Black History Month and SB 48
My opinion for what it is worth
by Charles Waybright
Another Black History Month just came to a close, following a year that brought us new legislation to ensure disabled and homosexual people are included in school history lessons.
There are some people who question the necessity of Black History Month and legislation like the FAIR Education Act (SB 48).
To answer that question, we need to ask ourselves: Is the history we have learned in school complete and accurate?
As I reflect upon some of the greatest history lessons that I have learned, they were not in the classroom.
One was a TV series called Roots. Roots gripped our nation as it told the story of slavery. Some refused to watch as they feared that such a real pretrial of our history would lead to violence. I believe the vivid lesson of slavery in America made us richer as a people and as a nation.
Another lesson was in world history. Most of us have studied World War II and the defeat of Nazi Germany. Many of the names we are familiar with that contributed to that success are Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Dwight D. Eisenhower and George S. Patton.
However, a man whose name is unknown to most people actually contributed as much as these other men to the victory of Germany: Alan Turing.
Alan Turing, born June 23, 1912, was an English mathematician and was considered a genius by many of his colleagues. Turing was instrumental in developing the modern computer and is considered to be the father of computer science and artificial intelligence. He was recruited to break the German's cryptic machines.
The most illusive of these German cryptic machines was the Enigma machine, which had the brightest minds of the time baffled.
Upon viewing the Enigma machine, through stroke of pure genius, Turing intuitively understood how it worked and how it must be used. This enabled him to develop a series of techniques to break Germany's cryptic machines, which played a significant role in the Allies' successes against Germany.
In 1952, Turing was convicted of homosexual acts, and he accepted a treatment of female hormones to avoid prison. Two years later at the age of 41, Turing was found dead from cyanide poisoning. The death was ruled a suicide.
In 2009, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown made an official public apology on behalf of the British government for the way Turing was treated after the war.
When we look back at our founders, who were not without their faults, they laid down a foundation for our nation that was profound and genius in nature. They created a government by design that could self-regulate.
When our nation began it was far from perfect, but because of its unique balance of power, it allowed us to correct the grave mistakes of our past.
This balance of power included a means to protect the rights of a few, which allowed for women's rights, civil rights, and gay rights. And learning our history accurately and completely plays an important role in the nation's development.
Until the history we are taught in school includes all the lessons of beauty and brutality, the lessons of human triumph and of embarrassment, and does not exclude contributions based on gender, skin color, religion or sexual orientation, we will need Black History Month and the FAIR Education Act.

