wide Gamut LCDs. It's also spectrally calibrated, which makes it field upgradeable to support future display technologies.

Unmotivated to Run? Read This. - Page 4
I'm Not Cut Out to Be a Runner
If you are capable of running, then you are cut out to be a runner. Don't think that you aren't cut out to be a runner. Don't let other people convince you of that.
Ignore them.
Don't waste your time wondering if you got the right gifts from the gene genie to run as fast as you want to run. Don't wallow in doubt about exactly where that genetic wall is for you when it comes to achieving a dream goal. Sure, genes do play a role in determining your running potential, but persistence, positive thinking, and lots of hard work may shift that proverbial wall. Just how much, I can't be sure.
Why don't you have some fun trying to find out?
Why not challenge your mind to see what it can convince the body to do? For Billy Mills, in that famous Olympic 10,000-meter race, believing in himself translated into running nearly a full minute better than his previous personal record.
If you are convinced you are cursed with a heavier endomorphic body type, then turn the negative into a positive.
Heavier runners can evolve into strong, sturdy runners. Stronger runners can usually handle more volume with less chance of injury than their brittle, nimble counterparts.
Regardless of how you look, if you can run, you're a runner, and you should be proud of that fact. Keep trying.
Don't quit.
That being said, I believe that runners, regardless of body type or goal, need some sort of fire in them to keep them running. It doesn't have to be a wildfire that's been lit by an arsonist. A fire can be pretty much anything that gets us out there onto the roads and trails. A fire can be the desire to impress a loved one, lose weight, win a bet, or simply feel we are taking positive steps toward improving our overall health.

Heres my story
So I was always a BB user and never imagined I'd come to hate that device one.
When the iPhone 3G came out, I quickly purchased one and sold it after one week. I wasn't very used to the touchscreen typing.
When the iPhone 4 came out, thats when I finally ditched my BB. What made me more attracted to the device was the look, to be honest. After using it for a few weeks, I grew in love with it and shortly after, I got my MacBook Pro 13-inch (2010). I guess thats when my addicted started!
After my MacBook Pro came the iPod nano (video camera gen.), after that came an iPod touch, after that came the original iPad which I stopped using only after a few weeks. I guess i wasn't too into tablet computing yet. However, when the iPad 2 came out, I went for it as usual and stopped using it after a few months. Mainly because it was a wifi version and I was constantly on the road.
It was only when the iPad 3 came out that I was hooked onto tablet computing. This time, I didn't make the same mistake twice and ordered the cellular version. I got a twin SIM card and basically had the same number in both my iPhone and my iPad. I did make the mistake of getting the 32 GB version. Nevertheless, I got used to unloading pictures and using the extra space for my newsstand articles.
I skipped the iPhone 4S because the biggest upgrade was Siri which isn't very useful here in Dubai but when the iPhone 5 came out, I got it and never regretted it. Yes, you do notice scuffs and dings easily, yes I was having battery issues in the beginning (I was playing around with it too much) but I convinced myself that it was just a phone and that is why I never used a case or cover with any of my iPhones or iPads (apart from the smart covers for typing and viewing).
However, when the iPad Mini came out, I was skeptical. I loved the compact size and portability but I hated the fact that there was no retina. I checked it out at the Apple Store dozens of times and always said the same thing "if only it had retina" but it didn't stop me from buying one. So I went and did just that, making sure not to make the same two mistakes I did before (cellular and storage). I got the 64 GB + LTE but I am so disappointed to say that I CANNOT get over the fact that the screen is so dull and I could SEE the PIXELS! Apart from that, the 'taps' the screen made when I was using it was so cheap. Overall, it felt like a cheap device and indeed it is one. So I gave it away and went back to my iPad 3 which is still suffering from lack of storage.
I now understand that not every device Apple makes is marketed to me. The Mini is targeted to those who always wanted an iPad but couldn't afford it or to those who use a different type of smartphone other than the iPhone, that way they could have a very portable iPad Mini along with a smartphone of their choice.
I just felt like I needed to talk about my story in case there's anyone out there who may want to go in the same steps.
Needless to say, when and if the iPad Mini retina display is released, I am so buying one. By that time my iPad 3 would be old anyways.
Thank you.

Re: Heres my story
But I must take exception with this statement. The iPad Mini is NOT targeted to those who cant afford a full sized tablet, or necessarily to those who "use a different type" of smartphone. Its just a variation on a tremendously successful product. Its smaller, lighter and more compact than the full size device without changing the overall experience. And I have not noticed any difference between tapping on a full size tablet vs the Mini. It certainly is not cheaply built, IMHO.
Ive had every version of the iPad except the iPad 4th gen, and, frankly, the Mini is my iPad of choice. The effective resolution is better than the first 2 full size tablets... and is "more retina" than they were by virtue of the same number of pixels in a smaller display. True, it is cheaper than the full size iPads, but that doesnt necessarily mean its for those who "couldn't afford" a full size tablet.

Heres my story
I absolutely love my iPad mini! As a women with small hands the mini fit perfectly whether I am typing in landscape or portrait mode. I probably will upgrade once the mini2 comes out. As far as my ip4s I am sticking with it because for me the 5 was too awkward feeling in my hands. Your right not ever Apple product is going to be right for everyone but its sure is fun trying everything when it comes out! So far I have gotten a MacBook Pro 13", iPad 2, iPad mini, iPhone 4S, Apple TV and the new iPod touch.

Heres my story
I agree with you so much. Many people that I know make every possible comment: the mini is too mini; the 5 is too tall. But the truth is that indeed apple makes products for all people, it doesn't make every product for every person. This said, I am still with my iPad 3 which I am not planning to change for no reason; my iPhone 4 needs an upgrade but I am still thinking about it. Maybe I will just wait and see what new will it be in the 5s. I still use (almost 8 hours per day) my MacBook mid2010 which is not the latest available product but after almost three thousand charging cycles is still a GREAT decide. Finally I see no need to change my iMac late2009. It is a beast!

