With her sophomore album, Commotus, Barcelona pop luminary Lucrecia Dalt crafts a surrealist landscape borne by the inexorable scope and sand-swept surfaces of geologic time.

"Commotus is a Latin word which means "agitated", "moved" As far as the music goes, my motivation comes from the necessity to create specific sensations, moods and from there sometimes pictures or an specific situation." - Lucrecia Dalt
Today, we seem to have two branches in the school of experimental pop. One branch privileges object-hood, richness of surface, and mass-hallucinatory quotation. The other (much less celebrated) branch seeks to recapture authenticity in the form of a highly personal hallucination of music history.
With her sophomore full-length, Lucrecia Dalt follows the latter branch as far as it seems to go. She leaps into a surrealist landscape with stunning abandon, eschewing the comparatively safe tropes and song structures of her previous work. And she charts a surprisingly inventive and rewarding territory in the process. Much as it is with her newfound contemporaries at HEM Berlin, for Dalt, solitude and assemblage (of sound, genre, musicology, technique) is an exploratory zone steered toward the inner universe. To follow the music, one must be prepared to make this trip as real as sound itself.
Themes of agitation and disturbance, cumulative, impending and scalable, propel Commotus, and create a framework for understanding its emotional spectra. The music lives in the contradiction between having time to reflect on the inevitable, and the irrevocability of its outcome.
Dalt, who is a civil engineer with a specialty in geotechnics, knows that motion on a geologic time scale can be the most poignant analogy to the interminable struggle between self-awareness and sea change.
The long-awaited, groundbreaking, "pop" album by Michael Pisaro, in stunning 24bit and vinyl editions.

"Following Alain Badiou, we might say that an entirely secular resurrection occurs when an idea that appears to be dead is taken up with a new impulse, possibly for different ends. The tombstones take tiny fragments of old and not-so-old songs and put them into an experimental music situation, introducing them to a kind of chaos, where the arrangement of the written out material is up for grabs.
In June of 2009 we took a group of musicians to Studio Paradiso in San Francisco, made on-the-spot arrangements of the songs and recorded them, mostly in one or two takes. I selected performances with this question in mind: Did the song happen?" - Michael Pisaro
This presents an exhilarating challenge in a culture already saturated by hallucination, paradox, and shadowplay. Each "tombstone", as these tracks are called, is literally a "sampled" bit of structure, tuning, lyricism, beat or phrasing; a mystery moment sourced from perhaps, The Beatles, DJ Screw, Bob Dylan or UGK, to name a few. (The actual sources are a closely guarded secret, but in some cases not hard to guess.)
Pisaro distills the archetype of sampling into a fragment of intention, the groundwork of a sound, and ultimately, a cultural techne at once beyond the reach, and at the origin of the act of editing. Or in other words, it's the knowledge-seeker's paradox in music: While it is not possible to know all there is in creation, it is quite possible to distill the elegant, simple processes at its heart. With this distillation, Pisaro attempts to freeze one curious tension after another, in which the voice (or the archetype of the voice) is shaken out of a field of interferences, and made to speak as if in song.
In the band, electronics are conspicuously absent (but not forbidden). Two electric guitars (played by Grier and Pisaro) appear. Otherwise, Tombstones relies on a rather economical spread of acoustic instruments and percussion, some conventional, some not-so-conventional. The pulsating drones of harmonium (Tashi Wada, Julia Holter) and e-bow guitar anchor the field with unwavering strings (Cassia Streb, Laura Steenberge, Laena Myers-Ionita) and flute (Kelly Coats) performed without a hint of vibrato. Percussionist Rob Esler offers a surprising range of naturalistic (sometimes eerily synthsiser-like) performances that aim for halo more than punctuation.
The effect will be familiar to those who frequently listen to like-minded music whose focus is on unmediated experience of the subtlest timbres. However, in Tombstones' zoomed-in context, a double-image is generated: A face in lucidity and a face in suspense. Suspended, as it were, between exhilaration and anticipation, vocalists Janet Kim, Julia Holter, Laura Steenberge and Lisa Tolentino each approach their performances in unique ways.
An absorbing look at Ariel Rosenberg's early musique concrète epic, Thrash and Burn.
