Expiration Date:?Jun 2018Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?1.36 lbs (0.62 kg)Shipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Topic: radio_button_tag and observe_field question
I have 2 radio buttons, and I want them to toggle the display between current year and all year. I have successfully used observe_fields for selection pulldowns, and use AJAX to update information as necessary. However, I'm having some trouble with the radio buttons and the observe_field tag.
<%= radio_button_tag :radio, :current_year, :checked => true %>Current Year /
<%= radio_button_tag :radio, :all_years %>All Years
%= observe_field "radio[current_year]", :url => { :action => 'current_year' }, :with => "radio[current_year]" %>
Do I need an observe_field for the "all_years" button as well? Because when I select one, the other one automatically de-selects. If anyone knows, or could help me out, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Cute and Casual
A great medium length hairstyle for those who like to switch it up from their conventional longer hairstyles yet still remaining very feminine and cute. Parted at the center with the fringes different lengths at the back this style really gives acute allure and works so well on women who like to keep it simple, casual and cute. Another great element about this hairstyle is the way it's a little flatter at the top with more volume at the base really giving it an older retro vibe.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
Turtleweed (Chlorodesmis fastigiata) is a common and widespread soft, upright filamentous green macroalga ("seaweed") in the tropical Indo-Pacific and waters off eastern Australia, including the Great Barrier Reef (Huisman 2000). Turtleweed occurs both inshore and on coral reefs farther offshore (Schaffelke 1999). It grows as thick tufts or patches, often surrounded by live coral tissue. Although common, these algae are rarely if ever abundant or extensive, with patches rarely growing larger than 20 to 30 cm in diameter. Despite being highly conspicuous, Turtleweed patches are able to persist even in areas with relatively high levels of herbivory, probably because the filaments contain high levels of a secondary metabolite with herbivore-deterrent properties. (Jamaluddin and McCook 2003)
Turtleweed has been a focus of several studies in recent years examining the potential impacts of macroalgae on coral reefs. In recent decades, some reefs that were formerly dominated by coral are now dominated by macroalgae. There has been significant concern that interactions with some species of macroalgae may suppress the recovery of some coral species following disturbance or damage. Rashera et al. (2011) found that numerous species of macroalgae directly damage corals by transferring competitor-suppressing hydrophobic allelochemicals present on algal surfaces. These hydrophobic compounds, which include two acetylated diterpenes from Turtleweed, cause coral bleaching, decreased photosynthesis, and even coral death. Some studies have found negative impacts on corals by Turtleweed and some other algae even without physical contact. Birrell et al. (2008) found that the presence of nearby Turtleweed delayed the settlement of larvae of the coral Acropora millepora, apparently via some sort of waterborne effects.
Bender et al. (2012) found that Turtleweed significantly reduced tissue recovery in one coral species studied, Acropora pulchra, but not in the related A. aspera. The presence of Turtleweed led to the infection of A. pulchra with ciliates, possibly due to an algal-driven impairment of the coral's immune systems.
Mantyka and Bellwood (2007) studied the impacts of grazing herbivorous fishes on a dozen species of macroalgae on the Great Barrier reef. Turtleweed was one of two algal species that were strikingly less impacted by grazing than the other ten algae studied. In studies examining the feeding-deterrent effects of algal extracts and isolated metabolites, the extracts of Turtleweed and the isolated metabolite chlorodesmin were significant feeding deterrents to mixed-species populations of herblvorous fishes (Paul et al. 1990 and references therein). Interestingly, chlorodesmin deterred adult but not juvenile rabbitfish(Siganus argenteus) (Paul et al. 1990).
Dixson and Hay (2012) documented a remarkable mutualistic relationship between a coral, Acropora nasuta, and two goby fishes, Gobidon histrio and Paragobidon enchinocephalus, recruited by the coral to keep it free of Turtleweed. Within minutes of Turtleweed (or even a chemical extract from the Turtleweed) contacting the coral, the coral releases an odor that recruits gobies to trim the Turtleweed and dramatically reduce coral damage that would otherwise occur. Interestingly, only one of the two goby species, G. histrio, actually consumes the Turtleweed it removes. This goby normally produces toxic skin secretions that repel predators and contact with the Turtleweed appears to increase their toxicity.
Franklin and Lasrkum (1997) investigated the adaptations of Turtleweed for the high-light conditions at the tops of coral reefs.

Advanced Technology Investment Company (ATIC) plans to spend $2 to $3 billion to expand production capacities of Globalfoundries this year and also boost its stake in the contract maker of semiconductors. Eventually it would completely buy Advanced Micro Devices' stake in Globalfoundries.
"ATIC's stake now is 68%. It will go up to 70% in two to three months. The intent is to make sure that Global Foundries is well capitalised and AMD is a buyable player," said Ibrahim Ajami, chief executive of ATIC, in an interview with Reuters news-agency. Mr. Ajami added that that ATIC would acquire the remaining stake in Globalfoundries in the period of two to three years.
Sunnyvale, California-based Globalfoundries has manufacturing operations in Germany, Singapore and a planned facility in New York, which will cost nearly $5 billion.
The Dresden, Germany, plant's capacity is 30 000 300mm wafers per month, and seen rising to 60 000 wafers a month by 2012.
"We will be doubling capacity in 24 months, spending $2-3 billion for expansion. We will continue to focus on our growth strategy in the next two to three years to position ourselves in the marketplace," added Mr. Ajami.
ATIC, which acquired Chartered Semiconductor late in 2009 may continue to invest into other semi manufacturers going further so to keep growing.
"As an investment company, acquisitions are always in the pipeline but I am not interested in buying foundries and consolidating further and facing challenges of business integration. We have ambitious targets, we are new and we are investing, so we will grow faster," said the head of Advanced Technology Investment Company.

You can hear a more drastic difference with their earlier albums (Please Please Me and With the Beatles) between mono vs stereo.
The only later remastered album I have is Abbey Road. I can tell a slight difference, but not so much really.
So far, I have Please Please Me, With the Beatles, A Hard Day's Night, Beatles for Sale (haven't opened yet), Abbey Road, and Past Masters.
Target is running a good deal -- $13.99 per (exception being Past Masters and White Album, being $18.99), but when you buy two, they give you a $5 gift card. Works for me.

