[Note: This post runs annually every summer. Since last year.]
Everything is considered a brand these days. Why not summer? It has the characteristics of a brand: Brand attributes – heat, long days, short pants, time off. It has a brand's personality – smiling, casual, fun-loving, deeply nostalgic. It has its own sounds (katydids in the afternoon), sights (fireflies at dusk) and smells (sea salt or cattle feed lots, depending on where you live). The only reason that summer would not be considered a brand is this: No one is actively measuring and managing its brand value... There are no brand consultants for summer... No publicists... No logo designers... Summer just happens, and no one is in charge of it... but you.
Happy summer.

The Report Card on British Columbia's Secondary Schools 2016 ranks 294 public and independent secondary schools based on seven academic indicators using student results from annual provincewide exams, grade-to-grade transition rates and graduation rates. In addition to five years of academic results, the report card shows which B.C. secondary schools have improved, or fallen behind, based on the academic indicators derived from provincewide test results, grade-to-grade transition, and graduation rates.
How Alberta's Carbon Emission Cap Will Reduce Oil Sands Growth estimates the Alberta government's proposed cap on oil sands operations will significantly reduce the industry's production potential by hundreds of billions of dollars cumulatively between 2025 and 2040, but do very little to curb global greenhouse gas emissions.
Ontario vs. Michigan: Policy Lessons from the Wolverine State notes that while Michigan has revived its manufacturing sector since the recession, Ontario's manufacturing sector continues to struggle. Michigan's rebound is due largely to several significant policy reforms, which include replacing the complex Michigan Business Tax (MBT) with a simpler corporate income tax of six per cent, implementing sharp budget cuts followed by a period of limited spending growth, and the introduction of "right-to-work" legislation.

PHILADELPHIA —Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) patients of different sexes and races may respond differently to treatment with commonly used medications for the disease, says a new study from researchers at Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.The results of the study are published online ahead of print in the journal CHEST.
"Over the past decade, treatment outcomes have improved for PAH patients as a group, but little is known about which patients are most likely to respond to specific treatments," said senior study author Scott Halpern, MD, PhD, MBE, assistant professor of Medicine and Epidemiology. "Our research has shown for the first time that differences in the behavior of the disease between men and women and between whites and blacks may lead to differences in patients' responses to treatment with commonly used PAH oral medications."
PAH is a disease in which the blood pressure in a patient's lungs becomes dangerously high. That high blood pressure puts a strain on the heart, leading to shortness of breath, leg swelling, and chest pain. PAH worsens over time and can be fatal.
The current study evaluated pooled data from six randomized placebo-controlled trials of endothelin receptor antagnosists, or ERAs. ERAs were the first oral therapies approved by the FDA for use in PAH and remain among the most commonly used drugs to treat the condition. A total of 1,130 patients were included in the analyses. The researchers specifically estimated the differences in the effect of treatment (ERAs vs. placebo) between men and women and between white or black patients in terms of the change in six-minute walk distance from baseline to 12 weeks.
The response to ERAs, relative to that of placebo, was more than twice as great among women as among men, and was much greater among whites than among blacks. "The available evidence certainly suggests that whites with PAH have stronger responses to these drugs than do blacks, but future research is needed to better understand how these drugs work among blacks, who have not been highly represented in studies to date," said study co-author Steven Kawut, MD, MS, associate professor of Medicine and Epidemiology and director of the Pulmonary Vascular Disease Program at Penn.
"In our study, women with PAH obtained the greatest response to the ERAs, and we also found that whites may experience a greater treatment benefit than blacks," said Nicole Gabler, PhD, MHA, the study's lead author and a post-doctoral researcher in Penn's Center for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics. "This does not necessarily mean that patients or physicians should change their current treatment for PAH. However, the findings support the important possibility that biologic differences between sexes and races, or distinct characteristics in the disease that affects these subgroups, could lead to more effective therapies in the future."
The authors suggest that based on their observations, future studies are needed to explore the biologic underpinnings of PAH that account for why women and whites may show a greater response to ERA treatment and ways to optimally match the therapy to the patient.
Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centers, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. Penn Medicine consists of the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (founded in 1765 as the nation's first medical school) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System, which together form a $5.3 billion enterprise.