36 Tracks, 90 Minutes
Edition of 500 downloads
+250 4-cassette box sets
"As with stored memories one has acquired early in life, Thrash and Burn survives for me less as a finished piece of music in/itself or even a moment captured in time; more a catalog of lifetimes, each piece unique and unnamed, together they recall glimpses of forgotten future-pasts; in cosmology, as one peers ever deeper into the void, first beyond the fixed population density of stars nestled in a 'suburb' at the outer edge of our galaxy, into an evermore all encompassing blackness surrounding a thin lane of galaxies, one heads off in one direction, floating along a lonely string of Christmas lights which recede with the distance. Much further downstream, a giant wall of light scaffolding fades into view. That is destiny's orphan multiverse inhabiting a single frame in its infancy. In time, we would transcend it. From where we stand our footsteps recede and fade into the darkness. But our beginnings are not lost; for someone standing off and above our horizon, in a human ear much more young, the secret of our coming of age shall be preserved revealed and discovered yet once again...." - Ariel Pink, November 2012
Thrash and Burn (short for "Ariel Rosenberg's Thrash and Burn: Pre) dates from a time when Ariel Rosenberg, then a few years from turning "Pink", first proclaimed himself a "20th Century Composer", without a trace of irony in his voice. Appropriately, this early work takes the form of a musique concrète epic forged from Rosenberg's late-90's faux-primitif, garage-punk, and tape-loop experiments.
At 94 minutes and 36 tracks, Thrash and Burn displays the symphonic ambitions of his genre-devouring pop saga, Haunted Graffiti, but with little in the way of fastidious album-oriented constructions. Rather, Thrash and Burn is a free-form tape ramble that uses gauzy atmospherics to strike up a wicked dialogue with the likes of Rosenberg's non-pop influences like Iannis Xenakis, Pierre Schaeffer and Luc Ferrari. (In particular, Schaeffer's "Symphonie pour un homme seul" seems to get plenty of nods here.)
Thrash and Burn was discovered in 2005, in an ankle-deep pile of cassettes in Rosenberg's Beverly Hills flat. After an initial reconstruction attempt, Thrash and Burn became a 4-cassette box set for the inaugural release of Human Ear Music. Similarity with unreleased HEM archive recordings place Thrash and Burn to between late 1997 and 1999. The Wikipedia page for Thrash and Burn places it in 1998.
Thrash and Burn was remastered in September 2012 in Berlin, Germany. The final master was brought up to 24 bit resolution, prior to being dynamically and tonally balanced on an Apogee Rosetta and two solid-aluminum monoblock amps.
Kiev, Ukraine based prodigy Bruegel, issues a minimalist manifesto for post-lo-fi sound art.
6 Tracks, 17 Minutes
Edition of 500 downloads
+ 250 cassettes
"I was always a devoted listener, and I never thought that someday I would write my own music, in spite of the fact that I was crazy about some melodies that were born in my head. But I tried to make one and I really enjoyed it. I took the name Bruegel, because I like works of Peter Bruegel the Elder. I like the atmosphere and the subjects of his paintings. Also I like how Bruegel is pronounced in German. What about the process of making music? I record some interesting sounds and my piano pieces, make loops and samples from folk music, and mix it with simple audio editors."
Brief, brooding, understated, and delicately framed, these debut pieces by the gifted 18 year-old Kiev producer, Valeria Sapega, make a compact manifesto for post lo-fi sound art. Bruegel seems to distill cinematic still-images from the cuttingrooms of her contemporaries. But these small pieces have an economy of means that matches classicism with pathos, and recalls turn-of-the-millennium masterpieces from the experimental ambient scene.

The number of people connected to power is set to increase in the future following a study for the implementation of small hydropower projects in the country, under the Rural Energy Agency (REA).
Completion of the study would enable the government to execute electricity projects especially in rural areas where over 86 percent of Tanzanians do not have access to power.
A statement issued by REA in Dar es Salaam over the weekend said the World Bank has issued USD 22.88m credit to the government, part of which will be used for the study.
The agency has announced tender for provision of consultancy services to carry out the job.
REA through its rural energy fund is intended to provide capital subsidies to buy down the cost of energy services and thereby reduce the risks to project developers envisioned to include communities, companies, local governments and others that are ready and capable of investing in the provision of modern energy services in rural areas.
The statement said whereas Tanzania has plentiful natural gas, coal, hydropower, solar and biomass resource potential, it has one of the world's lowest levels of electricity consumption per capital.
Considerable scope exists for accelerating electrification to meet the growing demand especially in the rural areas through off-grid solutions, according to the bank.
Investment opportunities exist for developing hydropower dams, solar photovoltaic systems, biomass based co-generation in sugar, wood, and tea factories to provide electricity, the statement said.