Extended maintenance of Ruby versions 1.8.7 and 1.9.2 ended on July 31, 2014. Read more
Symbol objects represent names and some strings inside the
Ruby interpreter. They are generated using the
:name and
:"string" literals syntax, and by the various
to_sym methods. The same
Symbol object will be
created for a given name or string for the duration of a program's
execution, regardless of the context or meaning of that name. Thus if
Fred is a constant in one context, a method in another, and a
class in a third, the
:Fred will be the
same object in all three contexts.
module One class Fred end $f1 = :Fred end module Two Fred = 1 $f2 = :Fred end def Fred() end $f3 = :Fred $f1.id #=> 2514190 $f2.id #=> 2514190 $f3.id #=> 2514190
Returns an array of all the symbols currently in Ruby's symbol table.
Symbol.all_symbols.size #=> 903 Symbol.all_symbols[1,20] #=> [:floor, :ARGV, :Binding, :symlink, :chown, :EOFError, :$;, :String, :LOCK_SH, :"setuid?", :$<, :default_proc, :compact, :extend, :Tms, :getwd, :$=, :ThreadGroup, :wait2, :$>]
VALUE rb_sym_all_symbols() { VALUE ary = rb_ary_new2(sym_tbl->num_entries); st_foreach(sym_tbl, symbols_i, ary); return ary; }
Equality—At the
Object level,
== returns
true only if obj and other are the same
object. Typically, this method is overridden in descendent classes to
provide class-specific meaning.
==, the
equal? method should never be
overridden by subclasses: it is used to determine object identity (that is,
a.equal?(b) iff
a is the same object as
eql? method returns
true if obj and
anObject have the same value. Used by
Hash to test
members for equality. For objects of class
eql? is synonymous with
==. Subclasses normally
continue this tradition, but there are exceptions.
types, for example, perform type conversion across
==, but not
eql?, so:
1 == 1.0 #=> true 1.eql? 1.0 #=> false
static VALUE rb_obj_equal(obj1, obj2) VALUE obj1, obj2; { if (obj1 == obj2) return Qtrue; return Qfalse; }
Returns the name or string corresponding to sym.
:fred.id2name #=> "fred"
static VALUE sym_to_s(sym) VALUE sym; { return rb_str_new2(rb_id2name(SYM2ID(sym))); }
Returns the representation of sym as a symbol literal.
:fred.inspect #=> ":fred"
static VALUE sym_inspect(sym) VALUE sym; { VALUE str; const char *name; ID id = SYM2ID(sym); name = rb_id2name(id); str = rb_str_new(0, strlen(name)+1); RSTRING(str)->ptr[0] = ':'; strcpy(RSTRING(str)->ptr+1, name); if (!rb_symname_p(name)) { str = rb_str_dump(str); strncpy(RSTRING(str)->ptr, ":\"", 2); } return str; }
Returns an integer that is unique for each symbol within a particular execution of a program.
:fred.to_i #=> 9809 "fred".to_sym.to_i #=> 9809

Government Orders
1:50 p.m.
Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, for seven straight years the government has used the excuse of the deficit for breaking practically every single promise that it made in two election campaigns that might have positively impacted on the suffering of women.
The hon. member should not talk to me about fiscal responsibility. The reality is that the jig is up. The government can no longer use the excuse of the deficit for continuing to turn its back on home care, on child care and on pharmacare, on the things that would really make a difference in the lives of women.
Yes, that member is correct. When it comes down to what we would do with the surplus, we would make no apology for the fact that we would overwhelmingly spend that surplus to deal with poverty, with violence, with homelessness and with the hunger of children.
If members opposite want a debate over whether the emphasis should be on driving more people to food banks, which is what Liberal policies are doing, or giving yet another freebie to the bankers, we will fight every time to give women and children what they need so they are not forced to depend upon food banks. Let us have a debate.
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Pat Martin Winnipeg Centre, MB
Mr. Speaker, after listening to the speech by the hon. Secretary of State for the Status of Women, I could not help but notice how full it was of incredible contradictions.
The hon. secretary of state was saying that to eradicate poverty among women we would have to somehow reduce the capital gains tax for the wealthy; that to eliminate poverty among women we would have to give bankers another tax break; that to eliminate poverty among women we would have to change the EI system in a structure where still only 30% of unemployed women will qualify for EI.
I wonder if the hon. leader of the New Democratic Party could clarify some of the inherent contradictions in the attitudes held by the hon. secretary of state.
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
Alexa McDonough Halifax, NS
Mr. Speaker, I can try to clarify but I sure will not make excuses for the Liberals. What is so astounding about this is that they do know better. They know that when a federal government eliminates its commitments to social housing it is bound to increase the number of homeless people and the number of people living in substandard housing.
The Liberals do understand that if they provide no leadership on child care they will have more and more families at risk and more and more children who do not have the benefit of affordable quality child care.
What makes this so pathetic is when one of those members stands up, as he just did, and says "Why are you not congratulating us for our head start program?" I have worked with the head start movement for 33 years. What the government knows is that the vast majority of Canadian children are being robbed of getting the kind of head start in life they need because the government has completely abandoned its commitments to universal affordable child care.
Government Orders
1:55 p.m.
The Speaker
Since it is almost 2 p.m., we will now move on to Statements by Members.
Jim Stone
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Paul Devillers Simcoe North, ON
Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity to extend my congratulations to Mr. Jim Stone, a constituent in my riding of Simcoe North, who recently donated his time and talent overseas in the service of the Canadian Executive Services Organization.
CESO is a non-profit, volunteer based organization which brings Canadian expertise to businesses, communities and organizations in Canada and abroad. Mr. Jim Stone volunteered in Lima, Peru where he used his expertise to advise on the management of the paper and textile industry. He also provided technical assistance and made recommendations on production quality and cost.
On behalf of all Canadians, I wish to congratulate Mr. Stone and the many highly skilled Canadian volunteers. It is because of the efforts of people like Mr. Stone that Canada enjoys a strong international reputation.
The Liberal Party Of Canada
Statements By Members
1:55 p.m.
Deborah Grey Edmonton North, AB
Mr. Speaker, evidently the Prime Minister had to scour the countryside to find new cabinet material.
Is there no one over there whom he already trusts? Or maybe they are already so divided that he cannot build a cabinet out of wood, hay and stubble.
What about this one, Brian Tobin? Mr. Speaker, you know him. He is the guy who promised to serve a full term as the premier of Newfoundland. He said "I intend to put in a full day every day for the full term that I have been given". That was in the Montreal Gazette on February 10, 1999. What a short term it has been. It is another example I guess of how promises by Liberals at election time mean diddly-squat.
After 93's flip and 97's flop, Canadians will reject the Liberal government campaign of negativity and attacks in the year 2000. We will have no part of it. One strike, two strikes, three strikes, well, the government may be out. It is a new game and a new day in Canada.
The Environment
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Réginald Bélair Timmins—James Bay, ON
Mr. Speaker, I was very disappointed and outraged that the city of Toronto has approved a contract that would allow tonnes of Toronto's waste to be shipped to Kirkland Lake. The situation demonstrates a total lack of respect for the residents of the Timiskaming area and by extension the whole population of northern Ontario.
Will this decision create a precedent for similar projects in other larger centres in southern Ontario? Will the mine sites in the city of Timmins be targeted next?
How could the proponents ignore the reports completed many years ago warning of deep cracks in the bedrock of the Adams mine site? How could they ignore the pleas of thousands of protesters who only want to protect their environment, their health and their quality of life?
There is no reason to use the citizens of northern Ontario as guinea pigs for the disposal of their waste. The problem was created in Toronto and should remain in Toronto.
Statements By Members
October 16th, 2000 / 2 p.m.
Roy Cullen Etobicoke North, ON
Mr. Speaker, I rise today on an issue of great concern to many citizens around the world.
On May 19, 2000 an anti-government demonstration was held by civilian rebels in Suva, the capital of Fiji. At that time, Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry and members of his government were taken hostage and a military government was established.
Following the release of the hostages and the toppling of the military government, Fiji fell into a period of anarchy in which an interim civilian government was undemocratically established. The interim government has announced that it will not hold elections for three years. It plans to rewrite the constitution of Fiji within one year in order to place further restrictions on the basis of racial origin.
I rise today to ask members of the House to support the commonwealth ministers' action group in its desire for free elections in Fiji as soon as possible and to ensure that a new constitution is written, free of restrictions on the basis of racial origin.
World March Of Women
Statements By Members