The School is consistently among the nation's top recipients of funding from the National Institutes of Health, with $373 million awarded in the 2015 fiscal year.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System's patient care facilities include: The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and Penn Presbyterian Medical Center -- which are recognized as one of the nation's top "Honor Roll" hospitals by U.S. News & World Report -- Chester County Hospital; Lancaster General Health; Penn Wissahickon Hospice; and Pennsylvania Hospital -- the nation's first hospital, founded in 1751. Additional affiliated inpatient care facilities and services throughout the Philadelphia region include Chestnut Hill Hospital and Good Shepherd Penn Partners, a partnership between Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Network and Penn Medicine.

Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (OISST)
The NOAA 1/4° daily Optimum Interpolation Sea Surface Temperature (or daily OISST) is an analysis constructed by combining observations from different platforms (satellites, ships, buoys) on a regular global grid. A spatially complete SST map is produced by interpolating to fill in gaps.
The basic daily OISST methodology is described in Reynolds et al. (2007), but minor modifications were introduced in the current version, version 2 (Reynolds 2009). The methodology includes bias adjustment of satellite and ship observations (referenced to buoys) to compensate for platform differences and sensor biases. This proved critical during the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in 1991, when the widespread presence of volcanic aerosols resulted in infrared satellite temperatures that were much cooler than actual ocean temperatures (Reynolds 1993).
Contacts: email@example.com and email@example.com
The daily OISST belongs to a family of products that are sometimes referred to as "Reynolds SST" after Richard W. Reynolds, who developed the early OISST methodology with T. Smith at the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP). The earliest OISST analyses were at lower spatial and temporal resolution. Reynolds later moved to NCEI, where he helped develop the 1/4° daily OISST. Precursors to the daily OISST include the NOAA 1° weekly OISST (version 2) available at NCEP. NCEP also runs a copy of the daily OISST software for their internal use. This and the fact that both weekly and daily analyses are both at version 2 often leads to confusion. The weekly OISST is not a seven-day average of the daily OISST. The weekly OISST gets its name because it uses a week of satellite observations averaged onto a 1° grid prior to interpolation; the daily OISST uses a day of satellite observations averaged onto the 1/4° grid. There are other methodological differences between the two products, discussed in the references previously mentioned.
Additional Data
Three other maps at the same 1/4° spatial resolution complement the daily OISST:
- Anomalies (i.e., the daily OISST minus a 30-year climatological mean) represent departures from "normal" or average conditions. Computation of several climate indices, such as the El Niño index, utilize SST anomalies.
- The error field provides a measure of confidence or quality, allowing users to exclude (using a threshold) or to minimize (using weights) the impact of daily OISST values with greater interpolation errors.
- The seven-day median of daily sea ice concentrations serves as the basis for proxy SSTs in the marginal ice zone, where observations are lacking. The proxy SST allows interpolation of temperatures from the open ocean to the seasonal sea ice margin.
Two Kinds of Daily OISST
There are two kinds of daily OISST, named after the relevant satellite SST sensors. These are the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer on the Earth Observing System (AMSR-E). AVHRR has the longest record (from late 1981 to the present) of SST measurements from a single sensor design. Infrared instruments, like AVHRR, can make observations at relatively high resolution but cannot see through clouds. Microwave instruments like AMSR-E can measure SSTs in most weather conditions (except heavy rain) but not adjacent to land.
- AVHRR-Only refers to the OISST that uses satellite SSTs from AVHRR.
- AVHRR+AMSR uses AVHRR and additional data from AMSR-E, available from 2002 to 2011. Thus, in AVHRR+AMSR, observations near land come from AVHRR, while AMSR-E has superior spatial coverage over the open ocean. The combined use of infrared and microwave in cloud-free regions reduces systematic biases due to the independent error characteristics of the two sensors. After AMSR-E lost its full functionality in Oct 2011, AVHRR+AMSR production ended. Plans exist for rerelease of this product under another name using follow-up microwave instruments.
Input Data Preparation
The three inputs to the daily OISST require different preparation, as described in Reynolds et al. (2007). The in situ SSTs need to be checked for outliers, and then averaged onto the 1/4° grid, separately for ships and buoys. The ship data are adjusted to the buoys by subtracting a constant 0.14°C. Similarly, satellite temperatures are averaged onto the analysis grid, after which they are bias-adjusted to the in situ data. For the marginal ice zone, where there is little in situ data, proxy SSTs are generated from sea ice concentrations. The interpolation step combines the prepared inputs.
Climatology and Anomalies
The climatology used to compute the daily OISST anomalies, available from NCEP,represents the 1971–2000 base period and is interpolated to 1/4° daily grid file from the 1° monthly file. The climatology is described in Xue et al. (2003).
NOTE: Banzon et al. (2014) computed a new climatology on a 1/4° grid using thirty years (1982-2011) of the AVHRR_ONLY. This climatology, available by ftp , has a higher resolution than the NCEP climatology, but is not yet utilized for the OISST anomaly computation