Tanzania's power sector is dominated by the national utility, Tanzania Electric Supply Company Ltd (Tanesco).
Total installed generation capacity is 1219 MW, from which hydropower comprises 561 MW and thermal 658 MW.
According to the Ministry of Energy and Minerals more investments are required in the sector to meet the projected growth demand.
Currently investment opportunities exist in the energy sector rural electrification are exploration of petroleum; generation, transmission and distribution of electricity, development of new and renewable energy resources and promotion of energy efficiency.
The rural energy projects developed with the facilitation of the agency will ultimately be owned and implemented by the private sector, NGOs and conservation initiatives.

Fishermen came from all over BC and northwestern Washington to fish the Cheakamus, Squamish and Ashlu rivers for Salmon, Steelhead and Char. Today, people are still coming to these rivers for the fishing, so why not give them something to relate to? Fergie's Cafe it is!

- When the Minnesota state government shut down in 2011, Youth Community Connections (YCC) and Youthprise secured continued funding for the summer food program when funding for other state programs was being withheld. This success ensured children and youth could continue to access food through their summer programs.
- YCC published Supporting Youth Success, a policy report that aims to align and connect learning opportunities in the classroom with those in the community. This framework sets a vision for partners of the statewide alliance and provides a strong foundation for the work of Youthprise.
- YCC, and now Youthprise, convened the Youth Funders Forum, which brings together public, private, corporate and community funders to support quality programs and practices.
- YCC was one of nine applicants nationwide awarded a grant to host a Mayoral Summit in 2012.
Current Projects and Initiatives:
Youthprise is working with local communities to build their capacity to provide high-quality learning opportunities in the community and the classroom. The goals of this pilot are to build champions for youth and learning beyond the classroom, build public will in support of learning that takes place in the community and expand knowledge about the benefits of investing in quality learning beyond the classroom. This work is taking place in the five communities in the first year and a core part of Youthprise's strategic investments is a plan to invest in additional communities in 2012-13:
- City of St. Paul.
- City of Minneapolis.
- Cities of Brooklyn Park and Brooklyn Center.
- Cities of Mankato and North Mankato.
- Minnesota's 11 Tribal Nations.
- Youthprise is working with public agencies and private, corporate and community foundations to build support for quality practice and programs.
- With support from the National League of Cities and numerous local partners, Youthprise is organizing a Mayoral Summit in 2012 to build new champions for learning beyond the classroom among mayors and school board members across the state. The Mayoral Summit will highlight the successes and lessons learned from the community-capacity building pilots and utilize the Supporting Youth Success report as a lens for discussion.
- Youthprise is working with partners in Minnesota's Statewide Afterschool Alliance to monitor public policy developments at the state and federal level, develop our own legislative priorities, build relationships with the Governor's office and the newly established Children's Cabinet and mobilize our statewide network to advocate with elected officials for afterschool programs and policies.
- Youthprise is supporting the development of a statewide youth council and municipal youth councils to involve youth in advocating for policy and systems changes, including a Youth Day at the Capitol in March 2012.

Heat is Hot |
| Print | |
Written by Roxy Munro |
Wednesday, 21 July 2010 00:00 |
While many people are obsessed with cooling off on hot summer days, I relish the heat. As someone who is perpetually cold, the hot weather is my utopia. For me, being warm is the ultimate state of comfort. And, since I'm more comfortable, I naturally feel sexier. After all, I'm not goose bumpy, my hands aren't frigid, and I find it that much easier to slip off my socks and get totally bare. Being warm is good for my libido. I don't think it's any coincidence that words and ideas commonly used to describe sex and sexual passion speak to all things heat related: sizzling, hot, "spice up your sex life," "turn up the heat," and burning desire, to name a few. Throughout time, passion and fire have been emblematic of each other in various cultural contexts. Heat and sex are clearly connected. While sex often generates heat for those involved -- our body temperature rises during orgasm, and sex can make us work up a sweat -- heat can be introduced into sex play to further ignite the senses. By adding some warmth to your sexual activities, you can dramatically heighten arousal, raise skin sensitivity, and trigger the release of feel good endorphins. Whether you're alone or with partner(s), warming lubricants, hot water, and hot wax are all relatively accessible ways to heat up your sex life. Warming lube seems to have become more popular over the past few years with more varieties stocked in drugstores and in sex shops. As its name suggests, warming lube contains ingredients that result in a warming effect once it's applied to the skin. The heating power of warming lube can make skin more receptive to stimulation, thereby enhancing any erotic rubbing or massage. The mild warmth is designed to be enjoyable by anybody, regardless of physical sex. Most warming lubes can be used like regular lubes,[1] but they offer that extra built-in sensation. If you plan on using the lube with latex condoms, always ensure it's water-based, so that it won't break down the latex and create tears. Manufacturers offer variations of warming