Marlene Jennings Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am extremely pleased to rise in the House and announce that the World March of Women was a knockout success here in Canada.
Some 30,000 women, men and children took part in the march held on October 14 in Montreal, and approximately 20,000 people gathered here on Parliament Hill yesterday, October 15.
In addition, representatives of the Canadian Women's March Committee met yesterday with the Prime Minister for approximately three quarters of an hour. The Prime Minister reaffirmed our government's commitment in the fight to end poverty and violence against women.
I would point to the $30.7 million set aside by the government to eliminate domestic violence and the $20.5 million reinvested in the status of women.
Young Offenders Act
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Werner Schmidt Kelowna, BC
Mr. Speaker, it is a picture I cannot look at, this photograph of an 89 year old Kelowna woman who was beaten savagely. Around each bewildered blue eye the bruises are red and painful. Her face is swollen and discoloured. She has suffered terribly. Her assailant was a 17 year old. It is disturbing.
It is disturbing to learn that this offender will not be tried in adult court as befits his crime but in youth court where the sentence will be much less severe.
Because of that there is no healing. The bruises are gone but not the fear, a fear that has spread and has robbed the people of my community of a sense of safety. Surely the justice minister can see that the Young Offenders Act is not an effective deterrent against youth violence but a weapon being used against our society.
Violence Against Women
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Sue Barnes London West, ON
Mr. Speaker, violence can take on many forms. It can be physical, psychological and sexual. Although violence can affect everyone, violence against women, particularly physical violence against women, is a predominant reality. The UN estimates that around the world one-quarter of the female population is severely abused at home. Battery is the world's leading cause of injury among women aged 15 to 44.
A report about violence against women, a focus on women, from the UN in 1995, reports that because of custom two million girls experience genital mutilation every year. That works out to five young girls every minute.
In Canada in 1997, 88% of all spousal violence victims reported were women and 65% of those women reported more than two instances.
The World March of Women brings attention to an important area of concern for all members of society, of all genders. Women and men have to work together to get at these causes and get the solutions on the table.

Stéphane Bergeron Verchères, QC
Mr. Speaker, I took part in last week's World March of Women.
My reason for doing so was quite simply that I think that we should all take an interest in this global event to fight against poverty and violence.
If we had watched women march with complete indifference and without feeling that we were in any way concerned, this extraordinary demonstration of solidarity would have been in vain.
I have a three and a half year old daughter and I hope that she will be able to grow up in a society where there will truly be equality of opportunity, in a society where she will never have to worry that she might end up living in poverty or suffer physical or psychological violence.
I would like her to be able to grow up in a sovereign Quebec, a Quebec that wants to change things, that will be allowed to build not just a prosperous society, but a society where I hope racism, sexism and violence will have no place.

Jean Augustine Etobicoke—Lakeshore, ON
Mr. Speaker, delegations from over 5,000 international women's groups from 157 countries will participate in the World March of Women in front of the United Nations building in New York. There, 200 of these women hope to meet with the heads of the security council, UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and many of the other delegations.
The World March of Women was launched on March 8 of this year. Postcards were sent to various offices. We know that women rallied in Brussels. Canadian women came to Parliament Hill and went to other major cities across Canada, while the main focus, a rally in Washington D.C., took place over the weekend.
I rise to ask all hon. members to take the time to look at the platform, to look at the issues that these women have brought before us and to give consideration to the women—

World Food Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Howard Hilstrom Selkirk—Interlake, MB
Mr. Speaker, today is World Food Day. It is the day that Canadians are asked to focus on the goal of delivering adequate food to everyone in the world.
The United Nations has defined food security as existing when "all people, at all times, have safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs for an active and healthy life".
We have enough food in the world today to meet this goal. Tragically, because of war and political interference, millions of people are suffering from malnutrition. More must be done to get the food to the people who need it.
I need to end my statement by highlighting the difficult times facing our food suppliers, our Canadian farm families. Farm families all across this country are being forced into bankruptcy by international interference in the market.
Their plight is being made worse today by the inept Liberal agriculture policies. Farmers are in an impossible squeeze. At the same time that the price they receive for their commodities is being forced down, their cost of production is being forced through the roof.
I call on the government to act today, on World Food Day, on food safety and also to support our farmers who are part of the solution to feeing the world's hungry.

Food Habits
Blue tongues are omnivores and eat a great melange of plants and animals. Since these large skinks are not particularly agile, they eat mostly slow-moving animals such as snails and beetles. Their strong jaws are fashioned to crush the shells of their prey. They have a strong liking for strawberries. In captivity, they are given a diet of catfood and soft fruits such as bananas and kiwifruit. (Cogger 2000)

5 Halloween Myths That Cost Everyone Money
If you want to repeat "Bloody Mary" into a mirror 13 times to see if a ghost appears, go ahead. Want to say the word "Candyman" five times into that same mirror and see if Tony Todd or Chicago's Cabrini-Green housing projects reappear? Knock yourself out. Want to wake up Michael Keaton by chanting "Beetlejuice" three times? It's your holiday and you can annoy people with repetition all you'd like.
You'll find, as with just about every Halloween myth, that repeating something doesn't in any way make it so.
Right now, Halloween doesn't really need any more scary rumors or bad press. The National Retail Federation, which represents the nation's retailer, found that 158 million consumers say they plan to celebrate Halloween this year. That's down from 170 million last year and is indicative of just how tight-fisted consumers have become in the current economy. In total, Halloween shopper plan to spend about $75 each on Halloween, down from an average of nearly $80 per shopper in 2012.
Though that NRF Halloween spending estimate is still 54.7% higher than in 2005, a quarter of U.S. consumers (25.2%) say the state of the economy will affect their Halloween spending plans. Nearly nine in 10 (86.1%) will spend less overall, up slightly from 83.5% last year. Additionally, 32.7% will buy less candy and 18.1% will make a costume instead of buying one. That already bodes poorly for retailers from Wal-Mart
At a time the balance of Halloween spending is shifting toward adults -- with the $1.2 billion U.S. consumers plan to spend on adult costumes overshadowing the $1 billion they'll spend on kids' outfits -- there is still a whole lot of spending to be done. The NRF anticipates that spooked shoppers will still spend upward of $6 billion this Halloween.
They just don't need to spend a whole lot more than that, nor do retailers need them completely spooked off. We looked at some of the more potent Halloween myths out there and found five that are costly to shoppers and stores alike:

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - A beautiful new course at UNF's Jacksonville campus certainly lived up to its billing; it was truly 110% cross country. Starting and finishing at the UNF golf center, three quarters of the 3.1 mile course wound its way along shaded, tree-lined trails that gave no hint of proximity to the campus just beyond the tree line. As if the Stetson harriers weren't already excited enough about their first official meet of the season, the pre-race warm up in this wooded wonderland motivated them still further. But starting line smiles soon turned to serious looks of determination and Stetson's 10 men and 14 women got down to business.
Freshman Amanda Spring, as she did in the previous week's time trial—and every practice in between—took command as team leader right from the start. Despite the many twists and turns of the terrain, she ran a blistering pace and emerged from the woods as the first Stetson runner; she finished a fantastic fifth overall. Although less focused on time than place, she barely missed breaking 19 minutes (19:07).
"I didn't really have a time goal, because it was my first collegiate race," Spring said. "I only wanted to beat my former competition from Osceola High School, Alexis Irwin, who is competing for UNF.
"At first I didn't see her," Spring continued. "We went into the woods, and it was very crowded, and while focusing on the uneven terrain, I had two things in mind: (1) I didn't want to fall behind her; and (2) I didn't want to fall off my pace."
Spring managed to meet her goal, finishing well ahead of Irwin (seventh in 19:28), despite it being the latter's home course.
"It's the first time I've run on a golf course, and the trail through the woods wasn't wood chips, Spring continued. "I loved it."
Following Spring was sophomore Adrienne DeVita (19:53), senior captain Sabrina Guzsvany (20:18), Trixi Menge (20:20), and freshman Daniella Moreno.
Also running for Stetson were Valerie Hiller (20:52), Jessica Cosgrove (20:54.3, a PR), Shelby Block (20:54.9, also a PR), Emily Nolen (21:07), Nicole Garrabrant (22:07), Clarissa Consol (22:17), Emmie Wenzell (22:35), Christine Iseley (23:11), and Susan Scaggs (25:21). Eleven of the fourteen ran faster times than their pre-season time trial the week before.
The Stetson Men were led by senior captain Andrew Epifanio (16:29, a PR), freshman Joe Beery (16:44, a PR), Andrew Townes (17:51), Cody Malloy (18:22), and Jeremy Butler (18:36). Top five score in cross country, with the lowest score (based upon finish places) winning. Thus, Stetson fell to the powerful host Ospreys 15-54, but outran A-Sun team Kennesaw State (89) and Edward Waters College (incomplete team).
"I felt like I had a good race," Epifanio said afterwards, "running under control the whole time. It was probably my best first race of the season."
Joe Beery, too, was encouraged. "It was a good race," he said. "There were lots of roots in the woods"—and, he added, laughing—"I tripped over a few of them. But it was shaded and a really pretty course."
Rounding out the Stetson men's team was Kyle Meerdo (18:50), Ryan Hodgins (18:54), Austyn Finnk (19:56), James Welch III (20:10), and Matthew Ady (20:45, his Stetson XC PR). All 10 of the men finished with better times than the week before.
"We saw a lot of improvement from last week," Epifanio said. "We saw a few PRs, which is a good sign for the beginning of the season. Joe Beery did very well, especially for this time of year. He ran a substantial PR. Austyn also did very well, and Matthew Ady also had a great start to the season, with another PR. We're hoping to continue to improve."
Next Friday evening, August 6th (5:00 p.m.), the Stetson cross country team dives into the deep end of the pool at the University of South Florida's course, "The Claw." Sounds dangerous, but it's just a golf course. However, it will be the men's first 8K (about five miles) of the season, and for most of the freshman, their first 8K in competition. Women run a 5K (at 5:45 p.m.).

View the Official Academic Calendar
Intensive English Program Calendar
The requirements to earn a degree are different for every degree program. Resources such as the Undergraduate Bulletin will help students understand what the requirements are. To ensure that students meet these requirements - without making mistakes that require additional time at UW Oshkosh - students must also meet regularly with an academic advisor.
Degree-seeking students earn a Bachelor's Degree following successful completion of a minimum of 120 credits of undergraduate university coursework (some programs require more than 120 credits). Most programs are designed as four-year programs, with advance planning and sufficient credit loads. A few require more than four years and cannot be accelerated.
All Bachelor's Degree-seeking students must choose an area of specialization called a major. In most cases, students must specialize further by adding a combination of a minor, multiple minors, an emphasis or a second major. These combinations are what make each graduate unique!
Degree requirements and course descriptions are updated approximately once every three years. For the most up-to-date information on requirements, and to access descriptions for all UW Oshkosh courses, use the UW Oshkosh Undergraduate Bulletin.
Pre-professional Education & The Professions
With the exception of Engineering, UW Oshkosh students entering The Professions complete a Bachelor's Degree at UW Oshkosh, typically as a "pre-professional", and then apply for admission to a Professional (graduate) School. Pre-professional students are often referred to as "pre-engineering," "pre-health," "pre-law," "pre-med," etc.
UW Oshkosh pre-engineering students apply for admission to an engineering school prior to completing the UW Oshkosh Bachelor's Degree, transfer to the Engineering School if admitted, and continue to complete both the UW Oshkosh Bachelor's Degree and the Professional degree simultaneously while at the Engineering School.
Pre-Engineering Dual Degree Program
Students complete a BS in physics at UW Oshkosh and a BS in a selected engineering field from the University of Minnesota. The full program typically requires five years - 3 at UW Oshkosh plus 2 at the Professional School.
Everyone is invited to take advantage of free tutoring at UW Oshkosh! We find that our best students as well as students who find a few courses to be more challenging than they expected all access tutoring. It's a great way to raise a grade - and it's free!

Degree-seeking, exchange and visiting students may choose tutoring related to English language skills development or content area tutoring. IEP student tutoring focuses on language skills development.
The Center for Academic Resources has a professional tutor who assists students for whom English is a second or non-native language. This tutor works with individual students to help process course material (e.g., learning difficult vocabulary, making connections between concepts, comprehending cultural background, interpreting course assignments), be understood in English (e.g., pronunciation, presentations, classroom participation strategies), and effectively use English grammar ( e.g., subject/verb agreement, plurals, tenses).
All students who need English Language Assistance must have an appointment. Email email@example.com or call 424-2304 to schedule.