George Bateman, U.S. Navy
Robert George Bateman received orders to report to San Diego, where he would complete boot camp at their Naval Training Center. Normally, the process would have taken 13 weeks, but Bateman completed it sooner.
The training center closed for Christmas, but Bateman didn't want to exercise his earned leave time. He was assigned to a special company, Company 526. He was selected by his company's members to be Laundry Petty Officer 3rd Class, and given a patch featuring a figure 8-shaped knot, which meant "You're 3rd Class, Knot Nothing." On Feb. 28, 1964, Batman reported to the USS Caliente AO-53 in the Portland, Ore. shipyard. The ship was in dry dock then, being updated for service in the first fleet of U.S. ships to go to war in Vietnam. The USS Caliente was a fast, refueling fleet Oiler. When Bateman first saw the Caliente, it was in "X mode," being overhauled and crawling with Naval personnel and civilian contractors. While this took place, Bateman and the rest of the crew lived on an APL, an Auxiliary Personnel Lighter. This was a barge used to house sailors along the pier as their ships were being worked on. Living there temporarily made things easier for the sailors, who could stay out of the contractors' way and get a break at night from their working hours readying the USS Caliente.
After a few weeks in X Division, Bateman was greeted by the ship's Chief Master-at-Arms and taken aboard the Caliente AO-53 to meet his Division Chief for the first time. He was assigned to the ship's Boiler Division, to train to repair all the equipment associated with steam propulsion systems. After a brief time assigned to the Boiler Division, the chief boiler tender selected Bateman to be trained as the ship's "oil/water king," which meant his duties were to test all fuels to be used by the Caliente and any combat ships the U.S. serviced in the fleet during the Vietnam tours. For this training, Bateman was sent to San Pedro, California for five weeks of fleet petroleum school.
After completing that training, Bateman was sent to Long Beach Naval Shipyard for boiler water testing school for one week. There he learned to test boiler feed water, test boilers, add boiler compounds to maintain limits, read boiler blow downs schedules and keep boiler records and logs. Another responsibility of Bateman's new title was to make sure that the ship's "potable water" (usable water) tanks were topped off before the ship went to its station off the Vietnam coast. This included keeping usage records and tracking gallons used per man, as the rule was that boiler tender's feed water comes before potable water for showers, etc. in the "head" (bathroom). This meant that Bateman had to, at times, put chains and padlocks on the doors of these areas, to ensure that the ship had enough water to carry out its duties.
While the USS Caliente assumed its position off the Vietnam coast, one of the crew's duties was to supply potable water to coastal ships Mine Sweeper Ocean and Mine Sweeper Coastal, since they didn't have evaporators onboard to distill seawater to potable water. There were also requests from large combat ships for potable water, but those ships had more engine rooms and thus more evaporators than the Caliente could sufficiently supply.
On Nov. 1, 1967, Bateman was released from the USS Caliente AO-53 in Long Beach, Calif., six days early, since the ship had to service other ships around the California Coast, and the Navy wanted to avoid the trouble of paying Bateman Inconvenience Pay.
Bateman hadn't lost any of the ambition that buoyed him throughout his early years. Instead of frittering away his spare time in the Navy, he studied, and exited the regular Navy as a Second Class Boiler Tender Petty Officer. He moved to Western New York and joined the Dunkirk Naval Reserve 3-20s to complete the last two years of regular service, and re-enlisted three times. Within the first two years, he was promoted to Boiler Tender First Class E-6. This was all while Bateman held a job at Ralston Purina as a maintenance man. He retired from Ralston Purina after 22 years of service.
Bateman lives in Forestville with his wife Bonnie Lee Klepfer, where he helps raise his three stepchildren.

FBI and DOJ are on it right? via Dearborn Muslim Calls for Killing Anti-Islam Protesters.
A recent Dearborn Patch article addressed concerns about the location of the annual Dearborn Arab Festival. For several years, the festival has been held on Warren Avenue.
The local population is divided over whether to move the festival, and, even more importantly, over how Muslims should respond to protesters. The Dearborn Area Community Members Facebook group hosted a discussion about the move, and some of the comments were enlightening. A Muslim named Aboudi Berro suggested moving the festival to an area where protesters could be more easily murdered:
Much more at Answering Muslims.

We've been debating trading Shields and/or Hellickson; now this article says they would be wise to trade Price now while his value is the highest. He would get $25M a year from some team if he was on the market now.
Out of control prices once again this off season. Once Sternberg gets tired of Mayor Foster's act in St Petersburg, MLB will step in and provide him with an ultimatum. Each year gets harder and harder as the salary structure goes higher and higher.

Wants border security
To the editor:
Sold! "Business and labor," meaning lobbyists for powerful corporations and unions, have reached agreement with the "Gang of Eight" on how the federal government will reward the current law-breaking of illegal alien immigrants and corporate America, as well as how many future American jobs they will give away to foreigners.
What was supposed to be "government of, for and by the people," like all democracies, once again, is for sale to the highest bidder, whether in votes, dollars or, as usual, an unholy alliance of both.
We always hope for rational compromise accomplishing something positive for the future of all Americans, native-born and immigrant, alike, but what we usually get is deadlock, or several thousand more pages of the worst of all possible regulatory complexity, which only serves to enrich lawyers and reward the guilty.
History shows us better served by political deadlock and functioning free markets, than by markets further strangled by complex political compromises. With divided government, I usually don't worry about anything too onerous getting done against our economy or rights; however, bad immigration policy, which in any way rewards illegal behavior, could be the exception to that rule, and will only multiply our socio-politico-economic problems.
The only course worse than our current toothless laws, which Obama refuses to enforce, is the counter-productive "comprehensive" compromise the professional liars are crafting behind closed doors, in D.C.
No one has a "right" to cross our border, stay beyond their visa, or hire anyone that does.
It is not fair to all who obey our laws, waiting for years in their home countries, for the privilege to come here to earn a better living for their family, to reward those who butt into line by legalizing their rude, selfish and illegal behavior.
We can easily repair our immigration system, one small logical step at a time, without making massive mistakes that we will, once again, come to regret.
Call your senators and representatives, and say, "Stop all 'comprehensive' immigration reforms, until it is proven to voters that the feds will enforce our current laws and secure our borders."