lubes by including additional enhancers, colours, and flavours. There's a lot of choice to help you find an option that works best for you. Since a little goes a long way, one bottle will probably last for several pleasure sessions, making it worth the nominal price. For a similar sensation with none of the cost or stickiness, you simply have to turn on a faucet. Warm water can be used in a variety of erotic ways. Shower sex,[2] for example, mixes wetness and warmth for a full body experience. Detachable showerheads can be targeted at genitals and erogenous zones to spray warm water with a bit of pressure, stimulating the senses in more ways than one. Shower sex may require some creativity with positioning, depending on what you're doing, which can be one of its benefits. The shower is also a great place to make use of waterproof toys. You could also vary your oral sex routine with some hot H2O. If you're performing fellatio or cunnilingus, try drinking some hot (not scalding) water right before you go down. This trick increases leaves the mouth warmer and wetter, which won't go unnoticed. When it comes to warming with water, the options seem endless. It's also readily available, it doesn't stain, and it's all-natural. For the more advanced heat-lovers, dripping hot wax on a partner could bring about intense feelings of pleasure, so long as it's done safely (trips to the emergency room are neither fun nor sexy). Hot wax play is considered a form of BDSM, so, if you're looking to spice up a vanilla sex life, wax might be an option to try. There are plenty of products, tips, and techniques available to discover online or in specialty shops. The partners involved in hot wax play should be safe and comfortable, and they should understand the proper techniques before beginning. Ordinary candles should not be used. Instead, there are specially designed candles meant for this kinky activity. Regular candles have a high melting point, so their wax will burn or scald the skin. Specialty candles, on the other hand, have a much lower melting point, making them safer to use. These candles will still produce a slight pain sensation, which is meant to feel good. The skin will become more and more sensitive with each drop of wax. Accordingly, the receiving partner will likely start to feel more pain the longer the dripping continues. It's essential to keep checking in with your partner to see how they feel and stop when they have had enough. Hot wax can be used on a number of places on the body. It's usually advised to begin with less sensitive areas like the shoulders and back. After that, more sensitive areas can be introduced, such as the stomach, bottom, and thighs. It is generally not recommended to use hot wax around the face or delicate areas such as the nipples, genitals, and navel. Also, keep in mind that once the wax cools, it's hard to remove from body hair and fabrics, so aim carefully! As the thermometer rises during the summer months and people start cranking up the A/C in an attempt to cool off, remember the erotic potency that heat can bring to sexual activities. Warming lubes, hot water, and hot wax are different options that can increase sexual sensation. To make things even hotter, consider turning off that A/C and sweating it out the old fashioned way. Happy sexing. [1] Always read the instructions and take heed of any warnings. [2] Showers are slippery, so exercise caution. RelatedComments (0)

Rating: 5.0By Andy from TX. (Tuesday, October 02, 2012)
I love the rug, however the description was not entirely accurate. The rug is actually "looped" wool, and the Ikat is much, much, larger than the pictures led me to believe. The brown is a true brown, the grey is a charcoal color, and white is a creamy, oatmeal whitish color. It is easy to keep clean and doesn't shed. A great deal if you wait until a holiday and get an 8x10 75% off for $... :)
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Rating: 4.0By Tabitha from TX. (Friday, September 28, 2012)
The Ikat was much larger than pictured. Love the rug, however it is the "looped" wool rug, not what I originally thought. It is soft, doesn't shed, and if you wait until a holiday, usually 75% off. I paid $... for an 8x10, not too bad!!!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Using Target Advertisements
It is a great idea to use the Target weekly ad to help you save money. A Target weekly ad will potentially point you in the direction of savings. Everyone likes saving money, but it is definitely more and more important these days. Our economy is really struggling, and I know that personally, I belong in the large group of folks who are not in a great financial place. When I was young and carefree, I never thought I would be one to look out for savings. I always thought that people that looked for coupons and sales were stay at home moms. Now I know that anyone can look for these, including a young single male like myself. Many times, the Target weekly ad will include not just advertisements, but coupons as well. So not only will you be able to find sales, but you might also be able to find coupons to go with these sales. Savings ad up, and people that are constantly cutting coupons know this. But saving is not all about how many coupons you cut and collect. I know this because of my sister's boyfriend, Brian. Brian is quite the smart shopper. I do not believe that he cuts and collects many coupons, though. I am willing to bet he may have never cut a coupon. What makes Brian a smart shopper is his keen sense of savings. He always finds out sales and discounts, and almost never purchases something at full price. He knows to look at the Target weekly ad. He knows this because even if it does not have a coupon, the Target weekly ad might have an unknown saving. That particular saving might even be for something you may want or even need. So even if you do not plan on cutting coupons, it might be a good idea to at least look at the Target weekly ad.