Just a heads up to anyone who is/was interested...I received my pre-seasoned (by the seller) pans from Detroit Style Pizza Co. late last week. They look great!
So now I wonder if Detroit Style is selling used pans as "pre-seasoned."
So now I wonder if Detroit Style is selling used pans as "pre-seasoned." Because if they are, then, I'm definitely in the market. I'm arriving on home leave next week, and I'd be willing to have a few more (although I don't make pizza often, when I do, I need a lot).
One more question has come up (that I had been meaning to ask)...Is it possible to make this (PizzaHog's) dough without a stand mixer/dough hook? Unfortunately, I don't own either. I have a hand mixer, but no dough hooks. Can you just knead the dough by hand? From what it sounds like, the dough is pretty wet and pliable, so I imagine that hand kneading it would be tough...without adding a bunch of flour to it, at least. Or should I try to find some dough hooks that I can attach to my hand mixer? Any advice is appreciated!
Posting in hopes that norma427 can lend her expertise Whenever I make my Detroit style pizzas, I don't get quite the crunchiness on the bottom of the pizzas as I would like. If you look at the pictures that I have posted here, the edges and top are just about perfect, but I would really like a crunchier bottom. I am currently baking my pizzas at 475 degrees for 15 minutes (on the lowest rack), and at that time and temperature, the cheese is getting very brown, almost burned in a couple of spots. I dont really want to risk keeping them in there any longer than they already are, so I was wondering if you had any advice as to how to get a crunchier crust without overcooking everything else. Would a higher temperature do anything to effect the crunch? Maybe less oil in the pan? I could only go up to 500, but I'm new to this, so I'm not really sure. I appreciate any advice!
Just a heads up to anyone who is/was interested...I received my pre-seasoned (by the seller) pans from Detroit Style Pizza Co. late last week. They look great! They cost about the same as the ones that I bought from Bucket Outlet, but saved me the trouble of having to season them myself, which was nice. I can't wait to try them out!
Are the pans that you ordered and pictured the 10" x 14" ones? It doesn't look like they carry the 12" x 17" variety.
That pizza looks real good Sonny. I have been having some tasty pizza using I think Pizza Hogs recipe. I think he posted the pdf file. His pizza look pretty awesome along with many others.I just got the same pans as Sonny. I had sticking issues on my first cook but now my pies are sliding right out. I have one 8x10 and one 10x14.I over cooked my pizza but still tasted good.http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww16/jsperk/2012-10-07_19-05-32_465.jpghttp://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww16/jsperk/2012-10-07_19-05-46_674.jpghttp://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww16/jsperk/2012-10-07_20-19-57_616.jpghttp://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww16/jsperk/2012-10-07_19-19-53_78.jpghttp://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww16/jsperk/2012-10-07_19-20-29_267.jpg
Nice work! Did you cook at 475, bottom rack, like me?
Last night's dinner, using the Detroit Pizza pans @ 475F, bottom rack. Used 350g of dough instead of the usual 375-400 to get a little faster turnaround on a weeknight.
How was your (pizza's) undercarriage?
I sure dont know if what I did or what Trenton Bill did will help anyone or not.
Thanks for pointing out that post about lower hydration - after trying 67% hydration and the 75% recipe from this thread a couple times each, neither works exactly as I want. The first is not delicate enough (although it goes in the pan really easily) and the second is just a little too soft to make panning with minimal oil a real challenge. For my next run I was going to split the difference and go with 71% but I'll give 70% a shot and see how it works.

In short: A fun race, but no way a PB race!In full: There are some tricky hills through the woods, and some very frustrating single-file areas, making overtaking impossible. The atmosphere is good though, and it certainly tests new muscles up some steep hills. Definately worth a trip if you're local.Date of review: June 28, 2005
In short: Great run on a really nice course. Well organised and the whole family welcomeIn full: I think the course takes you on pretty much every surface except sand so quite a challange if you have only done road running. Really nice run and enjoyed every minute. Really friendly atmosphere or maybe I just waffle and people are too polite to tell me to shut up. Will definately be back next year.Date of review: June 27, 2005

In short: I loved itIn full: This was one of my first memorable 10K races, I've only been running a year or so and I loved this race, from running through an open field with the sun shining to running underneath the trees in the darkened woods, one minute we were no where near civilization, the next running alongside the A21, fantastic! - what a course!!Date of review: January 21, 2005