These guilt-free summer desserts are what dreams are made of.
When the days are hot and nights are full of family gatherings, there is no reason to miss out on summer�s delicious flavors that are so often found in sweet treats. Instead of dumping spoonfuls of sugar into your mixing bowl or spending money on artificial sweeteners, try these healthy alternatives to the season�s most popular desserts. Here�s a sneak peak: avocados and coconut oil will be your new favorite ingredients. Creamy Coconut Avocado Lime Pie [caption id="attachment_120214" align="alignnone" width="493"] Clean Eating Goddess[/caption] Don�t let the lightness of key lime pie fool you. These pies are usually heavy in dairy and refined sugars. Clean Eating Goddess makes a lightened up Creamy Coconut Avocado Lime Pie. Follow Chocolate-Mint Ice Cream [caption id="attachment_120225" align="alignnone" width="493"] The Humble Plate[/caption] Before you reach for store-bought mint-chocolate chip ice cream, this much healthier Chocolate-Mint Ice Cream from The Humble Plate only takes five minutes to make. You would never guess this fudgy frozen treat is simply a mixture of hemp seeds, avocado and cocoa powder. Chocolate Mint Avocado Cups [caption id="attachment_120263" align="alignnone" width="493"] Green Road to Bliss[/caption] Green Road to Bliss� Chocolate Mint Avocado Cups make the perfect after-dinner treat. The minty ganache will cleanse your palate, and the chocolate will satisfy those sweets cravings! Banana Blueberry Almond Popsicles [caption id="attachment_120244" align="alignnone" width="493"] Sugar Et Al[/caption] Healthy popsicles are basically smoothies on a stick, and they are way more fun to eat. Sugar Et Al�s Banana Blueberry Almond Popsicles are made with almond milk, fruit and honey. Simply blend and freeze. They�re as simple as that! Pina Colada Ice Cream� [caption id="attachment_120257" align="alignnone" width="493"] Every Last Bite[/caption] Every Last Bite�s Pina Colada Ice Cream is made without cream, milk, yogurt or sugar. Frozen pineapple and coconut milk combine for a creamy texture identical to store-bought consistency. Feel free to add an extra scoop in your bowl. Peach Crumble� [caption id="attachment_120258" align="alignnone" width="493"] C It Nutritionally[/caption] Peach pies, blueberry pies, cherry pies�summer is the season of fruit pies. It can be difficult to stop after one slice though, so C It Nutritionally made a single-serve, portion-friendly Peach Crumble. Chocolate Coconut Truffle Pie [caption id="attachment_120217" align="alignnone" width="493"] My Purple Spoon�[/caption] Surprisingly, this Chocolate Coconut Truffle Pie from My Purple Spoon is only made with five ingredients. You won�t feel guilty after this decadent chocolate dessert that is nut free, gluten free, and comes with a vegan option. Striped Smoothie Popsicles [caption id="attachment_120247" align="alignnone" width="493"] The Sassy Life[/caption] It is a shame anyone buys popsicles when making your own is easy and healthy. With The Sassy Life�s Striped Smoothie Popsicles, you don�t have to worry about added sugars or sweeteners. Frozen Yogurt Blackberry Tartlettes [caption id="attachment_120231" align="alignnone" width="493"] A Spoonful of Photography[/caption] Fancy desserts do not always have to be unhealthy. A Spoonful of Photography�s Frozen Yogurt Blackberry Tartlettes are gourmet treats made from blackberries and yogurt. You can enjoy your dessert twice as much when you gain some nutritional benefits.