2009 has arrived: A new look for Competitive Cyclist
What started as a small effort in summer 2008 to upgrade the functionality of our website became a considerably larger labor of love. The net result now, nearly 7 months later, is the biggest upgrade to our site in almost 4 years. It looks different, and it has a good bit of added functionality to make surfing and shopping easier than ever before. And that was our ultimate goal: To make your Competitive Cyclist experience better in every way. By design, these changes aren't disruptive to the familiar look & operation of our site. And, admittedly, in many cases we were just catching up with the times. You can rest assured that we've made these changes without altering any of our most popular pages, e.g. the Fit Calculator, the Kit Calculator, the Gruppo Calculator, or the Photo Gallery. The highlights:
1. Navigate by brand. Formerly you could only navigate by product category. In other words, if you wanted to look at Assos bib shorts, you had to navigate Apparel > Shorts/Bibs > Assos. Now we've added a "Shop by Brand" link at the top of the page to make locating allproducts of your favorite brands easier than ever.
We did this for two reasons: (1) In studying the most popular search terms entered by customers into our internal search engine, we learned that 95% of the terms were brand names. Clearly, people have a good idea of what brands they're looking for when they visit Competitive Cyclist. Our navigation needed to reflect this reality. (2) We wanted to make it easier for customers to review all products from a given brand, regardless if they were road-specific or mountain-specific. Before brand navigation, this wasn't a possibility. Rather, you had to be on the road site to see Shimano road components, and you had to be on the mountain site to see Shimano mountain components. Now with brand navigation, you can see all product categories for a brand, whether they're road or mountain.
2. Wider pages. When we launched the previous version of Competitive Cyclist roughly 4 years ago, the majority of our customers were using monitors with a resolution of 800x600, and we designed the site to fit comfortably in that space. Since then monitor sizes have increased to 1024x768 and larger, and sites are changing their width to accommodate this increase.
Our widened pages allow more options in the top navigation at the top of our pages. It also allows us to show larger photos. If you look at our bike photography, you'll likely agree that the beauty of these photos has reached a new plateau. Our bike photos aren't just wider, but the zoom window now opens down the page as well. It's the best bike product photography on the web, and it's the one place where we're most guilty of the deadly sin of pride. And, lastly, the wider pages allow us to post a rotation of 4 banners on the bottom of the home page. Keep your eyes peeled for these banners -- it's where we'll announce sales and new product introductions. Our goal is to serve 20 different banners per week, and to change these on a weekly basis.
3. Sortable product menus. Once you visit a product category, e.g., Apparel > Men's Short Sleeve Jerseys, you can still narrow down the results to one brand by clicking on the brand thumbnail on the right side of the page. But, additionally, now you can sort the entire category alphabetically, or by price (either $$$ to $, or $ to $$$), or by percentage discount. This allows you to most easily find the brands you prefer, or the price range you prefer, or to narrow a category down to on-sale items.
4. Virtually eliminated pop ups. And we don't mean pop-up ads, but rather we're referring to the way we formerly showed zoom images and other pieces of information like size charts. Previously, a new, smaller browser window would pop up with the zoom image or the size chart. Now it's a substantially less-jarring experience thanks to the fact that a layer will arise on the page instead of a pop-up window. In writing this, it doesn't sound like a big deal. But in terms of searching and shopping, it's a heck of a lot more pleasant.
5. Ease of site jumping. Look at the left-most link on the upper navigation. If you're on the road site it says "visit mtb site", and if you're on the mtb site it says "visit road site." We thought very, very, very long and hard about merging our road and mountain sites together. After extensive study, we recognized that the product selection and (perhaps more importantly) the culture of road and mountain are so different that merging them together wouldn't be wise. Putting these links in the upper left hand corner makes jumping from site to site easier. And, just like before, if you have items in your cart on one site, they stay in the cart if/when you jump to the other site.