Beautiful pies Craig. Your crumb looks different from your usual pies. I know that you noted that the dough felt different, but did you notice a difference in the crumb and if so what? Your crumb shots here look awesome! Chau
I'm with parallei, that zucchini looks awesome. Really good coloration on the crumb.
Thanks. It all makes sense. Would you go so far as to say this crust and crumb is your best yet? or just different from your usual? I like this type of crumb but I also like a bit of a crisp on the outside. Did these have less of a crisp than usual b/c you baked it for 30 seconds less? Chau

Just got home from a week at the John C. Campbell Folk School in North Carolina. I really missed my loose leaf tea while I was gone! I was reduced to tea bags and I have to say, I've gotten pretty spoiled in a fairly short period of time. I took a variety of bags with me, but the only one I really enjoyed was the Honey Ginseng from Republic of Tea. And it still wasn't anywhere near on par with my loose leaf teas.
So, how do you travel with loose leaf teas and a limited cargo space? Oh, and no access to a kitchen. I was using the hot water spigot on the coffee machine. Suggestions?

Physical Description
Taeniura lymma is a colorful stingray with distinct, large, bright blue spots on its oval, elongated body. The snout is rounded and angular with broad outer corners. The tail tapers and can be equal to or slightly less than the body length when intact. Its caudal fin is broad and reaches to the tip of the tail. At the tip of the tail are two sharp venomous spines which permit this ray to strike at enemies forward of its head. The tail of Taeniura lymma can be easily recognized by the blue side-stripes found on either side. It has large spiracles that lie very close to its large eyes. It can grow to a disc diameter of about 25 cm but has been reported as being as large as 95 cm in diameter. The mouth is found on the underside of the body along with the gills. Within the mouth are two plates, which are used for crushing the shells of crabs, prawns, and mollusks. (McEachran, 2004)
Other Physical Features: Ectothermic; Bilateral symmetry; Venomous

The UN in one picture
As anyone who has read this blog knows, I'm not a fan of the UN. I normally call it the "Third World Debating club". It is world redistribution headquarters and a mockery of both democracy and any united action. For the latter I'm mostly grateful because the obvious underlying desire of the professional UN types is the establishment of a world government, or at least, a world taxing authority, and the redistribution of income.
But it was supposed to be an organization of states that could combine to stop genocide, totalitarianism, etc. Instead it has become this:
The picture says even more than the conversation bubbles show. Note the copyright date. Yes, that's how long the killing in the Sudan been going on and the picture says it all.
Instead the UN has been busy putting despots on the Human Rights Committee and making Robert Mugabe a UN "leader for tourism". Mugabe. The octogenarian dictator who has literally destroyed Zimbabwe's economy and reduced the country to a police state? What was Fidel too sick to take it?
People continue to argue that while it is corrupt, inept and abusive, it is a "useful forum" for the world's leaders.
No it's not. It's a third world debating club where the most serious attempts made by any of its members are to syphon money from the "rich" countries to their countries.
Anyway, the picture distills the problem to a fine point.
Totally useless, waste of money and certainly not at all fulfilling its charter.

Picturing the Past 160: Sondra Locke on TVPosted Wednesday, May 23, 2012, at 4:15 PM
Sondra Locke on late night TV in 1969. (T-G file photo)
It wasn't Johnny Carson's show. Maybe Joey Bishop or Dick Cavett, who were competing with Johnny in those days.
She had just come into her own as a star actress. I remember some people thought she made disparaging remarks about Shelbyville.
Interesting, too, that an ash tray is prominent in the photo. Remember when the late night hosts and their guests lit up?
Picturing the Past is featured each Tuesday in this blog. Reader contributions are welcome.

I think she was on the Dating Game before this T.V. appearance.I remember watching her and she made herself look worse than she could ever make Shelbyville look.

I was speaking of the Dating Game where she made herself look bad.

The newspaper in my city always publishes well known people's birthday daily and Sondra Locke's birthday appears yearly. She was two years younger than me in Central High, but it is really strange now, because she has now become five years younger.

That made me laugh out loud cookie. She would probably say that you have gotten three years older.

Speaking of ashtrays, consider how she is dressed compared to those of today.

Bo wrote a very funny column many years ago, probably in the time frame of this photo, about Sondra and her "age problem". The bottom line was something about how great it was that she was Valedictorian of her class of '62 at age 13!
On a related note, I read her biography a few years ago and found it very interesting. I think it was called "The Good, the Bad, and the Very Ugly."
-- Posted by dianainnc on Thu, May 24, 2012, at 8:39 AM
She is the same age as my brother. 66 years old. I know, they played 'patty cake' behind the old Shelbyville Mills Gym.
To this day I cannot imagine what Clint Eastwood saw in that woman. JMO
-- Posted by moonwalker on Thu, May 24, 2012, at 4:41 PM
What has this woman done to have so many be so ugly towards her? This was all before I moved here so I don't know any of the history other than she lived here and married a man that many around here would find objectionable, there really seems to be some animosity, is that she made it big and there is resentment or did she actually do something to cause these attitudes? I have heard she self destructed with her fame, but did she harm the community or people in any direct way or just herself?
-- Posted by wonderwhy on Sat, May 26, 2012, at 9:15 AM
First let me say her brother is a fine, honest and good man.I think she became corrupt when she moved to Ca.As for harsh words, she did not attend the funeral of her mother.She did send flowers to the funeral home,so she is not all bad.
-- Posted by mytaxesaremine on Sat, May 26, 2012, at 2:35 PM
She is 68 now. Someone should post that old talk show interview on YouTube.
-- Posted by ketcheup08 on Sun, May 27, 2012, at 12:00 AM
Go to youtube and check "Sondra Locke Every Which Way but Loose". A very wild video and some wild comments.
-- Posted by Grits on Sun, May 27, 2012, at 5:01 PM
Many female stars get their break with who they know. The ones with talent move on to become real stars.
This was not the case with Sondra. She was a little fish in a big pool, and as they say, her candle burned out all too soon.
-- Posted by moonwalker on Mon, May 28, 2012, at 7:14 PM
Does anyone remember when Sondra's mom owned 'Stickey's' old place on hwy 41.
-- Posted by moonwalker on Mon, May 28, 2012, at 7:29 PM
I thought this would be a good blog to write about since I left the one about Shelbyville Mills and I agree with cookie. She was a couple of years younger and I even got out my Aquila and she was a sophomore to our senior year. Another person mentioned her marriage and even though it's been awhile I always thought she married Gordon Anderson whose brother was our classmate. I don't recall if she married Clint Eastwood (if that's who is being referred to) or if she ever married anyone else. Perhaps someone else would know. As for her acting, it depends on the person and I do recall her playing Rosemary Clooney and she was rather good at that. Wherever she is or what's she's doing now, I just hope she's happy.
-- Posted by Number25 on Sat, Jun 2, 2012, at 4:37 PM
We were given her old phone # in Haley when we first moved here and used to get her phone calls. I was surprised to find out that we had the phone # number of a movie star.
In interviews, subsequently she has stated that she was from Wartrace, Tn. then Shelbyville, Tn. and finially I heard her say that she was from Nashville, Tn. Apparently, untruths have been a way of life for her or MAYBE she has "outgrown her raisin".