Richmond, Ky. (August 25, 2014)— Transferring to a four-year institution became easier for Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) students today with the signing of a statewide, multi-program agreement with Eastern Kentucky University (EKU).
"This agreement moves us closer to our goal of providing KCTCS students with seamless pathways to getting a baccalaureate degree," said KCTCS President Michael B. McCall. "We are extremely proud of our partnership with EKU and believe it will increase student access and success."
The statewide memorandum of agreement facilitates the seamless transfer of KCTCS students to EKU by:
1. Providing a structure through which transfer-related student information reports will be exchanged between KCTCS and EKU;
2. Identifying students who are likely to consider transferring from KCTCS to EKU; and
3. Enhancing advising services and transferability of credits through EKU's Colonel Connection program by providing regularly updated DegreeWorks audit of the student's progress toward a four-year degree at EKU. Each participating student receives regular advising from an EKU advisor, thus minimizing lost transfer credit.
"A seamless transition for transfer students between their community college experience to a four-year institution is essential. That is why I am particularly excited about this joint agreement between EKU and KCTCS as we seek to graduate more students with bachelor's degrees across the Commonwealth. Eastern is committed to working side-by-side with KCTCS and its regional campuses as we provide greater access to higher education for all Kentuckians," said EKU President Michael T. Benson.

Temperature plays a huge role in beer making, so why not pizza?
Temperatures of 40 to 55 F are ideal for the formation of acetic acid; 55 to 90 F results in the formation of the blander lactic acid. Acetic acid imparts a far more sour quality to bread than lactic acid. As an added benefit, acetic acid also strengthens the doughs structure, although too much of this acidity would ultimately weaken it. Some bakers prefer the milder flavor provided by lactic acid."
By the way - that "lactobacillus" thing - is that the enzymatic reaction we breadmakers use to get either more Lactic acid or more Acetic acid by controlling the temperature during fermentation??
Oh, I think it's starting to come together for me - thank you.So technically the first thing the original poster wrote about disregarding Lactobacillus .... is exactly what I didn't disregard ....Sorry bout that.

Northern Michigan men routed by Michigan Tech in season finale
HOUGHTON – Michigan Tech earned benefits both tangible and intangible from its 72-48 victory over Northern Michigan University on Saturday at the SDC Gym in Houghton.
The Huskies gained revenge and a split in the season series with their rivals and, thanks to some outside help, a share of the GLIAC regular season men's basketball championship.
When the Huskies took care of the ball, their offense proved unstoppable. Tech shot a blistering 75 percent (15-for-20) in the first half, but led by only eight because of eight turnovers.
Though Tech's percentage dropped to a mere 56 percent (14-for-25) after half, the Huskies had only three turnovers and turned the game into a blowout.
"I think, to our guys' credit, they were ready … we treated it much more like a rivalry game," Huskies coach Kevin Luke said.
The Huskies (19-7, 16-6 GLIAC) never trailed, but the Wildcats issued a strong challenge throughout the first half. T.J. Cameron (10 points) was a perfect 4-for-4 from the field and Matthew Craggs added eight more on 4-of-5 shooting as NMU closed from nine to two with 6:43 to play.
Tech surged to close the half, including a poster-quality, alley-oop dunk from T.J. Brown to Ali Haidar, both seniors. The lead grew to 11 before settling at eight.
Coming out of the break, the Huskies made their finishing move.
Tech scored on its first four possessions, while NMU went 1-for-6 from the field in the first five minutes as the difference reached 15 and grew from there.
Wildcats coach Doug Lewis pointed to the early second half as the point in which the game got out of control.
"We couldn't get stops in the first four or five possessions," he said.
"(The Huskies) did a good job executing. Against a good team you can't have breakdowns."
Haidar finished with another double-double in his final regular-season game at the SDC Gym: 17 points (on 7-of-9 shooting) and 10 rebounds, game highs in both categories. Austin Armga added 15 points.
For the Wildcats, Cameron was high scorer with 15. Craggs added 12.
NMU finishes its season with a record of 5-21, 4-18 in GLIAC play.
"Nobody quit. They come to practice and play hard every day. They come to the games and give me their all. They're a good group of guys and they didn't quit," Lewis said.
Tech got some assistance from its other U.P. neighbor, Lake Superior State. The Lakers' 72-70 defeat of Wayne State at Sault Ste. Marie created a three-way tie atop the GLIAC standings involving Tech, Wayne and South Division champ Findlay.
Due to the league's complicated system for breaking inter-divisional ties, Wayne will be the top seed for the league tournament starting Wednesday.
The Huskies, who won their first GLIAC men's hoops title since 2003, will be the second seed and host a quarterfinal game Wednesday at the SDC Gym. All three are GLIAC Champions.
Luke said the Huskies treated Saturday's game as a playoff dress rehearsal.
"Most importantly, in our last regular season game, it was great for our seniors to have a good performance against Northern Michigan," he said.