Those are the main highlights, though other things changed as well. This wasn't an art project, but rather we wanted to make Competitive Cyclist a better site for you, our customers. If you see any bugs, or anything that just annoys you, please don't hesitate to let us know. We're hopeful that you'll really like the changes.
January 02, 2009
Thank you for the improvements. While I've loved your site, I was annoyed with some of the navigation. The new design addresses many of them. I agree with your decision of segregate the road and MTB sites. The culture of each IS different and when I browse other sites I don't like having to scroll through lots of MTB gear to find my beloved road gear.
May I suggest you provide some information about what customers can expect if they come visit your new location. Is there a regular store at the location? I live in KC and might like to stop by during one of my trips to the Ozarks.

Great overview – It's nice having a little bit of a playbook whenever a new design rolls out. I look forward to digging in!

What Do You Really Know About Valley Forge National Historic Park?
Jenkins Arboretum, 631 Berwyn Baptist Rd, Devon, PA | Get Directions »
Presented by Deirdre Gibson, Chief of Planning and Resource Management for Valley Forge National Historic Park
Valley Forge is the national park in your backyard, yet how well do you really know it? The park we see today is the product of thousands of years of repeated cycles of destruction and recovery that began with prehistoric megafauna, and continued through deforestation, war, industrial pollution on a massive scale, preservation and commemoration, and now suburbanization and climate change. This illustrated talk focuses on the remarkable story of the landscape here and the aggressive work now underway to restore not only the historic landscape but also the environmental health of this resilient and beloved place.
Deirdre Gibson has served as the Chief of Planning and Resource Management for Valley Forge National Historic Park (NHP) since 2002, and oversees preservation of historic landscapes, archeology, historic collections and natural resources, as well as planning for capital improvements, and transportation for the park. She holds a BS in Landscape Architecture from Pennsylvania State University and an MS in Landscape Architecture and Planning with Highest Honors from Harvard University. She has received numerous awards for her work, and last year received the Stephen Tyng Mather Award from the National Parks Conservation Association for her courage and commitment in ensuring preservation of Valley Forge NHP.

"At this web site you find a description of the Roman Forum between 100 BC and 100 AD. The Roman Forum was the centre of ancient Rome. At this web site the Forum is the centre of exploration. It will be the starting point for a great variety of wanderings. Many interesting aspects of Rome and its inhabitants can be met. Descriptions and views of many historic buildings can be found. The most important social, political, cultural and religious functions of the Roman Forum are dealt with. Attention is paid to the celebrities of that time and the roles they played in public life. All this is put against the background of the Roman Forum. The site presents emperors, senators, writers, artists and architects. Those works of art that originate in the Roman Forum but that are to be found in various museums are presented as well."

I'm thinking of trying out ProcessWire for a web app I'm starting to work on. The main reasons I've thought of it are:
- I've used PW for a few sites and love it
- I'm loathe to build a good access control system from scratch
- I could use the PW admin as the admin for my app, and so wouldn't need to build one from scratch
- I'm interested to try out PW in an app format
- I could use all that I learn about PW in this project for other PW projects.
The main hurdle I'm thinking about so far is how to adapt PWs CMS style user system to one that is more like a SAAS app (i.e. users can belong to a specific account, which in turn can only access data ("Pages") that belong to that specific account).
Has anyone tried something like this with PW? Am I nuts to think it might be a good idea?
Thanks for any thoughts on the subject

Last week, the Campaign to End Obesity released The Long-Term Returns of Obesity Prevention Policies, a new report which identifies billions of dollars in potential savings that are attributable to a variety of obesity-prevention tactics.
By Lindsay Hock
If you're like me, chances are you have a hard time making your physical health a priority. Life always seems to get in the way, and obligations to your fitness are the first to fall off the list. So how do you embrace your inner athlete, get the most out of your sporting experiences and appreciate the awesome body that lets you do it? Summon your senses, take a risk, be a rookie and reach your fitness goals.
Low-income, minority neighborhoods in U.S. cities are unfortunately more likely to be forgotten places. There, less money is spent on road repair, civic infrastructure or cultural projects than in other parts of town. And this pattern seems to have extended to public parks, with the result that the children who need exercise the most may be less able to get it.
As a part of the Obama administration's commitment to the health of young Americans, both federal and non-federal stakeholders have expressed a desire for the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans to be updated on a regular basis. This new midcourse report, Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Midcourse Report: Strategies to Increase Physical Activity Among Youth, is intended to identify interventions that can help increase physical activity in youth across a variety of settings and was released last week at the Partnership for a Healthier America Summit in Washington, D.C.