so, i've just "read" in Norwegian newspaper that an album "A Little Less Conversation" with Elvis' biggest hits will be released on 23 September (hm, it's smth different i have heard before and seen on VH1 -- "30 Number 1 Hits", a bit like Beatles "1").
And there were one really good thing on the article -- Elvis' album will make competition with the same disc of THE BEATLES "The Fab Four" which will be released in October as a tribute to 40 years from "LOve Me Do".
So --- have u heard smth more about it??? And what the hits on "The Fab Four" album will be??? A little bit of everything? I don't think that it will make double of "1", or maybe it will be the best of the best -- like Red and Blue Album on one cd?

distributed over the body. A red-orange wash on the underside of the fish extends
to include the pelvic and anal fins. The lips are bright red-orange. (Bradbury 1980;
Robins and Ray 1986).
The genus Ogcocephalus is confined to the Western Atlantic and Eastern Pacific.
Ogcocephalus corniger is found in the waters of the southeastern United States and
the eastern Gulf of Mexico. This species exhibits a greater known depth range than
most other Ogcocephalus species, having been found from 30 to 250 meters.
Size may range from 26 to 134 mm SL (standard length, i.e., excluding tail). (Bradbury 1980).

Red Listing Denim
Woven slowly on traditional looms, Red Listing is the most exclusive range of denims offered by G-Star. Each piece takes its name from the red thread woven into the selvedge and is recognisable by a rich, authentic surface texture;
the kind of denim that can only be created on old shuttle looms in the hands of skilled craftsmen.
> Shop Men > Shop Women
This season, Red Listing denim for men is available in four weights: 13, 14, 15 and 25oz. The range of weights from medium to super-heavy means more choice than ever in premium selvedge denim. Each weight is offered raw and rigid, ready to be broken-in.
For women, Red Listing denim is offered ready-to-wear with tall turn-ups and cut, raw-edged hems. The frayed hems lend a personalized note while the high cuffs reference classic denim etiquette and reveal the red-threaded selvedge in the outer seams.
" The kind of denim that can only be created on old shuttle looms in the hands of skilled craftsmen "
Red Listing selvedge is sought after because of the graceful and personal way it ages with long-term wear and minimal laundering. Like a second skin, it moulds to the body with time and takes on contours that are unique to the wearer.
The genuine indigo used in the yarn-dying process wears away slowly and unevenly, creating light, bright, personalised fades. And the high-quality, hardwearing cotton used in the yarns means that there is always plenty of time for you to age your Red Listing selvedge.