OCZ Technology Group, a leading maker of solid-state drives, on Tuesday introduced a new series of SSD that promises extreme performance - thanks to Indilinx Everest controller - amid relatively low price-points.
The OCZ Petrol Series delivers bandwidth up to 400MB/s and 35 000 IOPS, and is optimized for the complete spectrum of file types and sizes, according to OCZ. Additionally, advanced features unique to Indilinx, such as proprietary page mapping algorithms, allow for steady mixed-workload performance, and innovative latency reduction technology enables superior access times as low as 0.06ms, the manufacturer said. Petrol ensures the most consistent and reliable performance as well as minimized performance degradation even after the drive's storage capacity is highly utilized.
"Until today, SSD adoption has been limited to high performance applications due to the high cost of SSDs in relation to slower rotating discs, and we are proud to once again close the gap in pricing without sacrificing durability. The new Petrol Series showcases the flexibility of the Indilinx Everest platform and NDurance Technology, allowing OCZ to deliver the benefits of SSDs to a wide new set of applications while retaining the superior real world performance and reduced latency that separate Everest-based SSDs from our competitors," said Ryan Petersen, chief executive officer of OCZ Technology.
OCZ promises that Petrol-series SSDs with capacities ranging from 64GB to 512GB will cost 30% lower than comparable previous-generation SSDs. The OCZ Petrol family of solid-state drives will be available throughout OCZ's global channel in the coming weeks.

Went to the game last night, was one of about 500 people there, if that.
I ordered one of these last night:
The person that I was with consumed half of it in about forty minutes (no Peeker, not me or other fat associates you may know). We then watched another guy try to eat the entire sammich. No chance. TOO MUCH bread. They even give you the game to eat it but this guy looked like a shark that had his eyes rolled up inside of his head after getting nearly half of it down. I would like to see Man vs. Food tackle this one.