Did you know that heart disease is the leading cause of death for both U.S. women and men? 42 million Americans suffer from heart disease and it affects -- one in three U.S. women. With 80 percent of its occurrence coming from lifestyle choices, not genetics, heart disease is both preventable and controllable. While the statistics are startling, there are ways to keep heart disease at bay – starting with diet and exercise. What are the alarming numbers and what can you do to make sure your heart is the healthiest it can be? In honor of February's American Heart Month, we break it down.
In 2012, the Starfinder Foundation was given a grant from our GoGirlGo! grant program. The money won will fund the third year of the Soccer Girls Rule Program that provides soccer and learning experiences for underserved girls. Girls will enhance their self-confidence, resilience, and self-efficacy; increase their knowledge about physical development, healthy behaviors, and interpersonal relations; and embrace physical activity as a key component of their adolescent lifestyle.
The Women's Sports Foundation is a non-profit that advances the lives of women through sports and physical activity.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (134 votes).
In short: AwfulIn full: The changes made to this race were shocking. the course was made by someone who clearly didn't like runners. Marshalling was poor getting competitors to park on the course generally not a good idea. making the cones so close to the edge of the road you couldn't actually run safely down them. my list of problems with this race go on. really badDate of review: April 3, 2011
In short: Oh the hillsIn full: Well done to the organisers who have managed to put on a marathon with all the difficulties this entails. Superb conditions and a nice route through Battle where the locals turn out to support the runners. Organisation was superb - it felt like a big race in terms of the little touches that went in to it with food, tea, coffee all available at the race HQ and practically a picnic at each food/drink stop!Might be an idea to change the positioning of the portaloos though - don't really need them on course and I didn't see anyone using. Move them to the race HQ where more would have been good.As for the course - marshalls first! They were great and there were some superb marshals out there who had to contend with traffic and getting runners across a fairly busy road. I didn't have to stop once for traffic. The encouragement given was also top notch.The course itself - well, one word hilly! A marathon is a tough ask but to add hills to the mix was just punishing. That said the area is fairly hilly so what can you do. The obvious though is to work on the course so we don't have the 2 x loops which contained some incredible ascents and declines. Hopefully the organisers can get the authorities to allow for a better route next time.Overall I rate the race very highly. Ache more now though than at ny time I can remember after a race! Thanks again to all. Date of review: April 3, 2011
In short: Welcoming atmosphere and a small, serious field made a good way to end the year.Date of review: November 21, 2010
In short: Well done to Bexhill runners for this excellent race.In full: Many thanks to all the people from Bexhill runners who did a very good job on the day, especially the marshalls who had to stand out in the rain and who despite this were very cheerful and supportive throughout. It was a very friendly race indeed, and I can recommend the home-made cakes; an excellent choice. The tannoy announcer did a great job reading out splits and generally being encouraging. Having the splits on the published results is very useful too; I thought I had faded badly in the last two laps, but in fact the splits showed I had not faded that badly compared to the rest of the field. The medal is great, nearly as good as the Hastings half medal, which is the best I've ever seen. I didn't buy a T-shirt, but they looked good too. The baggage storage was good, and dry, which was important on the day.For those who might be interested in this race another time, this is a very flat race. My Garmin recorded total gross climb of 11m, which is easily the lowest for any race I have taken part in. The race takes the form of 4 equal laps right by the sea front. My Garmin made the total length of the race 21.29km, i.e. 200m too long, but Garmins are not always that accurate. The scenary was good if you like the sea, which I do.Another attraction is that it is easily available by train for anyone who lives on the London-Hastings line, change at St Leonards Warrior Square for Bexhill, then just under a mile walk to race HQ, which is right by the start and finish.As others have noted, the weather was rather wet. Fortunately the rain which was pouring down as I arrived soon slowed down to a drizzle and had stopped by the start of the race. However the drizzle started again soon after the race started, and it was raining from about the 3km mark. By 12km it was raining heavily which continued until the last 2km when it slowed and by the end had stopped. From about the 15km point there was also a lot of standing water on the course.The good point was that the wind was mainly light.The only drawback of this race was that there was nowhere that I saw to change into dry clothes afterwards. I had to wait until the second train home to get out of my very wet clothes. Still I suppose there are not many races which do much better in that respect. Personally I prefer small water bottles to paper or plastic cups, but on the day simply opening one's mouth at any point of the course collected some water.Date of review: November 20, 2010