Carol and Rusty Barnes met when they both served as orientation counselors at Northeast Mississippi Community College, where Carol was a Tiger dancer and Rusty was a football player. Not long after they were introduced, Rusty presented Carol with a dime store ring and asked, "Will you marry me?"
Before long, the pretend proposal became a real one. Following their graduation from the University of Mississippi, Carol and Rusty married, settling into a happy family life that soon included two beautiful daughters. Rusty became a major with the criminal unit of the Mississippi Highway Patrol while Carol established a career as a professor in the kinesiology department at Mississippi College. Life for the college sweethearts seemed nothing short of idyllic.
But in 2006, Rusty began complaining of nausea and fatigue. A visit to the doctor brought a diagnosis of chronic myloid leukemia. The 41-year-old husband and father had cancer.
The Barneses were relieved to learn that chronic myloid leukemia typically responded well to treatment. Rusty was given chemo through a simple pill, and within one month, the cancer was in remission.
"He actually felt a little guilty because it seemed so easy," Carol recalls.
But during a routine follow-up visit in October of 2011, that relief changed to fear. The leukemia had evolved into acute myloid leukemia, a much more serious form of cancer. The couple broke the news to their children, Merrie Claire, then a freshman at the University of Mississippi, and Annelise, a student at Northwest Rankin Middle School.
"Our older daughter is very sensitive and emotional," Carol says. "When Rusty called her at college to tell her, she began to cry. The 13-year-old was very brave. She said, 'Okay, Daddy, we're going to handle this.'"
As recently as 10 years ago, a diagnosis of acute myloid leukemia would have been a death sentence. While there was hope for Rusty Barnes, fighting the cancer this time would take more than a simple pill. The treatment would involve days of intense, intravenous chemotherapy referred to as "red devil chemo." Harsh side effects would include intense pain, nausea, and fatigue, and Rusty would need frequent blood and platelet transfusions. But the chemo was only the beginning; Rusty would also need a bone marrow transplant. When none of their family or friends proved a match, a national search for a compatible donor began.
"I knew I'd have to miss some classes," Carol says. "I was open with my students and my colleagues in explaining why, and I asked them to pray for us. I received so many words of encouragement from my MC family. I felt so blessed to be exposed to Christian young men and women who were so strong in their faith. I had students I didn't even know come to me and say 'God's going to be there for you. He's going to help you through this.' That was pretty powerful."
Carol's colleagues filled in for her on days when she was unable to leave Rusty's side. MC students and members of the Mississippi Highway Patrol stepped up to offer their prayers, support, even the blood from their own bodies, donating gallons of blood and platelets in Rusty Barnes' name. They were joined by complete strangers who read about the Barnes family on Facebook and were inspired to donate. Carol's e-mail inbox was filled with Scriptures and messages of love and encouragement.
While Carol knew the diagnosis was serious, she never once allowed herself to think that her husband might die.
"We knew that God was with us every step of the way," she says. "And we realized very quickly that God was not through with Rusty here on earth."
Rusty Barnes spent most of October and November of 2011 in the hospital receiving chemotherapy, confined to isolation to prevent infection. In December, the Barneses received the news they had been waiting for — a bone marrow match had been found.
The donor who saved Rusty Barnes' life was a 23-year-old man. The bone marrow donation program requires that a full year pass before the donor and recipient may contact one another, but the Barnes family has already sent the donor letters expressing gratitude for his priceless gift. "My family really wants to meet the donor," Rusty Barnes says. "I have mixed emotions. What do you say to the guy who saved your life? There is no way to thank him, but yes, I definitely want to meet him."
The transplant was scheduled for December 7, 2011. Preparing for the procedure meant taking Rusty Barnes to the brink of death. Intense chemotherapy killed virtually all of his stem cells; the new donor cells would take their place. But with Rusty's body ready, the Barneses received frightening news from the bone marrow registry. The plane transporting the precious, life-saving donor cells — cells with a 48-72 hour window of viability — had been delayed. The chemo had killed Rusty's own cells; failing to perform the transplant immediately would mean almost certain death. After the grueling treatments, the painful waiting, and the miracle of finding a donor, Rusty Barnes' life was now threatened by a weather delay.
"I went on Facebook and called and e-mailed everyone we knew and asked them to pray," Carol says. "Our contact from the registry was giving me text updates and finally, we got one that said the plane had touched down in Jackson. We were going to make it. I took pictures of that wonderful little bag of cells, that second chance at life, and posted them on Facebook. Then I sat and watched those cells move through the tube into my husband's body."
The December 8 transplant was successful. Rusty Barnes went from cancer patient to cancer survivor — and thanks to the anonymous donor, from blood type A+ to AB+. A bone marrow biopsy performed in May 2012 showed no trace of cancer.
Acute myloid leukemia cost Rusty 90 pounds and his dark brown hair grew back dark blond, but the most lasting change the cancer worked in Rusty and Carol was a renewed appreciation for life, each other, and the power of prayer, and for Carol, a heightened sense of compassion for others.
"I would never say I'm glad my husband suffered," Carol says. "But God allows things to happen for a reason. When Rusty was sick, so many people came to us and said, 'You need to let me help you.' I want to reach out and help others now.
"I think this experience has made me a better person and a better teacher," Carol continues. "I always enjoyed teaching, but now I look at circumstances and really feel what my students are going through. You have to have compassion to be a good teacher, to make a difference in someone's life. My daughter came to me once and said, 'My professor doesn't care how I do in his class. He doesn't care about me.' I do care and I want my students to know that."
In talking with them, it's clear that Barnes' students do know.
Seth Lusk is a senior at MC; Carol Barnes is his teacher and advisor. At the same time that Barnes was coping with her husband's illness, Seth's father was diagnosed with the same form of cancer.
"I approached her about my dad because I was missing so much class," Lusk says. "I had never heard of this condition before my dad got sick. When Professor Barnes told me her husband had it, too, it was strange to hear, but it also gave me a sense of relief. I had someone to talk to, someone I already trusted and respected, who really understood."
Barnes was able to provide Lusk with information, advice, and the kind of support that could only come from someone who had experienced cancer first hand. When Barnes asked that a blood drive already planned for the MC campus be held in honor of Seth Lusk's father, the line to donate stretched over 100 feet.
"My dad's condition was really bad for awhile, and I was very worried," Lusk says, his voice breaking as he fights back tears. "Professor Barnes encouraged me to be strong for my dad. She told me to stay positive, that her husband had been through it and my dad would make it through it, too. And during all of this, she was still going through it herself. Sometimes I'd go to her office to talk to her and see these piles of bills or overhear some of her conversations with the doctors. I felt for her, too."
"If I met someone who had just received a cancer diagnosis today, the first thing I would do would be to pray that person has a relationship with Jesus Christ. I can't imagine what we would have done if we didn't have that. My husband suffered greatly, but he always had that hope, that faith, because he knew that God was there, comforting him." — Carol Barnes
Thirty-seven-year-old Lekishi Davis is a single mother of two who suffers from hypertension. Her 11-year-old son has been diagnosed with behavioral disorders and has spent time in treatment facilities; caring for him has made it challenging for Davis to care for herself. Still, Davis enrolled in MC determined to become a nurse.
"When I found out I would actually be able to attend college, I was so excited," Davis says. "I kept telling people 'I'm going to MC, y'all!'"
But in October 2011, midway through her first semester, Davis woke in the middle of the night to find her apartment building in flames. She and her children escaped unharmed, but lost all of their possessions in the fire.
"Losing everything was awful," Davis recalls. "But it was more than that. It took the wind out of my sails. I could not seem to bounce back. It made me question whether I should be there at MC, whether I should even try."
When Carol Barnes learned what had happened, she reached out to Davis.
"Professor Barnes called me to check on me. She bought me Walmart gift cards. She gave me my lessons so I wouldn't get behind in class. She convinced me to enroll in an exercise program and made sure I was taking my medicine. When she found out about my son's condition, she gave me advice about his diet and things that would help him, too," Davis says. "All I could think was, 'Why is this woman doing this? She has things of her own going on. Her husband is sick. She doesn't even know me.'
"I didn't think there were any good people left. I had lost a lot of faith in humanity," Davis continues. "But Professor Barnes and the whole MC campus got together to help me. It was amazing, shocking to me to learn there were people out there who had a heart. That support helped me work my way back. I'm still in school and my children and I are getting back on our feet."
Carol Barnes has taken to heart 2 Corinthians 1: 3-4, which reminds us that God comforts us "so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."
"Professor Barnes made my whole experience at MC very different," Seth Lusk says. "I'm not from Mississippi and at first I didn't feel like I fit in here, but her personal support changed that. She is one of the most genuine, compassionate people I've ever met."
"If I had to describe Carol Barnes in one word, that word would be 'Godsend,'" Davis says. "She has the attributes the Bible uses to describe love — she is that person in First Corinthians 13. Other people can quote it, but she does it. Sometimes God sends you an angel to help you through. That's what Carol Barnes was to me."

Shared Work Space is on the Rise
By Juliette Fairley
NEW YORK (MainStreet)--As the economy slowly recovers, more nonprofits are turning to shared workspace alternatives to meet occupancy needs with for profit companies only a few steps behind in the national trend.
There are now 800 commercial shared work space facilities in the United States. That's up from about 300 in 2011, according to Deskmag's Annual Global Coworking Survey.
"What's new is that in the last five years companies are taking full advantage of the proximity by sharing back office expenses, such as human resources, accounting, IT and contracts," said Megan Devenport, project coordinator with Denversharedspaces.org.
While non-profits, real estate professionals and foundations are applying shared space models across the country, Denver is ahead of the curve with more than 25 self-identified shared space centers. At least two non-profits that share work space with three others at the Colorado Collaborative for Non-Profits in Denver reported a 30% drop in occupancy cost.
"The other non-profits in the space reported accessing a higher quality of internet service, phone system and copier," said Devenport.
Other states at the forefront of the movement include Connecticut and Texas.
"Vancouver, Canada is the leader in this area but the trend is carrying over into the for-profit world nationwide," Devenport told Mainstreet.com.
About 71% of workers in a shared office experienced a boost in creativity since joining such a space and 62% said their standard of work had improved, according to the study by Deskmag, which covers the co-working industry.
"Shared work space is now a tool for achieving a higher level of collaboration," said Devenport.
Tips for non-profits and companies seeking to move into a shared work space include the following:
- 1. Identify an organization whose mission aligns or that provides a complimentary service.
- 2. Visit the space bank at DenverSharedSpaces.org to find potential roommates and available space.
- 3. Implement an agreement that includes expectations for cleanliness, sound and time investment around interacting or developing collaboration.
- 4. Establish a pro-rata rate for sharing back office expenses, such as an administrative assistant or office manager. The larger organization may pay 60% while the smaller organization pays 40%, for example.
- 5. Agree on a per-head flat rate that everyone pays to cover office supplies. "Some organizations prefer to keep office supplies in house but we see economies of scales when you were able to develop a system that some else administers for supplies," said Devenport. "In our office, it's $50 a month per person fee, which covers office supplies and consumables, such as coffee."

