About the Author: Robert O. Blake serves as Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs.
I had the honor of participating in the plenary session of the U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue, a high-level, two and a half hour gathering of Indian and American senior officials. This was the first time that such a large group of Cabinet-level officials from India and the United States sat around a table to think strategically about our relations.
The diversity of the attendees and topics really showcased the breadth of our partnership. After Secretary Clinton and Indian External Affairs Minister Krishna highlighted the broad areas of our cooperation and the exceptional promise for even deeper engagement, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke discussed the doubling of our trade over the last five years and the significant potential to continue this robust growth, including in high tech trade. FBI Director Robert Mueller addressed our growing counter-terrorism cooperation, and NASA Administrator Charles Bolden reviewed the potential for greater space collaboration.
On the Indian side, Minister for Human Resource Development Kapil Sibal brought up the many new opportunities in education as the Indian Parliament considers a bill to open the higher education system to foreign investment. Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwahlia spoke eloquently of the huge urban growth that will take place in India and the important chance we can work together to help ensure that India meets those needs by taking advantage of the latest high-efficiency low-carbon technologies. Minister of State for Science and Technology Prithviraj Chavan commented on our chance to build innovation partnerships to strengthen our knowledge economies.
Others at the table brought up women's empowerment, climate change, civil nuclear cooperation, defense trade, assistance coordination and infrastructure development, among other topics.
The wide-ranging session shows that our two countries have come a long way in advancing activities that will benefit not only our two peoples but the entire world, from more accessible education to cleaner air to more productive farmers. While we have collaborated for several years on many of these items, we never had the overarching framework and the chance to benefit from the wide-ranging experiences of our leaders, breaking down stovepipes and allowing new synergies so we can take our partnership to new heights.

India is truly indispensable partner of U.S to bring change in this region for that U.S needs to strenthen India over china..because big trust deficit between china and U.S may be there whereas india (ex bloc of ex- USSR) wants to be the regional superpower at this time ,then it will advance .At the moment,it mariage of convenience between US and India.
FOR china,i would say u never get what you desrve but what you negotiate.
Khadija in Illinois writes:
Dear Sir
india does not accepts US passports from our citizens based on their ethnicity and National Origin.Like India refuses to accept US passports from US citizens who originate from Pakistan but are US citizens.
What is our policy for that when some country profiles our citizens based on their origin or ethnicity? The question is not about Visa issuance or denial. It is that every US citizen should be allowed to APPLY and use his/her US passport at all embassies of countries whose citizens can use their Passports openly at our embassies without any discrimination. We should not be profiled as we do not profile Indian nationals and treat them with respect.
Thank you
Ashim C. in India writes:
It is heartening to note that Mr. Robert Blake has mentioned so many ares of cooperation. Doubling of trade in next five years is welcome and seems achievable. One would expect this to be as equally devided between high tech exports from USA and exports of Indian services and such goods as are labour intensive. I would like to mention about housing and construction and financing of this sector in rural areas, small towns and slums in cities as a priority area. This area promises export of sustainable building material technology from USA and economic empowerment of people at grass root level and much snowballing of India economy. Needless to say it can make Indo-US cooperation very visible in India.
Palgye in South Korea writes:
Bank levy, bank levy think that certainly must be introduced. now, is appropriate and thinks a process and the method which are legitimate that the support which leads is necessary. (Fact does not care a means and a method,). Their confrontation method the disruption of policy knows, thinks about existence of governmental oneself challenge.
When the ranking ascends and to knows, when I talk what kind of and who is to read and decreases the expectation feeling rises to is glad. About interest joy existence but,
Enjoyed, to not to be thinks, became dangerously.
Thank You.
P.S All results think about India the thing of Secretary of State. Is fine. (Me ages and thinks that goes. Time as flowing, the skin becomes thick. The ability knows in flattery polyvalence to hide, endeavors)
Khadija in Illinois writes:
Ahead of External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna's visit to Beijing, India Saturday asked China to stop the practice of issuing stapled visas to Indians from Jammu and Kashmir and said Beijing should be sensitive to New Delhi's "core concern†on this issue.
"We have asked the Chinese side to do away with dual visa policy policy,†Gautam Bambawale, joint secretary in charge of China and East Asia in the external affairs ministry, told reporters here.
"This is a matter of core concern for India because it goes to the heart of our territorial sovereignty and integrity,†Bambawale said.
"We will continue to press them on this issue,†he added.
While India is obviously against Profiling of Indian nationals by any foriegn governemt when they apply for a visa, Why is India profiling US citizens based on their national origin and ethnicity? All US citziens are one and have the same rights. Why discriminate and use tactics like racial profiling while pursuing friendship with a democracy like USA where we dont profile Indian nationals at our embassies?
Thank you
Faraz J. in Virginia writes:
What Strategic Dialogue? Shame on this administration for not doing anything to stop all the jobs outsourcing to India!! It is time to remind India to follow the same environment pollution laws as factories in US has to follow or we will not import their products. I would say that Indian government should pay taxes for all the jobs moved from US to India! Enough is enough how long US citizens will have to hold the shorter end of the stick while countries like India and China bleed our economy.

I'm often asked what my last meal would be if I got to decide, and I always come back with "potatoes or a dish made with potatoes." They are a staple in my home. Unfortunately, with all the fad diets out there, potatoes have recently gotten a rap as the "bad vegetable". But did you know one 5.3 ounce potato (considered medium in size) with the skin left on contains 45 percent of the daily value of vitamin C? And that same medium potato has more potassium than spinach, broccoli or bananas? [caption id="attachment_119165" align="alignleft" width="216"] Now that you know potatoes can be good for you, and which work best where, I recommend getting your potato-fix by adding batches of soup to the weekly menu plan. The Roasted Potato Garlic Soup featured below is a favorite of mine and inspired by my Basque grandmother.�She would make a side dish of potatoes simmered in water, parsley, and enough garlic to keep a vampire away. I never tired of eating big bowls of it. Potato soup, a velvety puree of potatoes, leeks and cream, is a classic often referred to as Vichyssoise. No one can settle on where it came from, but it seems to have ties to Wales, Ireland and France. Typically the soup is served cold, but is also lovely when warm. Since I prefer warm potato soup, my Roasted Potato Garlic Soup is far from being a typical Vichyssoise.�I also make it both dairy- and gluten-free, avoiding thickeners such as flour or corn starch since the high starch content of Russet potatoes is more than enough.�To make the soup more like my grandmother's side dish, I drizzle parsley oil over the top just before serving. This would definitely be my last meal. For more from Denise Woodward, visit her prolific and delicious blog�Chez Us. Brought to you by: Relish