In short: Very wet, tremendous marshalls.In full: I quite like running in the rain, but this was more than just rain. By lap three there was a soapy lather on my masculine running tights, which probably says as much about my washing machine as it does the weather.I quite like the idea of laps, but at times it was a touch dispiriting seeing people coming past you in the other direction. But very flat course, was a minute outside my PB, which I was a tad disappointed by, so I'll blame the weather for that.Excellent marshalls, really friendly and supportive in the wet. Calling out splits was also nice at the start-finish area. I made the mistake of leaving my in the rain during the race, so shivvered my way back to the station and found enough coins in my pocket to buy a charity shop jumper for the walk home!Date of review: November 18, 2010
In short: Were there really chocolate gold coins at the finish???In full: Please someone tell me that there weren't really chocolate gold coins at the finish - that my husband was just pulling my leg..... otherwise he is in big trouble for not telling me at the time....All in all I enjoyed the race though there are areas for improvement - in particular the registration process. Having to queue to give the name - then to wait whilst they shout to the back of the marquee for them to get the number - and then another queue for the chip....Next - the drinks station: there was only one on the route - which was hidden away just past the finishing banner on the right hand side of the road - shame that at this point slower runners were being yelled at to stay on the left in order to let the faster runners go by..... no notices pointing out the water station, no obvious people handing out cups..... It took me until the last lap to even spot the drinks station - though I'm not the most observant of people.... (and where were all the sweets that the earlier reviewers referred to.... I only saw a pile of jelly babies thrown on the floor once i had finished)However praize definitely should go to the marshalls - they were all fantastic - being so supportive - even though they were standing out in the torrential rain. And I loved the route - I enjoyed it being laps and seeing the runners go by on the other side. I so hope the wheelchair competitor finished as he looked like he was having a hard time in getting round all the corners - but still persevered, very inspirational!Date of review: November 16, 2010
In short: Love Bexhill, love the medal, love the cakes, hated this race!In full: I started out knowing I don't like laps but doing the race solely because I was in Bexhill and it was an opportunity to do a cracking time. What I didn't realise was that it wouldn't only be the course that was lapping but the puddles too!For the first 7 miles I was on target for a good PB, but an old timer like me can't cope with that amount of rain and I went from a good pace (for me) to barely more than a walk, sloshing along as if I was on the beach. Actually I would have enjoyed it more on the beach because I found the laps so, so boring and tedious and know i wasn't the only one who forgot what lap I was on! Thank heavens for Garmin!In the end, instead of a good PB I took a minute longer than the hilly Maidstone Half last month! Bizarre!But that's my problem. As usual the Bexhill folk are great, the cakes were great, and it was good to get a brilliant Bexhill medal again after the Christmas Chocolate one from the 10k in September.Bexhill, I will keep coming back, but definitely NOT to the half marathon if it stays at 4 laps.Date of review: November 16, 2010
In short: a really nice gentle half, perfect for a beginner like me!Date of review: November 16, 2010
In short: Very wet but worth it all the sameIn full: I was dreading the wind, but actually it was the rain that nearly (nearly) killed me. After getting power-showed soaked, I was freezing during the second half of the race, but the route was nice and flat and in good condition, which helped. Big thanks to all the spectators (who stayed despite the rain) and the organisers. And the bakers - the cake was great! Date of review: November 16, 2010
In short: Fast wet fastIn full: Slight confusion with registration, originally due to be in the park but due to waterlogged ground this was moved to a nice marquee on the promenade, catching out a few people who had run this event before.It rained - quite heavily. I didn't fall going down the ramp to the seafront but was on my knees on the 4th lap going up it. Took 6 minutes off PB.There was cake at the end. And chocolate coins - although failing to mention this point to my gluten free, wet, hungry and non cake eating wife went down about as well as telling her that I had left her raincoat back at the hotel before the start of the race.Might have enjoyed it more if the sun had turned out and I wasn't suffering from a throat infection.Hats off to the marshals though who stayed out in the rain for hours waiting for the final finishers, Mark and Robert, well done for sticking with it and finishing.Date of review: November 16, 2010

DoctorTeeth30x4: Done!
My daily exercise regimen was generally a success. I managed to do at least 4 weeks in a row, twice, and that's decent enough dedication. I normally set myself 8 weeks straight for these exercise goals, but I'm thinking that might be a little long commitment before I move up. So next goal I'm just going to keep for five weeks, one week longer than I generally do. If I get sick, I won't be so dogmatic, but otherwise: four days a week for five weeks means twenty sessions in thirty-five days. That's doable, right? 2 months ago