Topic: Delete file after send_file is done
I have a file server which has to be deleted after a user downloads it. I send the file with send_file, but I can't just put a File.delete(path) after that line because send_file returns immediatly, so the file is deleted even before the user receives the complete file.
How do I fix this? I think it's a common problem but haven't found a solution yet.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (33 votes).
In short: Nice alternative to the Great North RunIn full: Pleased with my PB time and enjoyed the whole event, including afterwards when 3 guys helped push my strandid car out of the mud and into the hour long queue to get out of the car park.Date of review: November 8, 2012
In short: Nice scenary but poor value for moneyIn full: This was my first ever half marathon, and I probably should have picked an easier course as this one most certainly is 'undulating'!The Good- Beautiful place to run, and the weather was perfect. Marshalls offered excellent encouragement. Good crowd support although only on the start and home stretches.The Bad- £28 to enter and i've no idea where the money goes. I appreciate it is for charity but there are no road closures required on the course, the organisers did not close off roads to make access to the site easier (Took me 1 hr from Reading) meaning I didn't get lined up until 10 minutes from the start. Car park was a bit of a joke as well- a muddy field, with cars spinning their wheels left right and centre to try and get out. No goody bag either, just 2 mars bars and a bottle of water. Medal was also pretty tacky.Date of review: October 29, 2012
In short: Still my favourite halfIn full: It does help that is on my doorstep so I can cycle there and back meaning any problems with parking, toilets and baggage check never affect me.It is a lovely lovely route - the hills are plenty but nothing too steep and the downhills make up for it - especially as the last 3 miles is more or less all downhill with fantastic views.The medal looked like a 4 year old had coloured it in but nice to have as was the Mars bar Very friendly and fun race and would recommendDate of review: October 21, 2012
In short: Very well organised, will be back, if I can remember to get my entry in on timeIn full: Solution to the parking problems - cycle from home, bring your bike on the train or park somewhere else and cycle in from there. It works, try it!Date of review: October 19, 2012
In short: Lots of "undulating" up and down... Hardly any flats to speak of! Lots of toilets which is good, no goody bag which is bad!Date of review: October 11, 2012
In short: Beautiful scenery, varied course, but a long last mile!In full: I thought organisation was fine, and not as bad as many other rate it. Baggage, loos, marshalling etc all good, and I don't really mind about the plastic water cups. Some lucozade as well as water would have been nice at one of stops.The race really is in gorgeous scenery - so much nicer than Royal Parks in London on the same day.Date of review: October 9, 2012
In short: Final cracked itIn full: This one has been my nemesis race for 5 years, 2 previous attempts put me well outside of my target time but this year I beat my course pb by 15 minutes and my distance pb by 2 minutes so pretty pleased.Yes there are hills but nothing that is too taxing and they look worse than they are.Will I do it again? Nope! I have achieved what I wanted to and will leave Windsor on a high.Thanks to all the marshals on the course , the fantastic crowds and of course the organisers.Date of review: October 8, 2012
In short: Beautiful scenery, fun course, great crowdIn full: I knew running in the Great Park would be good, but I hadn't anticipated quite how spectacular the course would be. It really helps with the mental aspect of a run if there's always something nice to look at.The course is undeniably hilly, but it's not as tough as you'd expect, and there are as many downhill sections as there are uphills. The organisation was generally good, although the first bit was extremely crowded, and I was forced to go well below my planned pace for a mile or so, and use up a lot of energy dodging round people. That's the case with any big run, though, so was no big surprise. The water stations were well-manned and run, but cups are a real nuisance and very hard to drink from while running, so bottles would have been a help, and it would also have been good to have had them on both sides of the road. Sports drinks would also have been good, but that's no massively big deal on a relatively short run on a cool day.Medals were nice, although there was no 'goody bag' as such. I don't see that as a big problem, since the goody bags rarely contain anything worth having except a few freebies from the sponsors. A bottle of water and a mars bar was all we got and all I really needed.All in all, a great run and definitely one I will do again next year.Date of review: October 8, 2012
In short: Slightly challenging but excellent locationIn full: Really enjoyed this run, my first half marathon for 8 years. The sun eventually came out around 2.00pm so I had the last half of my run in sunny weather. The course is quite undulating so can be tiring on the legs, probably not the easiest for a first timer but certainly not beyond anyone with enough training. Excellent atmosphere and the guys on the p.a. done a great job giving information and encouragment at all times. Toilets were plentiful and the baggage storage worked well. An excellent crowd cheered all competitors along and a special thank you to the Army corps who marshalled and cheered us round. My only issue would be with leaving at the end. I had read in the brochure that there was priorty parking for runners so we duly displayed out running number on the dashboard. We arrived early as suggested and then unfortunately were parked right at the back when it came to leaving. The usual free for all ensued meaning we sat in the car for 60 minutes barely moving before we managed to get out of the field. There was a marshall with a radio trying to control cars but he left after realising no one was taking any notice of him. I Really don't want to be sitting in traffic for an hour after running 13 miles and then driving a further 2 hours home, some improvements still required there but otherwise a great day.Date of review: October 8, 2012
In short: Beautiful course. Not as tough as expected as uphills offset by downhills and fast tarmac throughout. PB'd by 4mins in my 11th half so can't have been that tough! Loved it.Date of review: October 7, 2012

Mysteries abound in the Beaver Islands
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Sportsman Island in the Mississippi River south of campus. The island was formerly connected to the west bank by a bridge.
ST. CLOUD, Minn. -- The Beaver Islands are Central Minnesota's islands of mystery.
The 30-plus Mississippi River islands adjacent to the St. Cloud State University campus ask far more questions than they answer.
A loud splash startles a visitor, leaving only widening circular ripples on the water. Was that a smallmouth bass? A beaver? Something else?
Trees take on freakish shapes, fed by plentiful water and nutrients and tortured by floodwaters, wind, erosion and decay. How does that willow grow flat on its side, with its crown dangling in the current? How old is a basswood with eight trunks at its base, each trunk as massive as any seen in a St. Cloud city park?
Why is that spotted bird circling around me, coming ever closer? Now on foot, now flying awkwardly, it is crowding me like salesperson pursuing a quota. Peet-weet! Peet-weet! Peet-weet!
Swoosh! A black-and-white woodpecker with green grubs in its beak lands on a maple, then wriggles its way into a round hole in the trunk. How many hatchlings inside? How many insects do they eat each day?
A long line of massive posts project from the water along the west bank of an interior island. The posts are severely weathered and rotted at the top. A pier from the past? Who sunk these posts and why?
Out on Sportsman Island, near the St. Cloud Country Club, traces of days gone by beg to be explained: A rusted automobile resting upside-down in a meadow, a children's merry-go-round, a metal building resisting the encroachment of vines, bushes and trees.
On the stony lee end of an island, a pile of shucked mussels a suggests a satisfying meal. But which animal? Mink? Muskrat? Otter?
In an age where answers are found with a few clicks on the Internet, the Beaver Islands are provocative, unsettling.
Explored on foot or by boat, the islands challenge the senses and stir the imagination.