Toxic Mess: EPA places former Missoula Co papermill on National Priorities List
By Matthew Koehler, May 22, 2013
Source: https://ncfp.wordpress.com/2013/05/22/toxi…
On March 12, 2011, the Missoulian reported that "Smurfit-Stone Container Corp. officials say they've already cleaned up their Frenchtown paper mill." The article went on to quote Smurfit-Stone Container Corp. spokeswoman Lisa Esneault:
"When we discontinued operations at the Missoula mill more than a year ago, we developed a detailed strategy for removing all residual process materials subject to environmental regulation. We discussed our plans with the (Montana Department of Environmental Quality) at that time and have since implemented all activities as promised. This work is now complete and we believe all environmental issues at the mill have been appropriately addressed."
Well, today, Missoula County residents woke up to the news that:
"The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has proposed placing Frenchtown's old paper mill site on the National Priorities List, a step closer to triggering a Superfund cleanup effort.
The former Smurfit-Stone Container Corp. mill has evidence of dioxin, furan, arsenic and manganese contamination on portions of its 3,200-acre grounds. An NPL listing would allow more testing to confirm the extent of the problem and research of the plant's history to determine which former or current owners might bear financial responsibility for fixing it.
"This isn't a taxpayer-paid program," Missoula County environmental health supervisor Peter Nielsen said Tuesday. "It's paid for by the parties that profited from the operation, sale or closure of that mill. They're brought back to the table to pay for the messes they've left behind. That's where we're headed, and that's what we felt all along is what should happen."
Current property owners Frenchtown Technology and Industrial Center did not respond to phone and email requests for comment on the EPA announcement. Previously, company redevelopment manager Ray Stillwell told the Missoulian he hoped the site could avoid a federal listing by managing its own cleanup efforts."
It's worth remembering that the Smurfit-Stone Container Corp was one of the original "timber partners" (along with Montana Wilderness Association, National Wildlife Federation and Montana Trout Unlimited) that was part of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge Partnership's proposal for 100,000 acres of politically mandated national forest logging, which later became part of Sen Tester's Forest Jobs and Recreation Act.
It's also worth remembering that the Smurfit-Stone Container paper mill closed on December 31, 2009, the very same day the Black Liquor Tax Credit loophole expired, which was much more than a coincidence. During 2009, Smurfit-Stone Corporation collected $654 million from US taxpayers utilizing this "black liquor tax credit" boondoggle. All told, the U.S. Pulp and Paper industry took $6.5 billion from U.S. Taxpayers in 2009 under the black liquor boondoggle.
Well, it's looking like the boondoggle will continue, since Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation executives apparently lied to Missoula County citizens and left Missoula County with a toxic mill site that will likely require federal EPA Superfund clean-up. But, hey, at least the Smufit-Stone executives got $50.4 million in bonuses during 2009, right?
Note: On May 27, 2011 Rock-Tenn Co completed it's $3.5 billion takeover of Smurfit-Stone Container Corp. Rock-Tenn Co CEO and Chairman James A. Rubright is with the American Forest & Paper Association. Also, word has it that Smurfit-Stone was bankrupted and restructured before Rock-Tenn acquired and Rock-Tenn's envio counsel became Rock-Tenn's enviro VP. In other words, the assets, profits and subsidies are continuous, but not the liabilities.

…In a June 26, 1994, Cleveland Plain Dealer article entitled Environmentalists Leery of Possible Loopholes, Chris Trepal, co-director of the Earth Day Coalition in Northeast Ohio, lambasted the enabling VAP legislation as "one of the poorest public policy measures I've ever seen." A clairvoyant Richard Sahli, executive director of the Ohio Environmental Council, echoed his sentiment in the May 26, 1994, Cincinnati Post, "We do predict there will be a lot of shoddy cleanups under this bill the state will never catch." Testifying before the House Energy & Natural Resources Committee on behalf of the Ohio Academy of Trial Lawyers, Cincinnati environmental lawyer David Altman asserted, "This bill is a definite bait-and-switch. What it is supposed to do and what it does is two different things."
A seminal, 152 page 2001 Gund Foundation funded study by the Green Environmental Council confirmed the critics' predictions. A dearth of agency resources to provide meaningful regulatory oversight combined with the lack of a credible, established enforcement mechanism has rendered the feckless, industry aligned program toothless. "It's a broken program – it doesn't work," declared the council's Bruce Cornett in an interview with the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Both the Sierra Club and Ohio Citizen Action opposed the 2000 $400 million Clean Ohio state bond issue out of concern the fungible proceeds could be utilized to prop up the lame Voluntary Action Program and create a trojan horse polluters slush fund. "This is the governor's attempt to whitewash his EPA," charged Jane Forrest Redfern, environmental projects director for Ohio Citizen Action in a November 1, 2000, Cleveland Plain Dealer article. Dedicated professionals, veteran Ohio EPA bureaucrats attempted to rectify the problem. According to the October 4, 2000, Cleveland Plain Dealer, "EPA staffers who shared some of the environmentalists' concerns, at one point launched a quiet but unsuccessful campaign to disband the program."
For six years after the Voluntary Action Program's 1996 implementation, the U.S. EPA refused to extend program participants federal immunity and threatened to decertify the Ohio EPA due to the VAP's expansive, inhibiting secrecy provisions and tangible lack of transparency. In a brokered, bifurcated modification to the Ohio VAP that "frankly doesn't make sense at all," according to Ohio Public Interest Research Group director Amy Simpson (Akron Beacon Journal, February 24, 2001), an alternative "memorandum of agreement" VAP track with enhanced public access was crafted. Companies that elect the original, opaque, "classic" option, which conceals under an embargo the extent and nature of contamination, will not be afforded U.S. EPA liability insulation. "Why Ohio would want a two-headed monster is beyond me," quipped the Ohio Environmental Council's Jack Shaner. In SCA's case, the jaundiced, green and incompliant wants to hide what you can't see.