Warm this treat up and try topping with yogurt for a super-healthy blueberry cobbler. Raw Vegan Tiramisu [caption id="attachment_120249" align="alignnone" width="493"] Peaceful Dumpling[/caption] This Raw Vegan Tiramisu from Peaceful Dumpling has a crust made from almonds and walnuts, which provide vitamin E, omega-3s, magnesium, calcium and iron. Go ahead, grab another slice. Banana Peanut Butter Chia Seed Pudding [caption id="attachment_120220" align="alignnone" width="426"] The Suburban Soapbox[/caption] Pudding is a cool, quick dessert to grab in summertime. The Suburban Soapbox�s Banana Peanut Butter Chia Seed Pudding is high in protein and iron and does not contain the added sugar or artificial sweeteners found in packaged pudding. Apple Nachos with Peanut Butter and Chocolate [caption id="attachment_120261" align="alignnone" width="493"] Trial and Eater[/caption]For a quick dessert that won�t wreck your diet, try Apple Nachos with Peanut Butter and Chocolate from Trial and Eater. Mix up the ingredients by adding granola or almonds instead of chocolate chips. This is a healthy chocolate dish to serve for a girls' night, too. Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies [caption id="attachment_120252" align="alignnone" width="493"] Eat Real Healthy Food[/caption] Chocolate chip cookies are a summer necessity, especially when you pair them with fresh lemonade.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: The best race I have ever done! In full: James Elson and the team at Centurion Running were beyond amazing. Every aspect of this gargantuan task was executed with precision and care. The route was utterly breathtaking, the checkpoints so well manned and stocked with anything you wanted and the reception along the way from the support team was uplifting. I was so proud to become a 100 miler and I can't praise the team highly enough. I will be volunteering for future races to ensure that others get the fantastic support that I received.Well done and see you at another event soon! Date of review: July 12, 2012
In short: mud, sweat and cheers (2)In full: My second marathon of the weekend was never going to be the 3.45 that I did a couple of years back but despite the horrible weather and wallpaper paste consistency chalky mud, I still loved the race. Exceptionally well stocked checkpoints and amazing views made the race really special. I enjoyed the second half much more than the first and the last 2 miles downhill, well a 7s and a 6.10 for the last 2 of a course like this put a smile on my face.See you next year.Date of review: May 7, 2012
In short: mud, sweat and cheersIn full: The only mistake the great people at Hermes running made was to state in their entry form, trail shoes not needed! The rest of the race was fab. So much mud, much hillier than expected, wet, windy and just perfect for an XC marathon!!! Loved it!!!The fact that it was 2 laps melted away with the beautiful scenery and tranquil location. Flooding had rendered most paths accessible with a pair of skis so the downhills were especially fun, with most runners caked in mud. Exceptionally well stocked checkpoints and easy parking and a bar at the finish meant this is a must for regular marathoners, but also a great starting point for first timers.Date of review: May 7, 2012
In short: Mud Sweat and cheers!In full: Wet, horizontal rain and bonkers mud.....This is what XC marathons are about. humans vs weather! perfect. as was the fry up at the end!See you next yearDate of review: March 6, 2012
In short: A great way to see LondonIn full: I'm not sure why it was £40? The entry fee was steep but the route was ace! There were lots of ultra prepared people based on the hideously expensive kit that some were wearing. not sure how this was going to help in south London, other than getting mugged. The route was great and the weather too. I'll be going back to LDWA events for my 30 milers as they are max £5 entry. Rory was there to meet all finishers though and that was a great touchDate of review: February 19, 2012
In short: For £3 this is the bargain of the century and an amazing courseIn full: Having run the summer tanners in 2010, I knew what I was up for. If you want gels and lucozade and a t-shirt and goodie bag, stop reading and go find a race for £40.This is an LDWA jewel. Perfect scenery, nearly 3000ft of hills and self navigation for 30 miles. Perfect. What a way to start 2012 with an ultra!See ou next yearDate of review: January 15, 2012
In short: Blow away the hangover - start 2012 on a positive!In full: Well organised by Serpies and one to start the year off the right way. Very well marshalled and chip timing for this no nonsense couple of laps of Hyde Park. Free red socks for all winners!Date of review: January 1, 2012
In short: industrial and woodland lovelinessIn full: In short, an LDWA-style event. very friendly. Got lost and did 31 miles but that was my fault. should have brought my reading glasses. will be back next year!Date of review: September 18, 2011
In short: great scenery and good to meet up with friendsIn full: This is the 3rd year I have run this. Notwithstanding the hard-as-nails hills that are traversed twice, the scenery is beautiful and the route is an easy navigate. This year was a no-frills option that had reduced entry fee, nothing but water at the 3 aid stations and no medal/t-shirt. I think this was intended to attract more runners but I don't think it worked. Even some orange squash at the CPs would have been fine, but I don't think that this budget ultra worked as well as an LDWA event, which are cheaper anyway. Will come back and run this but organisationally, HHH might think about the numbers they are getting compared to some other events.Date of review: July 25, 2011
In short: 50k isa good addition to this raceIn full: Havng run the marathon last year I knew what to expect. The 50k version took in much of the marathon for the first half but a new route for the second. Flat ultras bring their own challenges and for seasoned hill runners, the relentless lack of change of pace had some of us a little fazed. Relentless forward progress was the name of the game today and in between the showers the sun came out and with the regular checkpoints festooned with bread pudding, I didn't eat much else for the journey. Great to catch up with old friends and to make new ones too. The baseball cap at the end was not the greatest idea, perhaps a t-shirt or a medalwould have been somthing more thoughtful. Having said that, a good race at a time when the calendar is not that congested. Well done marshalls.Date of review: July 17, 2011

I've got to agree with Scott, a real NY pie is minimalist, really just a smear of sauce and a very modest amount of cheese. Toppings really aren't associated with the classic NY slice, and when you start to add them the pie just isn't the same.
I think I mentioned it twice, but, hey, who's counting? Seriously, though, those are some of the thinnest slices I've ever seen. I like a thin crust, but that's a little extreme. With that kind of thickness factor, a 10+ minute bake would produce a cracker crust, especially if you felt like the dough looked a little low on the hydration spectrum.How was the taste? Did it stack up? When I eat really thin slices, I feel a little cheated, like somehow the pizzeria is too cheap to give me enough crust. I know this isn't the case, but on some level, it feels that way.A 50/50 blend will put you right in what I consider the 'sweet spot' for NY style protein levels - 12.7%. The biggest advantage is that is gives you a huge kneading window- you can underknead a bit or overknead a bit and the dough won't suffer like a 14% flour will and get tough.Happy New Year!
Scotty,Happy New Year! I didn't know you suggested Mondako and the Power flour as a combo before.
Mike,This post is where Scott mentioned using 50/50 Power Flour and Mondako Flour to me at Reply 555 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,14928.msg158138.html#msg158138 I did start mixing a preferment with combinations of Power Flour and Mondako flour on Friday for the preferment Lehmann dough to be tried on Tuesday. These are the other two posts that Scott mentioned the combinations of the Power Flour and Mondako Flour, the one post being on your thread at Reply 749 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,8093.msg157771.html#msg157771 and the other post at Reply 25 http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,15856.msg157136.html#msg157136 Norma
Mikey, maybe it's the angle of the photos, but I could have sworn that the crust looked thinner than the last few batches of photos you've taken. It's good to hear that the slices are still on par with what you've had there before.As I look at the photos again, one thing caught my eye that they are doing a bit differently.Do you see the darker area right at the end of the underrim?http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=8093.0;attach=47576;imageThat wasn't there beforehttp://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=8093.0;attach=39900;imageThat kind of pinched, darker rim area can be a result of an inexperienced hand stretcher who's pressing down on the rim aggressively, but 99% of the time, it's indicative of sheeter use. Either they've gone the sheeter route recently or, perhaps they were doing a combo sheet and hand stretch and have recently dialed the sheet thickness down to facilitate less hand stretching. Either way, I'm not ecstatic about it. Sheeters are shortcuts that no self respecting NY style pizzeria would ever go near, regardless of the volume required from them.Don't get me wrong, Avellino's still looks like an amazing slice of pizza and well worth the effort of recreating, but the extra crunchy pinched edge may not be something you want to emulate.Mike, from all your descriptions, I'm guessing that they don't show pizzas actually being stretched/made, do they?
Mike, Armando's is, unfortunately, for most New Yorkers, the 'real deal,' and this last pizza blows Armando's out of the water, so, in that sense, you've far surpassed the 'real deal.' Unless, by 'real deal,' you're talking about Avellino's. The undercrust is pretty much flawless- I don't think they can top you on that. The rim crumb looks excellent as well. The undercrust crumb, though, could be a tiny bit more moist/creamier/finer, like the pizza you did herehttp://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,8093.msg165107.html#msg165107If you take this undercrust crumb (minus the toppings, of course) and combine it with all the features of this most recent pie, I think you'll have perfection.On a separate note, based upon the superior results you're seeing with cordierite-mullite, I've made the decision to reach out to kiln shelf purveyors to see if any of them has any control over the recipes for their shelves, and, if they do, would it be possible to create a shelf with an even higher conductivity. I still love steel, but, for many people, steel is just too heavy. Most shelves are imported from China, but I'm hoping there's an outfit or two that makes their own shelves and is willing to alter their recipe to better suit the pizza community's needs.
Well, you've been away for awhile, but you stepped back up to the plate with some fine looking pizza Mike.
Mike,Great looking pizza! Good to see you back on the forum posting pictures of your pies.Norma
Thank you very much, Sir! I caved and gave in to the pizza craving. But the time off was necessary to get back in shape.
Norma,Thanks a million! I think I'll stick around for awhile