eBay Revisited While Waiting to Buy
eBay (EBAY) and its e-commerce business has remained a successful, American enterprise where bidders can buy and sellers can ponder the offers. When the company began in 1995 many wondered if the business model it offered would work. Today there aren't many doubters left.
Headquartered in San Jose, Calif., eBay has become a true legend in its own time. As its online site describes, "With more than 100 million active users globally (as of fourth-quarter 2011), eBay is the world's largest online marketplace, where practically anyone can buy and sell practically anything.
"..., eBay connects a diverse and passionate community of individual buyers and sellers, as well as small businesses. Their collective impact on ecommerce is staggering: In 2011, the total value of goods sold on eBay was $68.6 billion -- more than $2,100 every second."In 2012 those figures continued to go higher.
eBay just completed four consecutive earnings quarters where it surprised on the upside. No wonder shares are trading (as of Monday) slightly below its 52-week high set on Fridayat $56.66. That brings the trailing PE ratio to over 28 and the forward (one-year) PE ratio to around 17.4.
A careful look at the five-year chart of EBAY helps us see not only its recent history but also the levels which investors had outstanding buying opportunities. Since the beginning of 2012 shares have almost doubled. We see that the share price and the trailing-twelve-month revenue per share rose in tandem.EBAY data by YCharts

I recently opined in an article about "The Fear Factor" that it's tempting to think EBAY is too high and unlikely to move higher. Yet, fear and greed are not how the most successful investors in history became billionaires.
Today, in his editorial at DailyWealth Editor Steve Sjuggerud explains who is "The Best Investor of the Last 30 Years..." It's a fascinating look into the mindset of one of the best in the business.
Sjuggerud writes, "Gary Shilling might have the best track record of any investor over the last 30 years...If you had invested $100,000 in Shilling's 'big idea' 30 years ago, it would be worth over $6 million today."
Gary Shilling, according to Sjuggerud, kept his focus on his "big idea." "While most investors didn't pay attention to his big idea, Shilling was right. And he never gave up on his big idea," Sjuggerlund added. That's the way the most successful, legendary thinkers have always charted their course.

In my opinion the best way to test any oven would be to cook pizza in it. If Neapolitan is the goal I would want the hearth brought to 900F. I would then like to see the oven produce a pizza in 60 seconds or less with the top cooked without the pizza being lifted off the hearth..

Coach USA bus accident closes Route 60
Residents ask Pomfret Town Board for fracking ban
A pair of visitors to a recent town of Pomfret council meeting brought a request along with some information.
Fredonia residents Jim Wilmoth and Jonathan Titus asked the board to consider establishing a 10-year moratorium on hydraulic fracturing within town limits and to prevent water removed from fracturing sites from being treated or dumped in the town.
Wilmoth said while the Marcellus shale is a primary target in other parts of the state, locally, a rock unit called the Utica shale is more desirable for drilling for gas using the hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, method. The method employs large amounts of water combined with chemicals, which are injected at high pressures into existing rock fractures to open up the layers and force out natural gas that would otherwise be trapped.
"We need this until the technology gets better," Wilmoth stated.
Wilmoth explained research he conducted about consequences to water supplies from chemical spills on the ground in areas where fracking wells have been set up.
Titus explained fracking sites are each about a square mile in size and require many trucks to carry millions of gallons of water in and out, a variety of chemicals and large quantities of sand.
These materials, Wilmoth explained, can damage roads, and he cited municipalities in Pennsylvania where roads have been heavily damaged by trucking related to fracking, and the repairs left to taxpayers.
"The traffic to these sites is astronomical," he told the board.
Titus said because of their size and scope, millions of gallons of chemically-treated water can spill into nearby streams and contaminate the watershed. The reservoir which supplies the Fredonia water treatment plant is unprotected from surface runoff.
Wilmoth said fracking fluid which has been injected into wells is full of a variety of chemicals and difficult to treat. He explained millions of gallons of water are treated with chemicals before being injected into shale to create pressure, and the water picks up chemicals from the rock in the process. He said the water from each site is "highly variable" and "unpredictable" in what it contains because of what chemicals are first added and what chemicals the treated water extracts from rock. He explained the water is therefore difficult to treat, can cause damage to filtration systems, and may still be contaminated after treatment. Titus said the water could contain benzene, barium, strontium, bromine, radon, selenium and other chemicals and could pick up radioactive particles from the rock. He said many of the chemicals are carcinogenic. "It's a real potpourri of chemicals, and it's been a big deal in Pennsylvania to try to deal with it," Titus explained, and added in some cases, the water was dumped directly into streams.
"What's in this water? Our knowledge will increase over time, and then we can make better decisions," Wilmoth said in support of the 10-year moratorium he proposed.
Town Supervisor Don Steger said he didn't believe Fredonia's water filtration plant in the town has the capacity to treat such large quantities of water.
In addition to treatment of the water either produced locally if fracking of the Utica shale begins or trucked in from other areas, Wilmoth also expressed concerns over how much water might be extracted from the lake. If fracking is permitted in the region, Wilmoth said large quantities of water could be drawn from the lake. Steger said a business can only extract 100,000 gallons per day without a permit, but Wilmoth said companies can avoid such regulations.
"They set up names in other companies so they can take out as much as they want without a permit," he said.
Wilmoth also said he feared the Department of Environmental Conserva-tion's current regulations, which have recently been delayed for approval, are not adequate for the local region. He said the area surrounding the reservoir in Fredonia does not meet the DEC's definition of a primary aquifer, around which strict limits on fracking are placed. He said the town can exert "home rule" by establishing a moratorium.
Town Attorney Jeffrey Passafaro addressed the legality of municipalities and moratoriums on certain activities in the state. He said he has seen cases in two other towns in which "they did enact a moratorium. In both cases, the local law was upheld after it was appealed by natural gas interests," which are now on appeal at another level in the state. He added landowners wishing to lease to gas companies have sued for an appeal as well as natural gas producers.
Passafaro said passing a moratorium is also tricky to define because older, passive natural gas wells already exist all over the town. "Appeals have affirmed the local ability to zone with respect to where, but cannot regulate how, so you have to be careful," he explained.
Steger said he didn't believe the region is a likely target for natural gas companies. "It's not the Marcellus (shale). I think we're a low priority in the scheme of natural gas futures," he said, and added he wants to see what the DEC plans reveal when they are adopted.
Councilperson David Penharlow also said he was interested in reading the DEC position before making any decisions.