In what's been a legacy that will never be forgotten, Du Quoin head coach Al Martin made a farewell tour stop Friday night at Taylor Field.
Looking to go out on a high note, Martin's Indians couldn't deliever down the stretch.
Trying to capitalize on a pair of interceptions from Harrisburg quarterback Sykes Thompson, Du Quoin's offense sputtered out in a 14-7 final.
The loss drops Du Quoin to 0-2 overall, while Harrisburg gets off the schnide and now sits at 1-1.
Martin's problems with a pesky Harrisburg bunch continue as the Indian has now lost five straight to the Bulldogs, while Harrisburg has won nine straight at Taylor Field.
For Harrisburg head coach Jason Roper, the only solace he takes in those stats is the fact that his kids showed effort as last week's shut out loss at Mt. Carmel.
"I think it comes down to our kids effort," Roper said. "They stepped it up, especially here at home. We were on a streak there where we didn't beat Du Quoin for 10 years. Five in a row for us is something special.
"It's a big win for us," Roper said. "I thought for the most part we played well. We played well defensively, we played really well there. We had a some big stops and then offensively one thing we tried to eliminate were penalties and turnovers and I think we did a good job of that."
Daniel Lewis played his role as one of many Harrisburg hero's as he provided the go-ahead score with 2:57 to play in the fourth quarter, helping Harrisburg overcome a 7-6 deficit.
Lewis, who finished with seven carries for 32 yards played a limited role in Harrisburg's offense as Lewis also played on defense. For Roper however, inserting Lewis late was a move he's glad he made.
"We're playing some kids that we're using as fullbacks and halfbacks that we're also playing on defense. He's one of them, but there late in the game, we were able to put him in with some fresh legs and he got some big carries for us."
Camden Youngman led the Indian offense with 47 yards on 11 carries and came up with Du Quoin's first score of the game when he took a 10 yard pass from A.J. Smith to the house, giving Du Quoin a 7-6 lead with 2:00 to play in the second quarter.
An offensive drought plagued both clubs in the second half, while neither team was able to mount much offensively.
The Indians forced Harrisburg to turn the ball over on downs coming out of the locker room and then picked off Thompson on consecutive drives.
The flip side to that was each time Du Quoin was pinned down deep in their own territory, taking over at the 1-yard line and the 6-yard line.
Page 2 of 2 - "We had our backs against the wall down there late and offensively we couldn't get any field position," Martin said. "We couldn't get it out and didn't have anything going for us on offense to make any kind of drives.
"They were great plays, but it was tough getting out of holes like that. We made plays, but I have to give my kids credit for still playing."
Martin will step away at seasons end from Du Quoin after 26 years of service on the Indian sideline. With seven games left to go on the 2013 schedule, Martin is 247-57. He's won two state championships at Du Quoin and has finished second on four occasions with the Indians.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (326 votes).
In short: VERY TOUGH, VERY TOUGH INDEEDDate of review: February 25, 2007
In short: Wow what a race!!The most challenging race for me this year.If you love mud then todays race had plenty of that.The Gulley was a real test but well worth the challenge.Roll on next years Terminator 'Bring it on'!!!!Date of review: February 25, 2007
In short: MUDDY, MUDDY, MUDDY!!In full: Do you ever need those lovely cakes at the end! More mud than my mud bath in New Zealand last year! GR8 fun, lovely encouraging marshalls and fab organisation. Thanks for a gr8 day.......I think!! cu next yr! xDate of review: February 25, 2007
In short: This is a challenging cross-country run with lots of mud, streams and steep inclines to add to the challenge! Enjoyable and well worth it for the views, but extremely muddy! Very well organised, friendly and well marshalled.In full: This is a great run over farmland, fields, tracks and hills, but the views at the top are well worth it! Extremely tough on the legs due to the amount of mud, and windy at the top of the hills. Very well marshalled and a goodie bag at the finish with a T-shirt, Mars bar and energy gel - certainly well earned! I'd also like to thank the marshalls who were all so friendly and supporting, but also the kind man who helped pull me out of the mud right at the beginning when I fell in it! Not for the faint hearted, or to go for a PB time!Date of review: February 25, 2007
In short: The slowest 11 miles everIn full: Having done this 3 times before this was the first time that the hills were the least of the difficulties. Did anyone fall in the canal? Or sink in the rivers? And as for the mud!!!Date of review: February 25, 2007
In short: Does exactly what it says on the tin..In full: This race is great! For me, the hardest one i've done so far. Rewarding panoramic views from the exposed hilltops that are reached by slogs up ridiculous slopes. The one or two slightly muddy areas in places didn't matter thanks to the considerate organisers incorporating a shoe wash towards the end! The T-shirt asks if I'll be back - you bet. Date of review: February 25, 2007
In short: Mud, big stream, mud, walking up steep hills, mud and a wash in the river - great fun!Date of review: February 25, 2007
In short: The mud was spectacular.... In full: My slowest time ever for the 11.5 miles. If you fancy running something a bit different then I definitely recommend this one.Date of review: February 25, 2007
In short: Shedfuls of Mud, Tough Course, Harder than a very hard race that has been made even harder.In full: Train in lead boots and you will have some idea what it is like on a warm day when the rain has been coming down for weeks. Have done this in the cold and now appreciate how much harder it is when it is warm and really really muddy. No bottlenecks, just very hard running and hills to die on. Superb T-shirt, beautiful cake, showers, brilliant marshals and did I mention the mud ? Better had just in case no-one else does ;-)))Date of review: February 25, 2007
In short: They don't lie when they say mud, blood and more mud!In full: The race starts jolly enough with a gentle strole through the village...The first field you come to isn't that bad either...but then you hit the first mud bath which if your under 6ft will come up past your knees!!! This is when you realise that this isn't gonna be easy...your muscles will burn and ache with every inch that you run. The first hill is a gentle crawl on all fours which will leave you gasping for air and some medical attention! Then, of course, there is plenty more mud you can wade through before you get to crawl up two more hills! Then it all ends with a freezing cold dip or plunge into the River Avon and a sprint for the line to collect that all important 'free' t-shirt!Date of review: February 25, 2007