This sampler was a real treat at a great value. It leans on the high end of Medium-Full, and covers some great brands. Just so you get a sense of my preferences, some of my favorite cigars are made by Oliva (Serio 'O' and Serie 'V' Meliano) and I have really enjoyed Ave Maria, Undercrown, Joya de Nicaraua Antano 1970, and even the Graycliff 'G2' for a milder smoke. I rank the cigars in this sampler in the following order: 1) Diesel Unlimited d.X, 2) Man O' War Ruination Robusto, 3) La Herencia Cubana CORE Toro, 4) Est. 1844 Anejado No. 50-xtra (would be one step higher if I considered the price), and 5) 5 Vegas Triple-A. I will be buying more Diesel cigars and probably some from the Man O' War line, the others are very solid but I simply dont smoke enough to justify so many new purchases. I strongly recomend this sampler to new smokers or those who want to try their hand and some more full-bodied cigars. Enjoy!
Incredible mix of cigars. Hard to say which was my favorite. Diesel and 1844 were probably my 2 least favorite and they were both excellent. That's how good these cigars are. Another reviewer likened the La Herencia to smoking dirt but in a good way. Hard to imagine until you try one. Loved every minute of it. Top Vegas and Man-O-War both ridiculous. Give this a shot in the deal where you pick three 5 packs for $45.00. $3 a stick at that price.
A few OK cigars in this sampler (the 1844 and the Diesel)....
Good smokes!
These were pretty tasty, good sampler for someone who doesn't know what they like yet.
These were highly enjoyable, smoked 4 of them already.

In the midst of global economic crisis a design studio based in Moscow, Russia unveils a gadget with 15 keys that will cost around $650 when it becomes available in several months from now.
Art Lebedev, the design studio known for its Optimus-branded input devices with built-in screens, has published a picture of its new keypad called Optimus Aux (previously known as Optimus Pultius). With the picture available now, it is likely to expect the device to become available in accordance with the company's promises in very late 2008 or early 2009. Still, the price-tag of the gadget will hardly make it popular.
The Optimus Aux keypad has15 programmable keys with OLED screens inside, a major improvement over another keypad by Art Lebedev – Optimus Mini Three (which has three keys only) – and may be plugged to any computer to support either full-sized Optimus or any other keyboard. The keypad seems to be fully-functional, although this is a pre-production prototypes.
Optimus Configurator software suit will allow creating different pre-sets with special functionality for each key in various programs. Since Art Lebedev already has experience in designing appropriate configuration software, the Aux will make it considerably easier to use programmable keys, it can be expected.
While the Optimus Aux may be a useful product for many professional who need different key configurations for different programs, the $650 price-tag of the device will leave it to customers of luxurious products or hardcore gadget freaks, not those, who use those devices in their daily routine.

Cannon Beach Devises Storage for Tsunami Supplies
Two 20-foot long shipping containers have been installed on city-owned property in Cannon Beach - ready to receive the emergency supplies residents believe they will need in case of a tsunami. The forest green containers will be opened Oct. 18 for families to store their emergency stashes.
The Daily Astorian reports that about 60 people have taken the city up on its offer. City officials plan to open the large shipping containers twice a year - in the spring and fall - for people to replace items, such as food and batteries, or to add or change supplies.
The containers were placed on a location expected to be stable enough to withstand an earthquake and out of the tsunami inundation zone.

David Salle was born in Oklahoma in 1952 and grew up in Kansas. He developed an interest in art at an early age and attended life-drawing and other art classes outside normal school hours from the age of eight. After completing school he studied at the California Institute of the Arts where he received his BFA in 1973 and his MFA in 1975. Having completed his formal training, Salle relocated to New York where he developed a broad range of working methods that included relief printing on canvas.
In 1994 he worked at Tyler Graphics on the multimedia print series High and low. Featuring magazine excerpts in a collage effect, these prints recall Salle's early days in New York during which he worked in the art department of a pornography magazine. In 1995 Salle directed the film Search and destroy, produced by Martin Scorsese.The High and low prints reflect this interest in cinema, invoking ideas of montage and splicing.

Now that we've all seen Rogue One five times and deconstructed the storyline, the characters and the visual effects, it's fun to also consider how some of the iconic shots came to be.

OK, we're a stock footage company. But one of the reasons we built this is because we saw it coming. The "it" is what's actually happening now in commercial and non-commercial videos - aerial shots. And not just Helicopter shots, but drone stock shots. You can tell by the height on most shots and the "pep" of them.