School's out for summer
By JULIE DUDGEON
Striders Academic Coordinator
September to June – time has flown. The books are now closed, chairs have been placed atop desks and students have spilled out of school doors in excitement over the carefree days of summer.
For Chautauqua Striders, it has been a year of challenges but also one of growth and great opportunity. Tutoring, mentoring, community and Hispanic outreach, as well as track and field athletic programs served approximately 2,000 young people in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties.
This year, Chautauqua Striders employed approximately 85 people, full- and part-time. Of those, 76 were hired to provide tutoring at 25 different sites for students in grades K-12. Assistance was also available for older individuals preparing to take their GED (General Educational Development) tests for high school equivalency diplomas; ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) military service qualification tests; TABE (Testing for Adult Basic Education) tests designed to meet pre-employment requirements; and PSAT, SAT and ACT college entrance examination tests.
Chautauqua Striders honored tutors by hosting its second annual Tutor Recognition evening at the Elk's BPOE, 263 Club in Jamestown. After a light supper, those attending were introduced and thanked by their respective academic coordinator for their extraordinary dedication to students, during what has been a transitional year in education. New York state's implementation of Common Core Curriculum standards greatly intensified subject material being taught in elementary and middle schools, in particular. Teachers, parents and tutors alike were asked to adapt to new curriculum and heightened academic expectations. High school tutors worked tirelessly to help students meet the demands of New York State Regents exams and graduation requirements.
Mentor, teacher, counselor – Chautauqua Striders tutors wore all those hats as they helped guide students through their rigorous academics with dedication and enthusiasm. For many, this was not just a job, but also a passion.
One tutor said, "It was such a humbling experience to provide the one-on-one attention and assistance that a lot of these children need. It was awesome to see how much the students enjoyed coming to Striders and actually looked forward to it, as well. They felt they were part of something which was an extremely positive experience for all."
Another said, "I am very proud to be part of such a terrific organization. I am amazed at the depth of the Striders program and the level of outreach to the community."
Finally, another offered, "The most enjoyable aspect of being a Striders tutor is the opportunity to teach. The relationship opportunity is also a plus for the student." She stated further, "When you 'unwrap' each of their (the students') gifts, they are encouraged to trust you, take risks and persevere."
Students, like Nick, said, "I wish Striders was everyday," because tutors do make a difference.
Chautauqua Striders has always placed great emphasis on having academic enrichment, mentoring, and outreach programs work together closely to make sure students succeed academically and their families receive the supportive assistance they require. Chautauqua Striders Mentoring matched youth (mentees) in grades two through 12, with caring adults (mentors) willing to volunteer their time and their friendship. Whether in a school-based or community setting, mentors were able to share their life experiences, provide direction and guidance for personal growth, and offer new experiences designed to help strengthen their mentees' self-esteem, by developing important and lasting relationships with them. Students in this program were often further referred to Chautauqua Striders tutoring or outreach programs, as necessary. Middle and high school Hispanic students new to this area received additional assistance as they transitioned to life in a different country and culture.
In an example of this collaborative effort, Chautauqua Striders Mentoring and Alternative Placement Program/Transition Team recently teamed up to supply prom dresses for young ladies. Thanks to community donations, the girls selected more than 100 beautiful gowns along with accompanying shoes and purses, at no charge. Students from Jamestown High School, Chautauqua Lake Central School, Falconer Central School, Frewsburg Central School, Maple Grove Jr./Sr. High School and Southwestern Central School participated. If beaming smiles could be considered a testament, the give-away was a huge success. Many thanks to everyone who donated dresses, shoes, and accessories and to Esquire Cleaners for providing cleaning services at no cost.
Along with its other programs, Chautauqua Striders has remained true to its roots as a track and field club for youth, by offering many options for healthy exercise, as well as competition. During the summer months, youngest athletes participate in summer development where they learn about the sport of track and field with an emphasis on having fun. Older and more experienced youth have the opportunity to refine their athletic talents and abilities through more rigorous and intensive training. With hard work and dedication, they may qualify to compete in national and Junior Olympic meets sanctioned by the USA. Track and Field Association (USATF). Finally, the Athletic Club, designed for adults, encourages regular exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Dates, times, registration forms and competition results can be found by calling David Reinhardt at 488-2203 or on Chautauqua Striders website at www.chautauqua-striders.org.
Beginning in 1979 as a simple track club whose mission was to offer a positive outlet for youthful energy, Chautauqua Striders has been transformed into an all-encompassing network, specifically aimed at enriching the lives of young people and their families. More information about upcoming events, schedules and programming can be found by visiting www.chautauqua-striders.org. Even though times have changed over the last 34 years, Chautauqua Striders will always be, "dedicated to the mentoring and guidance of youth through education, advocacy and athletics."

In front of, a little but not much, it gets in the way of working the oven. On the sides at least a place to put your beverage and a dishrag.
If you look at Craig's oven, it has two round spots, one on either side of the entry, to warm plates. He pulls the pies from the oven and puts them on the plate and serves them, and that is very handy, esp. for Neapolitan pies. I generally make Neo-politan/NY pies, so mine go on a cooling rack on the counter to the left before I cut and serve them. Different workflows.
Another thing you should put a lot of thought into is height of the hearth. If it's too high, it makes it tough to load wood and tend the fire. Too low, you will wind up with a permanent stoop from bending over to look inside. Right about breastbone level is just right, IMO.
Don't worry about those nonexistent future people! Patio level can be easily added to- much harder to take it down. Make it right for yourself first.Looks like it will be beautiful! What climate do you live in? Do you have to consider leaves and debris, snow and ice?
How about an awning? One of these things? If it's retractable, I don't think you need a permit for it.
Late to the game, but I had a 2ftx4ft stainless steel prep table added to my mobile WFO and it was a game changer. When cooking with my dutch oven, I can just take it right out of the oven and on to the prep table to check it. It's also awesome to have the space to prep things and keep my launching and retrieval peels handy. After adding the prep table, I wouldn't ever want to go back!
+1 on the prep table. Game changer. You could do something like mine out of stainless and marble. http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,18634.msg181562.html#msg181562 The cold tray is the greatest. Keeps everything cold and organized. Set-up and clean up is a breeze.