Looking for a Few Good WomenFormer Marine uses her toughness to take on ultra challenges
Ashley Moyer and her boyfriend, David Lister, racing to the finish at the North Face 50-miler in Bear Mountain, New York. Photo courtesy of The North Face Endurance Challenge
Just six months after Ashley Moyer, 25, of Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, finished her five-year stint in the Marines, she ran her first 100-miler. To her surprise, she took second place in the 2011 Oil Creek 100-miler in Titusville, Pennsylvania, with a time of 24:15:55. Just a couple years later, Moyer has rocketed to being a rising star in the Northeast trail-racing scene, setting female course records in all seven ultras she has run. In 2012, she returned to Oil Creek, dropping her time to a record 19:29:25.
"Ashley is not close to peaking!" says Pennsylvania's Megatransect race director Dave Hunter, 56, of Lock Haven, Pennsylvania. "She is one of the best athletes I have ever met. Mid-race, she always looks like she just jumped in and her stride appears effortless. She shows up, wins and disappears off the radar until the next race." At the 2012 26-mile Megatransect, Moyer took top female honors, setting a course record of 4:53:01.
In June, Moyer smoked Manitou's Revenge, a rugged 56-miler through the Catskills near Windham, New York (13:32:08) and in May, took down the course record in the North Face 50-miler in Bear Mountain, New York (9:01:53). In October she is running in the Oil Creek 100-miler for the third time, and hopes to break 19 hours.
But it was a convoluted path that Moyer took to competitive trail running. After high school, she joined the Marine Corps with the hopes of gaining life experience and travel opportunities. "I had grown up in a small town and felt sheltered," says Moyer. "I needed to get out of my shell and explore the world."
While no one else in her family had military experience, her brother, Kyle, joined the Army a year before she signed on. Though never deployed to any combat zones, Moyer was able to travel to Italy, Ireland, France, Saudia Arabia, Romania, Singapore and throughout the States during her tenure.

We contain the common stuff for contexts (which are containers) and other elements (methods, attributes and so on)
There's a wee trick we pull. Comment blocks can have directives that override the stuff we extract during the parse. So, we have a special class method, ::attr_overridable, that lets code objects list those directives. Wehn a comment is assigned, we then extract out any matching directives and update our object
# File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 97 def CodeObject.attr_overridable(name, *aliases) @overridables ||= {} attr_accessor name aliases.unshift name aliases.each do |directive_name| @overridables[directive_name.to_s] = name end end
Update the comment, but don't overwrite a real comment with an empty one
# File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 87 def comment=(comment) @comment = comment unless comment.empty? end
# File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 57 def document_children=(val) @document_children = val if !val remove_classes_and_modules end end
# File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 34 def document_self=(val) @document_self = val if !val remove_methods_etc end end
Default callbacks to nothing, but this is overridden for classes and modules
# File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 69 def remove_classes_and_modules end
# File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 72 def remove_methods_etc end
set and cleared by :startdoc: and :enddoc:, this is used to toggle the capturing of documentation
# File rdoc/code_objects.rb, line 43 def start_doc @document_self = true @document_children = true end
Commenting is here to help enhance the documentation. For example, code samples, or clarification of the documentation.

Topic: Deployment to production still says development environment
So after loads of work, I finally got my Rails app up using Mongrel and Capistrano. Feels good.
I haven't read much of the documentation, but I assumed the mongrel_cluster recipes do the migrations as well, but my production database still is empty.
No problem. I SSH into my production app (mollio) and rake db:migrate, only to see an error that mollio_development doesn't exist. Well, of course, because here my db is called mollio_production. So I look at my mongrel.log, and it says it's in production environment:
** Starting Mongrel listening at 127.0.0.1:8010
** Starting Rails with production environment...
So I open script console:
[current]$ script/console
Loading development environment.
=> "development"
So why does it say development? What am I missing? Is it somehow trying to load from my local machine even though I'm supposed to be working off the server -- or is it really in development?
Thanks for any help.

Ever mug a buffalo? Ever want to?Friday, February 15th, 2013
Want to compete on who can come up with the most unusual job in aviation? How about the official title of buffalo mugger? I win. Brim Aviation, based in Ashland, Oregon, with branches in Astoria, Oregon, Texas, and Arizona, uses its own helicopter crew to first shoot a bison with a net gun (no bullets, just a net), then run from the helicopter and wrestle the buffalo to the ground, rodeo style. The actual job title for that is "mugger." No, really. I saw the video. Yes, I know bison weigh 700 to 2,200 pounds because I saw it on the Internet, and the Internet is never wrong. I also saw the bison get up afterward and chase the Brim guy. There are more than 90 in one of the oldest herds in the nation, and each year these Utah residents have a blood sample taken. One by one.
The buffalo/bison had every right to attack the Brim guy. Let's say you are looking around for grass–the legal kind–and you hear this noisy big bird coming after you. You run like crazy, hear an explosion like your great grandfather told you about, and find yourself tangled in a net. This puny two-legged animal grabs your horns and humiliates you by taking you down. So you lie there through the blood sample, the DNA sample, just waiting for your chance. The net comes off and you jump up and charge…and he jumps out of the way. All the other buffalo start laughing. So next year you set up an ambush. Your buddies will attack the humans while you are on the ground. Come on back, Brim!