I have been going to PHC for over a year now and after reading the articles and comments I feel I have to comment . I have never heard any dentist/staff raise their voice at coworkers or patients in my time, and believe me I have had many appointments. I have had appointments with Dr. Jensen and Dr. Hollern and I have only seen nice professional behavior. I feel that people generally feel that PHC is a sub standard facility and that is far beyond the truth. They provide a service that is not appreciated as far as I am concerned.

Hi ya, April.
This is sloppy reporting if ever there was. Jessica failed to mention that Judge Sherlock dismissed most of the plaintiffs from the case, agreeing with the state that their supposed injuries were purely speculative. She also failed to mention that Judge Sherlock was puzzled why the plaintiffs opposed the legislature's efforts to address their concerns with the law. Sherlock is no dummy -- he knows that Shahid's real motives haven't been to repair the law but to eliminate it outright. Shahid is spinning and Jessica swallowed it without question.
This painting is just typical Jew pornography, showing a disgusting little Niglet with his butt hanging out of his diaper and a bare-breasted white youth who appears happy to see it.
And for the record, only a fool would believe in the Holohoax. If the Jews wanted to have a legitimate gripe against Hitler and the Nazis, they ought to argue he should have used even MORE Zyclon-B and "Gas chambers," since doing so would have saved additional Jews by delousing their clothing thereby preventing the spread of the deadly disease Typhus.
The Nazi "gas chambers" SAVED hundreds of thousands of Jews. Hitler was obsessed with the safety and well-being of the Jews, it was in his best interest to look out for their well-being.

Missoula has more empathy per citizen population than any place I have lived. However, many people here also have the "meanwell" disorder mostly only a problem when they get their reality confused thinking "should" is the same thing as is. As annoying as meanwells can be .... they are way better than meanies. Most of the various clueless souls with the good hearts learn eventually. You can ignore reality but it won't ignore you.
Glad I read this.....I thought they only sold homebrew making supplies. Now that I know they sell craft beers, I will check out the inside of it.

Even at an early age, Cheryl Day was a passionate and practical advocate for agriculture. Check out her viewpoint on current agricultural topics.
This week our farm was blessed with brand new baby calf. Nothing can get two kids out of bed bright and early on a Saturday morning then announcing we have a new addition. This year, we are only half way through the calving season and continue the process of managing the on farm maternity ward. Bringing a live calf in the world is a gamble much like bringing in a newborn child.
As soon as the mother has brought the calf into the world, we spring into action and begin our normal newborn regimen. After mother has cleaned her calf, we immediately treat the umbilical cord with iodine in order to disinfect and protect in from attracting foreign bacteria. In addition, we clean and dry the calf off. Wet and cold calves are more prone to cold stress and sickness. At this point, we make sure the cow and calf is placed in their own clean and freshly bedded pen to assure the calf's natural instinct kicks in and nurses the Colostrum milk of its mother. Colostrum contains immunoglobulin(s) that provides the first source of energy and builds the newborn's immunity. Since it is essential for the newborn to absorb the immunoglobulin within the first 2-4 hours of life, we go on our way and give mom and calf some much needed (alone) bonding time.
At the end of 2010, my husband strongly suggested we take a much need mini-vacation to escape the hamster wheel of life. So in the moment, we decided to go to Vegas. Why not – Right? While studying the nation's water quantity issues, I have read much about the water woes of Vegas. It was my civic duty to check it out. So throwing that long list of "To-Do's" aside for five days, I grabbed caution to the wind and embraced the Vegas scene.
When the hotel staff suggested a restaurant across the street advertising "Twisted Farm Food", I was in! As we approached the top of the escalator, we were greeted by very familiar farm décor