When many of us reflect on the Holocaust, the horrific gas chambers and ovens of the death camps of Auschwitz and Treblinka immediately come to mind. Yet in parts of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, there is a lesser known aspect of the terrible genocide perpetrated against Jews, Roma, and other victims of the Nazis and their allies between 1941 and 1945. During this period, death squads of German soldiers and local collaborators carried out mass executions of millions of men, women and children, leaving remains in unmarked mass graves. This so-called "Holocaust by Bullets" is the subject of a documentary produced by Yahad-In Unum.
On January 28, the State Department marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day by inviting foreign diplomats, NGO representatives, academics, and others to view the documentary and participate in a discussion.
In welcoming everyone to the event, Under Secretary Maria Otero noted, "Today is an important occasion. Each year we gather together to commemorate the victims of one of the worst tragedies in human history. Indeed, almost 70 years after the end of World War Two, we continue to honor those whose lives were brutally taken during the Holocaust because they were Jewish, Roma, or from some other group targeted by the Nazis."
I reflected on my tenure as the U.S. Ambassador to Belarus, where I saw how the legacy of this abomination still affects the entire population. It is part of the everyday experience of people living there. You do not need to go to a death camp to be confronted with the evidence of mass murder. Rather, you drive or walk past a depression in the earth and someone will say, "Oh, that is where they killed my grandparents." Before the war, large Jewish populations lived in Minsk and other cities in Belarus. They were even the majority in some cases. After the war, all but a handful of the Belarusian Jews were dead. The story was similar in the Baltics and Ukraine and in parts of the Russian Federation, all of which struggle to cope with the lasting impact this genocide has had on their communities, cultures, politics, and economies.
U.S. Special Envoy for Holocaust Issues Douglas Davidson moderated a panel discussion on reinvigorating efforts to memorialize the horrors of the Holocaust as a means to prevent such atrocities in the future. French Roman Catholic priest Father Patrick Desbois of Yahad-In Unum, described in detail the work of his organization (whose name is derived from the Hebrew and Latin words for unity) to systematically identify and document every mass execution site during World War II and, "to irrevocably refute the Holocaust deniers of today and tomorrow, to serve as a permanent warning to humanity of the dangers of genocide and to allow for the respectful remembrance of the fallen."
One of the great tragedies of the Holocaust is that the message "Never Again" was unfortunately not heeded in many parts of the world in the latter half of the 20th century. Taking active measures to make "never again" a reality, President Obama has created the Atrocities Prevention Board (APB), which helps the U.S. government identify and address atrocity threats, thus making the prevention of atrocities a key focus of this Administration's foreign policy. As the increasingly-connected international community moves into the 21st century, we must all redouble our efforts. Through such entities as the Atrocities Prevention Board, we can ensure mass murder, such as that which occurred during the Holocaust, is never repeated. We all have the power to be agents of future positive change.
Susan C. in Florida writes:
That there are countries that still deny the holocaust is beyond belief or understanding. Today we must embrace "never again" for all nations. We must recognize that terrible atrocities are happening all around the world. In Mexico, in Syria, in many African nations,and yes, even in our country as we face the shame of human trafficking. Let us say "no more" to the abuse and murder of other human beings regardless of where they live or what their beliefs may be. Let us truly honor those who have suffered and died at the hands of "mad" men and work to end these unspeakable crimes against humanity.
Molly in Maryland writes:
We must never forget.

Iam looking to buy a new car of medium size,I thought of Etios Liva but the release is postponed now please suggest me which car is best for me in terms of mileage,pick up,maintainence,space etc out of Polo,Fabia and Swift.My budget is around 5.5L
whether innova ventunrer will be launched in india can tell month approximate
The Indonesian top spec variant of Innova Crysta is Venturer.
whether innova crysta has any design changes and any updates
No, the Crysta has been launched recently and we are not expecting any design change or upgrade in the car soon.
Deciding the color is moreover a personal choice. We recommend you to consult this with your family and go with the one on which all of you agrees. Still, the Magic Black and Candy White looks awesome. :)
I am planning t buy a car - a sedan. Budget 20-23 lakhs(on road). I would be living in Kolkata. Can you suggest which make and model I should be opting for: VW Jetta or Elantra or even Ciaz or City even through they are below the price point of my budget.
All the four cars that you have shortlisted comes with two groups. Ciaz and City is from one group (which comes in 12-15 lac) and Jetta and Elantra is in a different group.
Now, there can be a good competition within the group but comparing these two groups with each other will not be good.
Taking your budget into consideration, the best comparison will be between the Jetta and Elantra. Yes, you have to compromise a bit with the mileage but the luxury feel, features and performance you will be getting is at par.
VW Jetta is well known for it classy interior and strong build quality. The car will amaze you with its performance and power delivery. Moreover, you will need to compromise on the maintenance cost and a bit of features.
On the other hand, Hyundai Elantra comes with perfect fit and finish. The exteriors are brilliant. The best thing is, it comes with an affordable maintenance and hassle free after sale services.
We took a comparison of the top model of both cars in diesel (Which will fit in your budget). Now, both the cars have different engines and have different stats of power output and torque. Jetta is on the higher side.
The Jetta is more of performance and luxury whereas Elantra is a feature rich car and has better practicality.
Rest, we would recommend you to take a test drive of both the cars before making the final decision and click here to check the detailed comparison.
What would be the colour charges for front bumper₹
Mate, we do not deal in the spare parts of the cars. Still, you can visit on our website and check an approximate idea about the prices. Click here to check the same.
It will help us serve you better content and best deals