AU School of Communication Welcomes Gaming Guru Lindsay Grace
This fall, game designer Lindsay Grace will join American University's School of Communication faculty as an associate professor of persuasive gaming. Grace is an internationally exhibited game artist and designer whose Critical Gameplay collection has been exhibited in Asia, Europe, North and South America. He will play a lead role in shaping a new gaming initiative developed by SOC and the College of Arts and Sciences.
SOC Dean Jeff Rutenbeck is thrilled to have Grace join the faculty. He says, "Lindsay Grace is the ideal person to lead our multi-disciplinary game development initiative here at American University. His wide range of experiences and his proven track record of developing cutting-edge applications, courses, programs, relationships and collaborations will prove to be invaluable as he leads AU to the forefront of public-purpose gaming."
Grace comes to AU from a Miami University of Ohio, where he directs the Persuasive Play Lab within the School of Creative Arts and co-directs the Games Center within the Armstrong Institute for Interactive Media. He has taught 81 courses over 9 years in game design, interactive media design, programming, web design, writing narrative scripts and graphic design. At Miami, he taught Game Design, Interaction Design, Digital Prototyping, and the Design of Play.
Grace says, "I'm exceptionally excited to lead American University to a superlative position in persuasive play and public purpose games. I can think of no other institution as well poised to deliver such an innovative program."
Professor Grace, who will be in the Film and Media Arts Division, received a BA in English and an MS in Computer Information Systems from Northwestern University. He received an MFA in Electronic Visualization at the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Art and Design.
His areas of research include human-computer interaction, creative and critical gameplay, and web design and he is an expert in computer graphics, interface development, and middle-tier programming. Professor Grace has written a number of peer-reviewed book chapters, including "Critical Gameplay: Design Techniques and Case Studies" in Designing Games for Ethics: Models, Techniques and Frameworks. He writes regularly about interactive media design and education.
In addition to his impressive record in academia, Grace has been an independent consultant, web designer, software developer, and entrepreneur. Professor Grace utilizes both theory and practice when he creates his own games. Among the software he has developed are "My Child Knows Chinese," "Mindtoggle," and Polyglot, an educational game for learning language.

An Associated Press national study on child sex abuse in public schools is the subject of this week's column by Archbishop Harry J. Flynn of St. Paul and Minneapolis in his archdiocesan newspaper, The Catholic Spirit. He notes that most public school teachers are honorable, hardworking professionals, as are the vast majority of Catholic priests, and says that the knowledge gained by the church in its abuse crisis can help other institutions in their efforts to protect children.

Religious groups vie for Internet domain names
(RNS) The Roman Catholic Church and an evangelical megachurch are among the religious groups applying for newly available Internet domain names. But as .com and .org are replaced by more specific online addresses, should names such as .Catholic and .church be under the control of religious partisans? By Daniel Burke.

Do you love me...I mean, really love me?? *UPDATED*
The research Ive put into this is exhaustive to say the least, but these are as close as I could get without someone from Lofthouse actually calling me and saying, "You are such a good person, here is the original recipe." ha.
As if, right?
Well, anywho, long story long, Ive spent more time and money than I care to admit to in developing this recipe, that ended up being pretty simple.
Who'da thunk it?
I hope you all enjoy!
~1 18 oz. white cake mix (pick one with pudding in the mix)
~2/3 cup flour (mix well into the cake mix)
~2 large eggs
~1/3 c. oil (I used soybean)
~2 T. sour cream
mix well with a handmixer or Kitchen Aid. The dough will be fairly stiff, enough to roll into 1" balls with flour dusted hands. I placed them on a Silpat type baking sheet, these are lovely to keep your cookies from getting too brown.
If you don't have a Silpat, you might want to raise your oven rack a little higher than middle of the oven if the coils are on the bottom and watch them close!
Flatten the balls with the heel of your hand to about 1/2" thick.
Bake these off at 350* for about 10-12 minutes. You will know they are done when they feel somewhat firm in the center.
Srsly, people, if you overbake, you'll lose that soft cakeyness and that would be a shame.
Here again, I will suggest you invest in a Silpat or a generic version there of.
What I have done is just take out one cookie and bake it first as a guinea pig.
You want the cookie barely set but, not gooey.
You don't want the bottoms brown, we're talking pasty here, but set.
Take them out of the oven and let them sit for a minute to let set up.
Transfer to a sheet of foil to cool completely. While they cool, start the icing.
1/2 cup Crisco (don't look at me like that)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 cup water, milk or liquid flavored coffee creamer
1 lbs. confectioner's sugar
1/2 pkg. Dream Whip
1 Tbls. meringue powder
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. vanilla
Beat Crisco and butter until smooth and blended. Dissolve salt in water and add extracts to the water. Add the meringue powder to the Dream Whip, mix well, then add to it and the confectioners sugar to the Crisco/butter mix. Carefully beat in dry ingredients then mix on medium-high until the frosting is light and fluffy.
Add some food coloring if you'd like...Im an aqua fiend.
Now, either pipe on with a pastry bag or schmear on with a spatula. At this point, you MUST use sprinkles...if you don't, the sugar cookie faeries will come and take your cookies away, because you don't deserve them.
Store the cookies in a tupperware type container right after the icing has set.
The cookies will get that dense, cakey texture after being stored in the air tight container overnight or for a few hours.

These look so delicious! I've been trying to find a recipe for ages for these cookies so thank you for all of your recipe experimentation. I can't wait to make them!

I've made (and blogged about) Lofthouse cookies on more than two occasions, but I had to search high and low for a recipe that didn't require cake mix. However, for those who don't like to mix together the dry ingredients themselves, this quicker version sure is the way to go! Your cookies look fantastic.

bah, I accidentally removed my own comment LOL
thanks all, so much!
Memoria, thank you =)
Ive tried that recipe (the one on your blog and others, allrecipes, too I believe) but, it just didn't do it for me.
I aspire to a scratch copycat, but until I do...these will have to suffice! lol

My kids absolutely adore those cookies! Well, ok--I've been known to call dibs on a few, as well. Will have to give these a try!