Today, February 4 is National WEAR RED DAY to create awareness and gain support to educate women and fund research by the American Heart Association. Heart disease is still the No. 1 killer of women. The American Heart Association list Diabetes, Heart Disease and Stroke, High Blood Pressure, and Cholesterol as major health risk factors.
The most important dietary advice people can follow to reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and cancer is to follow the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, which recommend a nutrient-rich, balanced diet from all five food groups.
In my previous blog post, I indicated that I was anticipating the February 1 episode of the Oprah show-Vegan Challenge. On the cattle farm in central Illinois, we were in the mist of a blizzard. All day, I anticipated the 4pm airing of the Oprah Show on my local station. When the 4 O'Clock hour struck; the wind picked up, ice pelted, and the local station feed died. After 20 minutes, it was clear the show was not going on in my household.
My family including the children bundled up to complete the evening chores. A task in this weather that requires all hands on deck. As the wind howls and the lights began to flicker, I was quite impressed with the teamwork.
- If you have any questions about how your food is raise then ask a farmer or rancher.
- A healthy diet is well-balanced. Meat is a naturally nutrient-rich source of ten essential nutrients. The protein in meat helps strengthen and sustain your body. Evidence shows that protein plays an important role in maintaining healthy weight, building muscle, and fueling physical activity.
-Oprah visit a farm and walk in our shoes. Maybe you should accept Mike Haley's invitation.

Building owners still await answers after 2011 landslide VIDEO
TROY – It has been a year since Tropical Storm Irene ravaged several areas of the Capital District, but on Brunswick Road, a situation many business owners thought would be resolved by the end of 2011 have yet to see any progress, they say.
Following last year's landslide, two homes, an automotive garage and another home at the top of the hill were severely damaged and the entire area at the bottom of the hill was immediately evacuated at the time of the storm. The buildings at the bottom, though, belonged to property owners Gordon Enfield of Enfield Realty and Tom Gabriel.
Both have said they suffered a massive financial blow as a result.
Enfield said the automotive garage and some of the apartment buildings that were crushed by the slide amounted to several thousand dollars a month in lost income.
He isn't bitter toward the city or the Federal Emergency Management Agency, though, as he understands FEMA could be overwhelmed by the various other requests in the Northeast as a result of the storm.
"FEMA is difficult to work with but they probably have been as cooperative as they can," Enfield said, adding he has been working with the City on a weekly basis. "I think the City of Troy is working hard at finalizing the work that has to be done across the street. I find them very cooperative. They can only be as cooperative as FEMA and New York State Officer of Emergency Management allows."
Fortunately for Enfield, as a realtor, he does have other properties he owns and leases out to people but Gabriel has lost all his income on the properties in the city. Both Enfield and he are still paying taxes and mortgages on their properties, but both have seen insurance hikes since the companies know the buildings are not inhabited.
Gabriel said he has paid $20,000 in mortgage payments over the last year but has lost another $40,000 in income. He said he is working in Manhattan for the time being.
"I have a mortgage to pay and the bank won't let me out without affecting my credit," Gabriel said. "I pay my taxes up to date."
Gabriel said he is past the point of anger and is now just frustrated by the process. He is confused as to why the City could have them evacuated from their properties but they are not allowed to get back into them. Continued...
"The big thing with me was I was not affected by the mudslide," Gabriel said. "[The buildings] were 100 feet away from it. [The city] just made a judgment call."
City Director of Operations Bill Chamberlin said that was exactly the case as it was a matter of public safety and the city felt it could have been liable if the area was not evacuated. He sympathizes with both Enfield and Gabriel but said it really isn't anyone's fault. The problem is mainly because the properties are privately owned.
According to City officials, the work that needs to be done to stabilize the embankment and prevent it from reacting to heavy rain fall as it did during Irene can't be done as the funding is not yet there. The other difficulty comes from the fact the properties are privately owned.
"Without those properties we can't fix the hill," said Chamberlin. "The whole kicker here is the private vs. public property."
According to City officials, it is still waiting on another $2.1 million to not only fix the embankment but to also purchase the properties beneath as it would allow the City to perform the work that needs to be done.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a dispute between FEMA and the NYSOEM as to who is supposed to pick up the bill, according to Chamberlin.
FEMA did not comment on the issue and a NYSOEM spokesman said the agency is still working with FEMA to address the project.
City Engineer Russ Reeves said he understands how overwhelmed FEMA must be with various other projects in the Northeast. Still, he said FEMA has been very helpful throughout the ordeal.
The city has already given over $1 million to bring the embankment back to its "pre-disaster condition" but Reeves said the area is not clear of any possible danger if another storm were to happen. Continued...
"The critical thing most people don't realize is once you have a landslide, it's still a dangerous situation," Reeves said. "Even a 50-year storm could cause it to fail."
Due to the heavy amount of rainfall, there was a substantial amount of water in the hill, making the soil to be more buoyant and causing the soil to lose its ability to hold itself up, according to Reeves.
What needs to be done now, according to Reeves, is various trees in the way of remediation need to be cut down and the slope will have to be made more gradual. Then the city will cut finger drains into the embankment in order to drain the soil mass and get rid of some of the water.
Reeves said they will then go over the front of the embankment with granular material along with a bed of shot rock stone in front to weigh things down. A drainage pipe will be put into the ground to collect the water along with a catch basin at the bottom. They will then direct the groundwater into the Poestenkill Creek.
"What we have to do is work of remediation in the context of FEMA approval," Reeves said. "But we have not received the final project worksheet, which details what is permitted and what will be reimbursed."