Customer Reviews:
Rated 3.2 out of 5�by 5 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Bill Larger than I expected The golf net works well and sets up fast. The kit has a storage bag to hold all the loose parts. May 14, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5�by gwapo It's okay Had terrible instructions but nothing that would stop me from assembling it. I used all my clubs in the bag and held up pretty well for about a month of use. One day I fired a shot from a 6 iron and heard a thud on my wall 15 feet away. I looked up and there is my ball forever stuck in my patio room. Upon inspecting the net, I notice the twines are starting to come off from where the hole is. For $150 and made by Callaway, I was expecting something that will last me about 2 years of use. By myself!!! December 6, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Pin Seeker Nice Practice Set Everything you need to help fine tune your game away from the course. Net sets up fairly easy (found the instructions buried in the pocket of the nylon carry bag) though would be much easier w/ another set of hands. Net seems sturdy and good quality - something I would expect from Callaway. The hitting mat has a nice heavy, rubber base so sits on the yard nicely and doesn't fly away at impact, etc., plus I can use my own golf tee when hitting drives (vs. those fixed-height rubber tees that I hate). Ball shagger holds plenty of balls and keeps things organized. September 25, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by T Bad net terrible instructions, top stick had no were to go! July 2, 2013

My favorite quote was from one of the lawyers saying that judges and lawyers are scientifically illiterate, so someone "upstream" needs to be in charge. But I wonder who can make rules over the courtrooms.....perhaps a higher judge and more lawyers? And let's not forget that the NAS report that he so championed was authored by a judge and was full of lawyers.
kevin wrote: I think the problem with fingerprints in (defense) lawyer's minds is that it potentially ties a suspect to a scene or item. Lawyers have so many 'outs' (cross contamination being one) with DNA, trace, and qualtitative analysis that are not possible with fingerprints. You just don't have those 'outs' with fingerprints ergo these studies on confirmation bias, reproducibility, is it a true science?, did you compare everyone in the world to this print?, etc. I think Gerald posted once saying if defense really thought the print didn't belong to their client they would simply call one of the couple hundred private examiners and present that in court. But the payoff for that kind of move isn't there so it hardly ever happens. It is more productive to attack the science.

Treaty of Paris
Soon after the completion of the preliminary treaty of peace, the British government fell and a new round of negotiations started. John Jay, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and new British negotiator David Hartley revisited many of the old issues thought to have been settled. Signed on September 3, 1783, and ratified by Congress on January 14, 1784, the Treaty of Paris formally ended the Revolutionary War and established the United States as an independent and sovereign nation. Text adapted from "Rough Journal Page Documenting Ratification and Final Page of the Treaty of Paris, 1783" in the September 2008 National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) publication Social Education.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (363 votes).
In short: Excellent! In full: One of my running club buddies called it the "walk and stumble" and they weren't wrong! If you're a slower runner like me make sure you buy your cake beforehand and then just relax and enjoy!!Date of review: January 20, 2013
In short: A lot of muddy funDate of review: January 20, 2013
In short: very challenging but rewardingIn full: first timer so didn't know what to expect. excellent instructions at race start. from start to finish was very challenging, even after overcoming the brutal hills the rest of the course was a mix of shin high mud or water. a big thanks to the marshalls who encouraged all the way and all the ladies for the hot drink and cakes. organisation brilliant. will hopefully be back next year.Date of review: January 15, 2013
In short: CALNE Vixens and Julie LAST PLACE MARSHALLIn full: This was our first time and I think we underestimated, or didn't do our homework, the route. We ran, walked (alot) and laughed a lot. The scenery is stunning and he course is challenging to say the least, mud, water, hills, more hills, more mud.... Our time was not a PB! by anyones standard, but what fun.Thank you to all the organisers and marshals (especially Julie) and oh those wonderful wonderful cakes.Date of review: January 15, 2013
In short: Hill, mud, hill, more mud, hill, big hill, mud, puddle, hill, cake! :-)In full: Fantastic race, very welcoming to the independent and novice runner and challenging for club runners alike. It's a rather hilly course but don't let that put you off, all of them are runnable (except one!). Can get muddy in places if it's been raining like this year (2013) so be prepared!Great organisation, great route, great hills (except one) and not to forget the great cakes but be quick as they go fast!Date of review: January 14, 2013
In short: Bring on the mud and hills!In full: Another year, another brilliant Rough n Tumble race. plenty of course preparation (rain) the day before, the weather was absolutely glorious for race, beautiful views from the tops of the hills. the hills are as hard as ever, although the sticky rather than slippery mud made the going a bit easier. I expected it to be wetter, but there were plenty of puddles and mud around to make it interesting, it was much squishier than last year! The cake selection was awesome, and for the slower runners, the ladies were keeping aside cake bought before the race. The marshals were all lovely, and happily shouting encouragement, and joking about upcoming hills.Overall, a really well organised race over some beautiful parts of Wiltshire. I hope to be back next year.Date of review: January 14, 2013
In short: Wiltshire Countryside at its bestIn full: If you like multi terrain races then this is a classic and this years weather set it up brilliantly. The weeks of rain meant that the going was 'good to soft' but the sun shone on us all the way round. If Milton Lilbourne had hot showers, this could be my favourite race ever but it's well up there with The Exmoor Stagger, The Terminator and Race the Train.Date of review: January 14, 2013
In short: Fantastic run in the countryIn full: A well oiled run, through lovely countryside.Friendly, and one for a challengeDate of review: January 14, 2013
In full: Never found myself laughing hysterically whilst up to my shins in thick mud. Wading through knee deep icy mud & sludge brought tears to my eyes, but well worth it. Everyone very friendly and always a fellow runner on hand to pick you up if you slip in the mud. Only disappointment was that there was no cake left at the end :(Date of review: January 14, 2013
In short: Gruelling 10+ miles. The ultimate challenge 100%In full: Should be renamed the "Tough n Tumble"Great Race, great views, gear organisation, great cakes, what more do you want best race ever. 100%Date of review: January 14, 2013

Comments about Learning Resources Primary Science Horseshoe-Shaped Magnets, Set of 6:
My 4 yr old is fascinated with magnets. I dislike party favor goody bags full of junk, so for his birthday, I gave one of these magnets to each child instead of goody bag. They aren't the strongest magnets around and of the 18 I bought, some were stronger than others, but they are pretty cheap so I think the strength is acceptable. I have heard from many parents that their kids love the magnet.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

They have a version of this oven that is 120v with 1800 watts for the same price. I decided to install a new 240v circuit and get the higher wattage version and I'm glad I did.
Yes, I'm glad you got the wiring upgrade...http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,23599.msg240235.html#msg240235
I've been using the non-stick pizza pans I picked up at Kohl's lol.
Yeah, the 120V is a very expensive paper weight.So, just to confirm, you're going from baking in a pan, without a stone, to baking in a pan, on a stone. Is that correct?
hey, watch out for those non stick pans at anything above 500 degrees. They supposedly off-gas some really nasty stuff at higher (pizza making) temperatures. Also... if im going to use a pan im definitely jumping at the chance to be able to use a little oil on the bottom of the pizza. Such a great flavor/texture. Of course, you could say thats dangerous in a another way I guess (clogged arteries!) So feel free to take my opinion with a grain of salt. Sorry to preach and good luck!