What is the expected yield of one batch?
Thank you for this recipe! I've been waiting a long time to make these (had to get the Silpat!) and I know they'll turn out great. :)
- July 30, 2012 at 10:51 AM
- Noshings said...
Hello Shannon, thanks for stopping by! If I remember correctly, one batch yields about 20, depending on how large you make them. The icing recipe is probably enough for at least a batch and a half.
Don't forget the sprinkles!

UN Agenda 21 -Rio Accord - Global Biodiversity Assessment
If you were to hear that in the very near future the United States will have no privately owned property, no air conditioning, no dams, no paved roads, no way to correct rivers for flood control, no golf courses, no pastureland used for grazing, would you believe it? These are all mandates of a United Nations program called Agenda 21 which was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. All delegates watched as four men, holding poles attached to an "Ark of Hope" which contained this Agenda 21 document! Within its pages are a substantial attack on the American Declaration of Independence and our Constitution. The primary target for the changes proposed in 1992 is the United States of America.
What is Agenda 21? Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations system, governments and major groups in every area in which humans impact on the environment. The Agenda is an all-encompassing prescription for regulating every aspect of human activity in the interest of "sustainable development". The plan calls for governments to take control of all land, and leave no decision-making in the hands of private property owners. This is for the stated purpose of "social justice." U.N. Agenda 21 cites the affluence of Americans as being a major problem which needs to be corrected. It calls for lowering the standard of living for Americans so that the people in poorer countries will have more, a redistribution of wealth. This is not a left/right Dem/GOP issue; it is a liberty vs. tyranny issue. Heather Gass of East Bay Tea Party and Rosa Koire, author and property rights activist with the Post Sustainability Institute explain it well in this video.
What is Unsustainable? Everything.
Key topics impacted by UN Agenda 21 - Sustainable Development
- Climate
- Water
- Smart Meters
- Renewable
Human Habitat
- Walkability
- Mixed Use "Smart Growth"

Today's clue for the Medallion Hunt
The President's Day Weekend Winter Festival Annual Medallion Treasure Hunt, sponsored by The Maple Inn at Chautauqua Institution, is under way.
The 3×5-inch Treasure Hunt Medallion has been hidden somewhere in Chautauqua County on public property. Placed in plastic for its protection from the elements, the Medallion bearing the I.C.E. logo is not hidden below ground level and no higher than 6 feet above ground level. It is not hidden on any body of water or in the water. Treasure hunters seek at their own risk.
Today's clue is as follows:
If you are holding a map and it is pointing northward
Turn it around then you can move forward
Heading toward the bottom of the lake will be nice
But don't worry you won't be out on the ice.
Fred Croscut to appear on Senior Report
Senior Report with Reed Powers will have Fred Cros-cut as the guest on Satur-day's television program. Croscut is a legislator for Chautauqua County. The live, call-in program airs from 9 to 10 a.m. Saturdays. Individuals may call 753-5225 during that time with questions, comments or a shout-out. The program is rebroadcast daily at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. for some communities.
The series highlights senior citizen club news for 15 minutes with the remainder of the hour-long program devoted to the featured guest.
Senior Report is shown live Saturday mornings on Time Warner cable systems for the following communities: Brocton, Cassadaga, Chautauqua, Fredonia, Mayville, North Harmony, Portland, Ripley, Sherman, Stockton and Westfield on Channel 5. In Dunkirk, Falconer, Forestville, Han-over, Irving, Jamestown, Lakewood and Silver Creek the program is on channel 19. The show originates at the Access Channel 5 studio in Mayville.
Dunkirk Fire Dept. monthly report
The Dunkirk Fire Department reports going on 153 runs in January. Of that number, 120 were EMS calls with 55 of those resulting in transports to Brooks Memorial Hospital. There were 21 still alarms, eight box alarms and four mutual aid calls answered by the department, according to figures from Fire Chief Keith Ahlstrom.

Is this a good pet for you?
The Mustela putorius furo, more commonly known as the ferret, has been a domesticated animal for hundreds of years. In the early 1900s, New London, Ohio, was actually nicknamed Ferretville because it was home to several ferret breeders. Ferrets live or have lived in approximately 300,000 U.S. households.
Basic ferret facts. The average ferret spans between 18 and 24 inches, including tail length, and weighs between 1.5 and 6 pounds. The males tend to be longer and heavier than females. At birth, a baby ferret, called a kit, is deaf and essentially blind, as its eyes will not open until about 30 days have passed. It will also gain its hearing at this time. The newborns are white; ferrets don't obtain their adult color until they're about 21 days old. The ferret is sexually mature around 5 months old. Its life span is approximately five to eight years.
Pros. The ferret is a spirited animal that enjoys playing with its humans. However, it can be mischievous, which stems from its curious nature. Ferrets make good apartment or small living space pets, as they do not require a lot of room, just an appropriate size cage for sleeping and resting. They do require several hours a day outside their cage. They will enjoy their free time outside their cage, and some can be taught to use a litter box when not in the cage. Ferrets are quiet. The only sounds they generally make are slight squeaks and the equivalent of a chuckle, a sound called a dook.
Cons. Ferrets require significant attention. They crave interaction, and if an owner is not willing or able to provide this, the ferret will not thrive. Like dogs and cats, ferrets are prone to ear mites, but you can help prevent this by cleaning their ears routinely. In addition, a ferret does shed its coat in both summer and winter. This shedding is called "blowing a coat" and is not a medical condition, although the ferret will look scraggly until the new coat has grown in. Ferrets, like kittens, puppies and small children, are prone to eating random bits of nonedible items that may be found on the floor or tabletops. When the ferret is out of its cage, supervision must be provided for safety.
Before deciding if a ferret is a good pet for you, carefully consider the pros and cons. Consult a trusted veterinarian and visit a shelter that specializes in ferrets. Consider contacting an organization like the Ferret Association of Connecticut Inc., a nonprofit organization that can help provide answers to many questions prospective ferret owners may have.