Women and Wine: What a Great Combination!
Last week Penny and I attended the Women for WineSense Conference at the Robert Mondavi Vineyards in Oakville, California. What a great event that combined the best of the Napa wines with the best of women participants, all great lovers of wine. Penny of course was our representative for the NapaandBordeaux wines, (LATERALITE GAUCHE and LATERALITE DROIT, to be released in very limited quantities in Napa this fall). Ben was allowed to participate provided he carried Penny's purse!
The organization was outstanding. From the first entrance to the event where we were greeted with a delicious and chilled Chardonnay to the great appetizers. The best part was of couse all the beautiful women attending! All enjoying making new friends, sharing stories about their favorite wines and planning for future events.
We hope to have as much fun and as great company when our wines are finally released around September this year. But these outstanding wines will be in such limited quantities that everyone who loves fine wines will have to be able to add some to his/her collections which should be labelled "For those Very Special Occasions".

It just occurred to me that there are several pokemon with matching cries, like charizard and rhyhorn. can anyone give me a list of these pokemon with matching cries? thanks
Two pairs of Generation I Pokémon share the same cry, despite not being related by evolution. These are: Charizard and Rhyhorn Poliwag and Ditto http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Cry Hope this Helps :D
Charizard and Rhyhorn Poliwag and Ditto These are the only two pairs of Pokemon with the exact same cry. Even though the cries of two other Pokemon may sound the same, they have slight differences in pitch. For example, Machop and Omanyte. They sound the same, but if you listen close enough there is a slight pitch difference. Also, you might find this hard to believe, but in Gen I, there are only 37 completely different cries, despite 151 Pokemon in that generation. Source: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Cry
Porygon2 and Girafarig have the same cry.