Edwards Delivers State Of The County Address; Taxes, Lake, County Facilities Among Topics Discussed
MAYVILLE – Big things could be happening in Chautauqua County in the near future.
County Executive Greg Edwards delivered his State of the County address during Wednesday's legislature meeting. In the address, he reviewed the progress that has been made in the county since he stepped into the county executive position in 2006. He also outlined six items that are already under way in order to move toward a better future for the county.
Edwards gave three examples of significant events only Chautauqua County has been able to accomplish over the last seven-and-a-half years.
"No other county in New York state, not one of the other 61 counties, has achieved what Chautauqua County did this year when we merged the Department of Social Services and the Department of Health into one department called Health and Human Services," Edwards said. "This consolidation was so unique that the state had to give us a special permission to undertake this merger."
Additionally, Edwards emphasized that no other county, or even municipality in the northeastern United States, has accomplished what Chautauqua County has through the efforts of the Chautauqua County Planning Department and its partners.
"This year, as a result of the professional work of Bill Daly, Mark Geise, Jeff Diers and others, we were successful in convincing the Army Corps of Engineers to invest their own dollars in the Submerged Aquatic Vegetation Management Plan for Chautauqua Lake," Edwards said. "This federal agency agreed to do this because our work was so professional and effective that they are going to use our plan as the model for all lakes in all of the North Eastern United States on how to deal with invasive weeds."
Finally, Edwards highlighted that taxes in the county have decreased over the last seven-and-a-half years. He said that revenue from property tax, sales tax, mortgage tax and Department of Motor Vehicle fees are more than $3.5 million less this year than they were in 2006.
Edwards also encouraged legislators to sell the Chautauqua County Home, which he has spent more than a year pursuing.
"I am confident that I can develop a county budget for next year, 2014, that will have no increase in the property tax or sales tax rate, if the legislature votes tonight to sell the County Home," he said. "In this case, either we win another battle or become the enemy to our constituents. There is not one single taxpayer in our county who would have preferred to have their taxes increased over the last seven-and-a-half years as opposed to the tax decrease that has been delivered."
Looking toward the future, Edwards addressed the Sherman Department of Public Facilities shop. He revealed during his address that he has received the commitment of the village and town of Sherman to enter into a professional analysis of the collective highway efforts, to determine if it is possible to maintain the same or deliver an improved quality of service by sharing a single facility.
"This effort is focused on securing a grant to fund the independent analysis to be presented to municipalities," Edwards said. "As a result, the maintenance crew that is currently reporting to the Sherman shop is expected to continue to do that throughout this next construction season.
Edwards also addressed the Dunkirk Airport, revealing that there is an effort under way to market the airport for sale to a private entity, which he said would eliminate the county's costs for operating the airport. This would then allow the county to focus on improving the Chautauqua County Airport.
Additionally, Edwards said he has begun working to create a smoke-free environment for workers and visitors to all county operations. He said he has already begun addressing the issue with various county committee groups as well as Kitty Crow, budget director and health insurance administrator for the county.
"I will continue these discussions with management, union leadership and members from all departments and all locations of county government to join the over 200 municipalities in the state of New York who have adopted tobacco-free outdoor area policies or ordinances," Edwards said. "Public support in New York state for prohibiting smoking in outdoor areas is strong."
Also discussed was the county's partnership with the Seneca Nation of Indians, and the proposed outlet mall on Seneca property.
"It is projected that this development will create over 750 permanent jobs and over 300 construction jobs," Edwards said. "We have a proven record of success in finding ways to promote joint efforts to improve the job opportunities and economy for both our Sovereign Nation neighbors and our own residents, and I am confident that we will see this project go forward in the next 12 months."
The fifth item outlined by Edwards were two efforts that are under way, which he says will have dramatic impact on the lake. The first effort involves an organization that has been formed to pursue the development of a management organization to be the single point of direction for remedial activity on the Chautauqua Lake Watershed. The second deals with new mandates imposed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
Finally, Edwards outlined a north county water project.
"The most important municipal infrastructure project to be undertaken in the last 100 years has begun in Chautauqua County," Edwards said. "A north county water district has proceeded under the leadership and commitment of the Chadwick Bay Regional Development Corporation."
He continued to say that a study was completed in 2009, which analyzed the municipal water systems of the northern part of Chautauqua County. The study identified the challenges in these operations. An effort is under way to improve the process, quality and capacity, as well as reduce costs of delivering water to the people and businesses in approximately nine municipalities.
Edwards ended his State of the County address by promising to continue to find ways for businesses, friends and family to thrive in Chautauqua County.
"I invite everyone here to join in this worthy effort," he said.

While my hope was that the boxer brief would avoid chaffing, I was saddened when on the first run in them (6 miles) they were riding up on mile 2. Had to continually pull down both sides of the inner thigh every couple of minutes once they were wet with sweat.

Expert Q & A Answers About sexual response and bipolar disorder
I have bipolar disorder and the medication erases my sexual desire. How can I get it back?
I am a 35-year-old woman in a very fulfilling and loving relationship. I have bipolar disorder and take several medications daily. But these drugs have erased any sexual desire, decreased the feeling of sexual stimulation and made achieving an orgasm a task rather than a pleasure. I don't think decreasing my dosage is a good idea, but how do I get around this lousy side effect? I don't want a sexless life!