Isaksen crowned Champion of Champions
USA modern pentathlete Margaux Isaksen (Fayetteville, Ark.) dominated the field to emerge the 2011 Champion of Champions in Sicily, Italy on Saturday in front of a packed crowd in the picturesque central streets of Sicily.
The recently crowned Pan American Champion overcame the field of 18 champions to win by over 30 seconds ahead of a lightning quick Laura Asadauskaite of Lithuania who pulled away from Ukraine's Iryna Khokhlova to grab silver. Khokhlova held on for bronze.
Isaksen started the day by blowing away the fencing field with 27 victories, more than six better than the next competitor. A 6th place swim and only three knock downs in the ride meant she had a 30 second lead heading into the combined event. The 2008 Youth A World Champion shot consistently well to stretch her and was never in danger of losing the gold.
"I am so happy," said a delighted Isaksen about the best performance of her career. "I had a very disappointing year and to come back to win the Pan American Games and now this is unbelievable. The Champion of Champions is a fantastic concept and I hope it is here to stay."
In winning, Isaksen matched the performance of her coach Janusz Peciak who won the 1st ever Champion of Champions in 1975.
"It is so special for me to match Janusz's performance," stated Isaksen. "He is my inspiration for competing and I couldn't have done it without him."
Junior World Champion Sarolta Kovacs of Hungary placed fourth followed by Olympic champion Lena Schoneborn of Germany and world champion Victoria Tereshuk of Ukraine.
Suzanne Stettinius (Parkton, Md.) finished 17th.

U.S. Men Expecting a World League Battle with Bulgaria
B.J. Evans
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: email@example.com
ANAHEIM, Calif. (June 18, 2008) - The U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team, ranked No. 3 in the world, plays its first domestic matches of the 2008 World League this Friday and Saturday when it will face No. 4 Bulgaria at the Sears Centre Arena in Hoffman Estates, Ill.
The U.S. Men are coming off a two-match sweep of host Finland on June 13-14. U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) was pleased with his team's efforts in Espoo.
"I thought it was a good start to the tournament," McCutcheon said. "Most importantly, I thought we played a lot better the second night than the first. That's really all we're looking for at this stage."
Bulgaria is coming off a two-match sweep of visiting Spain in its first two 2007 World League matches. Although the teams are tied atop Pool C with 2-0 records, the United States leads the points ratio by .042.
Bulgaria has never medaled in World League. It finished fifth last year while the U.S. Men placed third.
"Bulgaria is very good," McCutcheon said. "We expect some tough matches this weekend. They're a strong serve and side-out team."
The U.S. Men have only played Bulgaria twice since 2004. At the 2006 FIVB World Championships, Bulgaria defeated the United States, 3-0 (30-28, 25-22, 25-21). The U.S. Men went on to finish 10th while Bulgaria won the bronze.
At the 2007 World Cup, Team USA defeated Bulgaria, 3-2 (29-27, 20-25, 28-30, 25-22, 15-12) in a match it had to win if it hoped to reach the podium. Despite the victory, the United States went on to finish fourth at World Cup while Bulgaria finished third and qualified for the 2008 Olympic Games.
Among Bulgaria's top players is 6-foot-7 Matey Kaziyski, who was the third-leading scorer at the 2007 World Cup. Bulgaria also relies on 6-7 Danail Milushev, who scored 23 points in Bulgaria's four-set win over Spain (19-25, 25-18, 25-22, 25-13).
Longtime Bulgarian veteran Plamen Konstantinov, 6-7, was not on the team's roster for its matches against Spain. He celebrated his 35th birthday on Saturday.
The U.S. Men were led by 6-5 outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) in their victories over Finland as he was officially credited with 15 points in the first match and 17 in the second. U.S. 6-8 middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) also had good matches against Finland, scoring 13 points in the first match and six in the second.
WORLD LEAGUE TICKETS: Tickets for the FIVB World League matches in Hoffman Estates, Ill. (June 20-21 vs. Bulgaria), Green Bay, Wis. (June 27-28 vs. Finland) and Bloomington, Ill.