Heights Initiative
The Heights Initiative is an exciting way to volunteer in the Washington Heights Community. Through a plethora of student-run venues and opportunities, students can make a critical impact on the local community.
Business Initiative
Want to use your business skills to help your community? If so, the Business Initiative, directed by Professor Michael Strauss, works with the Audubon Partnership to help local merchants improve their businesses and increase revenue. Our interns, both men and women, have worked in the past as interns in a beauty parlor, restaurant, and book store. Our work includes creating websites, developing databases, and marketing. Any student interested in assisting local small businesses with their marketing, IT, accounting, and related needs should contact Professor Strauss at firstname.lastname@example.com.
YU Bridgers
The YU Bridgers presents a unique opportunity to be active in your community. Students will run across the GW Bridge periodically, with the goal being to engage in a productive and eco-friendly activity of cleaning the bridge. Any garbage will be picked up and areas that require maintenance will be notified to the appropriate authorities.
Literacy Program
The YU Literacy Program coordinates the tutoring of more than 80 Yeshiva University students in P.S 132, P.S. 143, and WHEELS. Our tutors work one-on-one with students to help them succeed academically. Tutors commit to tutoring as little as 50 minutes per week in a subject of their preference (English, math, science, or social studies). Together with the President's Circle Tutoring Program (see below), the YU Literacy Program has been able to impact the Washington Heights community in a meaningful way.
President's Circle Tutoring Program
The President's Circle Tutoring Program works closely with an after-school program run by the Young Adult Borough Centers (YABC) in the GW High School (193rd and Audubon). The after-school program provides classes and advising for students striving to graduate high school and begin college. The students range in age from 17 to 22. Our program provides weekly one-on-one tutoring sessions in biology, chemistry, history, and English to aid in-class work, Regents and the SATs. Furthermore, our tutors have formed lasting relationships with the students of YABC.
College Edge
College EDge is a Yeshiva University student-run organization founded to inform and educate underrepresented public high school students about college. We help students get the edge they need on their college education, both by exciting them about the prospect of attending college, and helping them achieve that goal. Students learn how to properly prepare themselves for college during high school, what their best college options are, and how to gain admission to those schools. Mindful that some students prefer trade school to college, we also strive to assist students in their choice of a career path by providing information, resources, and networking opportunities. Visit www.collegeedge.us for more information.
FUTURE, a program started by the University of Michigan IDEA Institute, aims to involve students in augmenting science education for local high school students. The YU ACS Chemistry Club will be going to Gregorio Luperon High School to implement this initiative. Our students will work with their teachers to develop scientific modules for the students on topics directly connected to their curriculum. The level of interaction is flexible and can range from visits to the classroom to organizing exciting field trips. Subjects are Chemistry, Physics, Biology and Math.
Project START (Students, Teachers, and Researchers Teach) Science! is a new initiative in which students from Yeshiva University, accompanied by professors from YU, design and implement scientific curricular modules in a local public school. The pilot program, starting in Spring 2011, consists of 8 courses in the disciplines of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Engineering, and will be taught at P.S. 366 to the fifth grade class. This is an excellent opportunity to put into practice the theory learned in class while simultaneously helping the Washington Heights community. START is run by the YU ACS Chemistry Club.
The goal of this project is to run bone marrow drives targeting the Hispanic community's eligible donors. Currently, if a Hispanic patient is in need of a bone marrow transplant, the chance of finding a match is barely over 10%. We hope to increase this percentage by raising awareness in the local Hispanic population and by initiating annual drives. We are looking for students to help in advertising, planning, and running the drives. This is a great opportunity to get involved in the community and for students pursuing a career in medicine or global health.
Heights Health Initiative
The Heights Health Initiative is a new program coordinated by Yeshiva University students in association with the ACDP (The Community Association of Progressive Dominicans). The program involves two after-school programs at three local elementary schools in Washington Heights. Volunteers can help coordinate an after-school basketball league or help facilitate an after-school running program in partnership with the New York Runners "Might Miles Program." The aim of the Heights Health Initiative is to encourage healthy lifestyle choices and team-work in a safe and fun environment.

Ice Palace construction pushed back to next week
Interstate 781 at Fort Drum now open
Interstate 781, also known as the "Fort Drum Connector," is now open and will make the connection between U.S. Route 11 and Interstate 81 in the vicinity of Watertown a bit faster and safer.
This approximately 4.8-mile highway connects with Route 11 near the main (north) gate to Fort Drum with I-81 at a new interchange, designated "exit 48A," about three-fourths of a mile north of exit 48, which is state Route 342.
For upstate New York motorists traveling south of Watertown, this new 65 mph interstate highway will enable drivers to avoid Route 11 between the main entrance to Fort Drum and Route 342 where there are many commercial establishments, including Walmart, and at least four traffic signals. Likewise, busy Route 342 connecting Route 11 to I-81, passing by Longways Truck Stop and an intersection with state Route 37, can also be avoided.
As part of the $57 million project, the largest in recent years in state Department of Transportation Region 7, several large overhead sign structures were installed along Routes I-81, I-781, and U.S. Route 11. The project also includes the following Intelligent Transportation System features: five permanent electronic variable message signs and three traffic monitoring cameras tied into the Syracuse-area Traffic Management Center, and one Roadway Weather Information System tied into the state DOT Jefferson County Residency. DOT's Region 7 is the largest in the State, covering 8,634 square miles in five counties (Lewis, Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Franklin and Clinton).
The Connector goes over I-81, state Route 37 and U.S. Route 11. Gould's Corners Road crosses over the Connector. The project included the construction of full interchanges at I-81 and U.S. Route 11 with the Route 11 interchange being a Single Point Urban Interchange. A SPUI is an innovative design that provides a safe and efficient way to move high volumes of traffic through highway interchanges. (The state's first is on Route 7 in Latham.) The SPUI bridge retaining walls received aesthetic treatments and provide a gateway for Jefferson County and Fort Drum.
Fort Drum is the largest military installation in New York State in terms of size, number of personnel and contribution to the economy. It is home to the 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry) and 18,000 active duty soldiers. It is also the largest employer in Northern New York. The 10th Mountain is the most deployed Division in the U.S. Army. The estimated annual economic impact due to Fort Drum now exceeds $1 billion.