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In full: Very challenging course, steep hills and very undulating throughout. First time for me. Extremely well organised, directional signs, mile markers clearly visible. Crowd support amazing, marshalling very good, excellent water stations with bottles given out and not cups of water, MUCH better idea. Friendly event and well supported. ONLY negative is parking, directed to one tiny car park, (full) had to find parking along a near by road. Results instant. As an experienced runner I found this a challenging course and scenic course. May do it again. Good for endurance training.Date of review: October 5, 2014
In full: Where were the mile markers? My only criticism, to what was otherwise a very well organised and marshaled event. Description should say 'Hilly', rather than 'Undulating' in my opinion. Biggest medal yet! Prompt race results and useful pre-race emails. I will do this event again but do some hill training beforehand!Date of review: June 24, 2013
In short: Very well Marshalled, nice and friendly and a scenic run. Some very steep hills though, recommend some hill training beforehand.Date of review: May 20, 2013
In short: Challenging hills and steep climbs. Very good organisation and friendly marshalls. Distance markers should be in MILES NOT KM. Some warning about distance to the finish would be helpful.Date of review: December 5, 2012
In short: Well organised and supported. New location of the start was an improvement, although some tight turns and a bit congested during the loop round the houses. Finish was well organised, with medals, water and bananas being given out. Date of review: March 23, 2011
In short: Well organised, established event. Lots of supporters en route.Date of review: March 15, 2009

In my unending quest to make infants laugh, I have discovered a foolproof strategy. Show a bored or itchy child a creative mismatch that is obviously illogical. Feed a toy car to a teddy bear. Have a serious-looking uncle (that is where I usually come in) distort his face, make funny sounds or, if desperate, stand on his head. Silly juxtapositions guarantee laughter.
In the adult world of things more serious, anomalies and mismatches often produce frustration and alarm, not giggles. I have come close to tears in recent months thinking about two instances where incongruous things come to be mixed together far too tightly for comfort.
The first regrettable case study is about money and politics. Although this is by no means the first election cycle in which the influence of huge spending on political advertisements threatened to distort the campaign, we have truly crossed a threshold. The Supreme Court decision in 2010 in the Citizens United case unleashed a torrent of cash from outside contributors to "super PACs," which tried mightily to buy this past election.
But the biggest spenders had little to show for their investments this time around. Remarkably, most of the candidates who received the strongest support from super PACs went down to defeat. Post-election media coverage marveled at their losing streak. Perhaps the big donors overplayed their hand and sparked a backlash, as the electorate appears to have resented the barrage of negative ads. Exit polls suggest that Americans consulted primarily their own policy preferences, rejecting the influence of money and the attention it buys.
That is the conventional reading of the 2012 election, anyway, and we would do well collectively to hope that this interpretation is accurate. Strong voter backlash would send a signal that might deter or alter objectionable tactics of the super wealthy as they seek to influence the political process. If the strategy of flooding the airwaves turns out to be a waste of money, then maybe a more rational politics lies ahead.
But I am not thoroughly convinced that we have indeed turned the corner. Perhaps political operatives like Karl Rove, bankrollers like George Soros and the casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and shadowy organizations like American Crossroads, Priorities USA and the National Rifle Association will merely seek more effective tactics to impose their will through smarter (if not greater) spending.
Stay tuned for the next round of this high-stakes game. Whether or not we have actually reached the limits of money and its influence on politics, this flood of cash is surely corrupting. Any decent society would curb the influence of money on its politics and impose serious regulations on campaign finance, like greater disclosure requirements. Although the Harvard University philosopher Michael Sandel treats more colorful abuses in his new book What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets, elections and political influence top the list of items that money must never be able to purchase. The power of big money in politics must be restrained.
A second case study comes from Germany and involves church revenue and taxation, two other things that simply do not belong together. The past few months have witnessed a new controversy regarding the longstanding arrangement of the Kirchensteuer, a tax system whereby most revenue for the support of churches and other religioius groups comes from taxes collected by the state.
Among the problematic aspects of this mixing of church and state is that it creates a perverse incentive for believers to renounce their religious affiliation in order to lower their tax liability. In September the German Bishops' Con-ference reacted to mass defections from the government's religious registry by announcing that German Catholics who do not pay the tax will be denied access to participation in the sacraments and other aspects of church life.
It is impossible to predict the outcome of this heartbreaking turn of events. Even experts in church-state relations are unsure what would constitute a just policy. But clearly, nobody should have to pay to pray.
In both these cases—the anomalous juxtaposition of money and politics here and of church and state in Germany—contemporary actors are obliged to clean up complex and messy inherited situations. In each case, it is up to us today to stand up for the highest principles and work out reforms that will correct mistakes of the past.

If I understand correctly the action of the German bishops in refusing the sacraments to those who do not pay the church tax in their country, they are essentially behaving like a trade union, defending the closed shop by saying that if you want the benefits of membership (union or church), you should pay for them. It would be interesting to know what Catholic politicians who support right-to-work laws (let's pick the name of Paul Ryan out of a hat) think about this German action. Are the German bishops right or wrong?
It's unfortunate that this whole issue should come up at the moment when much of Germany is preparing for the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther's presentation of his 95 theses in 1517. You don't have to be much of a Reformation historian to remember the infamous peddling of indulgences by Johann Tetzel. If indeed "elections and political influence top the list of items that money must never be able to purchase," should we not add access to power in our churches as well?
If some of the candidates receiving the strongest support from Political Action Committees (PAC) went down to defeat, that does not imply voters reject money and politics. The real money in politics is not the pennies poured in resulting from the Citizens United decision. The real money that voters seek is supplied by other taxpayers. Politicians win office by legalizing this theft. Thus the hew and cry for more money from the rich that were enriched by many of the same subsidies going to the middle class.
This mixed message of money and politics can be muted by a free society that minimizes the intrusion of government, thus making it more transparent and accountable. Likewise, the Gordian knot of church and state entanglement can be cut by minimalism. For example, the church in Germany should resist temptation and eschew the subsidy obtained by force from taxpayers. Instead, the church could consult the bible about the words of Christ concerning giving to Caesar his coin and to God the things of God. Perhaps a voluntary tithe. Christ was not big on coercion. He left that to Caesar.
Among the problematic aspects of the US Party system is that it creates incentives for politicians to abandon their theological, philosophical or moral beliefs for 30 pieces of silver. Let's talk of Mitt Romney's "Damascene Conversion" to Pro-Life, and Bob Casey's 100% NARAL approval rating (same with Pascrell D-NJ who was Pro-Life when Mayor of Paterson NJ).

6 easy tricks guaranteed to keep you on track with your resolutions.
It�s a common refrain: People embark on their New Year�s resolutions with gusto and zeal, determined that this will be the year they shape up, eat better, save more money or finally kick their smoking habit to the curb. But within a matter of weeks, determination wanes and resolve crumbles. Gym memberships collect dust; savings go down the drain; cigarettes are lit up anew. What gives? Why are we so apt to slip back into our old ways? Are resolutions doomed to fail, or is something else impeding us from attaining our goals? �A lot of times, I think people bite off more than they can chew,� says Dr. Elizabeth Lombardo, psychologist, TEDx presenter and best-selling author of A Happy You: Your Ultimate Prescription for Happiness. �They set these lofty goals, but they don�t know the proper way to accomplish them.� Another barrier to success, Dr. Lombardo adds, is our desire for instant gratification. We want to lose weight, and we want to lose it now. But it doesn�t quite work like that. Making a significant lifestyle changes requires a good deal of patience, commitment and determination�lots of it. �When we don�t immediately see progress, we tend to get frustrated and give up,� Dr. Lombardo notes. Want to make this the year you stay true to your New Year�s resolutions? These 6 easy tips from Dr. Lombardo are guaranteed to help you keep your eyes on the prize. 1. Start simple. Don't set the bar too high, Dr. Lombardo warns. It�s better to focus on small, attainable goals rather than on big, lofty goals. In other words, if you want to lose 50 pounds, aim to lose 5 pounds first. �When you break it down, it seems more achievable,� says Lombardo, who recently teamed up with�Weight Watchers�to launch�Simple Start, an uncomplicated, straightforward,�two-week starter plan�designed to jump-start weight loss.��You get started; you get on the right path; you start to lose some weight; and then you realize, �Wow, I really can do this.�� 2. Be realistic. �If you have never been to the gym before, don�t have the expectation that you�ll go 5 times every week,� Lombardo notes. �You�re setting yourself up for failure.� Work within your lifestyle and find a 3. Make a game plan. Making a resolution without formulating a plan of attack is like taking a road trip without a map. Without a concrete strategy, you�re bound to lose focus. �It�s really important to have a specific behavioral pathway in terms of how you are going to accomplish your goals,� Dr. Lombardo says. �How are you going to exercise? What are you going to eat? How are you going to save the money?� For example, if you�re on a diet, this means creating weekly meal plans and grocery lists to ensure that you don�t cave to impulse purchases at the store. 4. Don�t be �all or nothing.� It sounds counterintuitive, but being a perfectionist can actually jeopardize your goals, Dr. Lombardo says. �I�ll have clients who are trying to lose weight. If they cave and eat 1 cookie, they figure, �Oh well, I already blew it�I might as well have the whole plate,�� she says. If you momentarily stray from your goals, don�t dwell on your mistakes. Just pick yourself back up and keep plugging away. 5. Reframe your thinking. Nothing squanders motivation faster than feeling deprived. Whenever you are making a significant lifestyle change, it's inevitable that there will be a sense of loss and sacrifice, which is why it's important to reframe your cognitive thinking. �Instead of focusing on what you can�t have, focus on what you will�have. Focus on the results that you want,� says Dr. Lombardo.�So if you�re trying to lose weight, don�t fixate on the negatives of dieting�such as not being able to eat certain foods. Instead, �Focus on the fact that your body is going to look better, you�re going to be healthier and you�re going to sleep better at night,� Dr. Lombardo suggests. 6. Be positive. �Happiness is a mindset�it�s how we view the world,� Dr. Lombardo says. �We often think that success will bring happiness, but happiness leads to success. Research shows that happier people perform better at work, have more fulfilling marriages, and so forth.� So when the going gets tough, shift your perspective and think about the positives. �Focusing on happiness will help you get to where you want to be.� This article originally appeared as on Spry Living

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (140 votes).
In short: Fantastic event that keeps you smiling despite the pain of 26.2 milesIn full: Only my second marathon but one I'd relly like to do again. We were really lucky with the weather but what topped it all was the excelent organisation and sheer enthusiasm from all the marshals,cadets and volunters. By the time I passed the water point at mile 24 they must have been there for a good 5 hours or so but still had loads of support and encouragement.The hill at 17.5 miles is a bit of a killer but you get the benefit of an easier last mile to finish.Exiting the Queensway tunnel is worth the entry fee alone!Great city, wonderful day!Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Exactly what a marathon should be likeIn full: Great course, fantastic support and amazing sense of community combined with first class organisation.A big, big difference in comparison to my only other marathon to date, which was Manchester last year - which is exactly what a marathon SHOULDN'T be like.Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: First Marathon-emotional & enjoyable!In full: A special day, good support, good weather, flat course & well organised.Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: I loved it. First time at anything beyond half marathon as I'm more a 10k runner but this was immense. In full: The route is very well though out, with the first half very relaxing as you start in the park, hit the coastline and take in a nice gentle breeze. The tunnel was epic and even though this is where my knees started to demand walking the drums in particular but all of the supporting from spectators and runners alike was much more then I expected and definitely helped me get home.I did this for charity and am in bits now but I imagine if I did do a marathon again i'd be happy to do this one.Date of review: October 15, 2012
Date of review: October 15, 2012
In full: This was a first marathon so can't compare but it all appeared fantastically organised for something on such a large scale.The spectators, volunteers et al were wonderful and wonderfully encouraging when I was flagging...that Hill on Upper parliament...The scenery was magnificent, the drummers coming out of the tunnel perfectly placed to draw you on to strive a bit harder...definitly do it again. Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Iconic ...........In full: Fantastic course, great atmosphere. The scenery is wonderful, coastal views, urban townscape, iconic architecture and beautiful rural outlook in Sefton Park. For sheer diversity this marathon comes highly recommended.Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Very special courseIn full: especially liked the way how the course was Effectively like doing 2 very different half marathons back to back, with the very unique tunnel part breaking up the courses. The drums coming out of the tunnel were inspired and really got the blood pumping.1st half of the course was very scenic when you got to Brighton prominade, and the nice sea breeze kept you cool. 2nd half was stunning running through the city whilst the heartbreak hill was challenging yet very rewarding once you reached the top. Sefton park seemed to go on forever, but then the file 1.5 miles is mostly downhill and carried me over the line. Will defintly be back next year.Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: one that you will never forgetDate of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Amazing event, brill organisation, glorious views, great support and perfect weather thrown in too!Date of review: October 15, 2012