text: 000 FXUS63 KEAX 230826 AFDEAX AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE KANSAS CITY/PLEASANT HILL MO 326 AM CDT Thu May 23 2013 .SHORT TERM...(Today through Saturday) Issued at 325 AM CDT THU MAY 23 2013 Light rain showers/sprinkles have been moving south through Iowa early this morning around the upper-low moving across the Upper Mississippi valley. There is a chance that these could last into northern and northeastern Missouri this morning, so have added a mention of sprinkles. Otherwise, quiet conditions are expected with thicker stratocu persisting through much of the day across northern and northeastern Missouri. This area will see highs in the mid 60s as cloud cover and continued cool northerly/northeasterly winds keep temperatures seasonally cool. Southern and western portions of the forecast area will see temperatures in the lower 70s as cloud cover will be less persistent there. Friday should be a bit warmer across the area but temperatures are still expected to be in the lower 70s. The next decent chance for rain will come late Friday night and into Saturday. A strong low-level jet is expected to develop over the Plains, focusing on wester to central Nebraska and Kansas. This will likely trigger storms across the region and as the low-level jet veers and shifts east, the focus and stronger, moist isentropic ascent will as well. This may bring whatever forms in the Plains into mainly northern Missouri late in the night. We will also be seeing more broad isentropic lift through the area earlier in the night, so cannot rule some isolated showers or storms out earlier. But the best chances will be later when better moisture and ascent arrive. Mid-level flow will become more persistently from the south to southwest allowing continued moisture advection into the region. This will result in at least a chance for thunderstorms through the day and into the overnight. While it doesn`t look like the start of the Memorial Day weekend will be a washout with thunderstorms everywhere, the chances will be there throughout the day for scattered showers and storms unfortunately. The threat for severe weather looks low at this through Saturday night as shear and instability will be rather limited. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Wednesday) Issued at 325 AM CDT THU MAY 23 2013 Upper-level ridging will remain in place across the central U.S. for much of next week. Despite this ridge, all medium range guidance continues to produce multiple rounds of convection across the Plains into the Upper Midwest through most of the extended period as the upper trough to the west sends continuous weak impulses into the region. Airmass in place will be somewhat unstable, so several rounds of thunderstorms are certainly a possibility, but the presence of weak capping aloft and the lack of any well-defined forcing mechanism suggest these model PoPs are probably overdone. While it is unlikely we will see thunderstorms every day next week like the models suggest, its not yet possible to pinpoint when/where the highest chances will be. Therefore kept low-end chance PoPs for much of the extended period but tried to trend drier by Wednesday as upper level heights begin to rise overhead. Wind fields will be weak so significant severe weather seems unlikely at this point. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday Night) Issued at 1151 PM CDT WED MAY 22 2013 Forecast remains on track with broken stratus across terminals. Still anticipate arrival of MVFR ceilings between 09-12Z at TAF sites, with a return back to VFR conditions around midday. Surface winds will veer with time. && .EAX WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Sarasota prepares for annual downtown holiday parade
Date: November 29, 2012
by: Nick Friedman | Community Editor
Paul Thorpe, or as he's often referred to, "Mr. Downtown," is a man who lives up to his moniker. The former president of the Downtown Association of Sarasota organized the first downtown holiday parade 24 years ago, as a way to bring the community to downtown Sarasota to celebrate the holiday season.
"I wanted to do something for the whole community," he says. "Something that you didn't have to have a $250 dinner plate to go to. This is something the whole town can participate in — a miniature Macy's."
Since then, the parade has grown into a Sarasota tradition. Each year, thousands of spectators flock to Main Street to get in the holiday spirit. Participants from throughout the county build floats to fit the parade's theme and compete for one of six trophies, including the coveted Mayor's Trophy, which is awarded to the overall best float.
Thorpe says the event gets bigger and better each year, with new floats in the commercial, nonprofit, marching and dancing categories. He estimates that this year's parade, which will make its way down Main Street Saturday, Dec. 1, to Marina Jack, will feature 100 floats, high school bands from all over the county and thousands of spectators. This year's theme is "Christmas in Paradise," and among the participants will be city commissioners, local businesses, churches, schools and several hundred Girl Scouts — as Thorpe puts it, "a true community event."
Of all the months of planning required to organize the parade, Thorpe says the biggest challenge lies in staging the floats and keeping everything moving smoothly, but it's a challenge he says is well worth it.
"It's a contribution we make to community to do something fun for everyone that doesn't cost them anything," he says. "It's a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season."
Annual downtown holiday parade takes place at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, on Main Street, in downtown Sarasota.

Just as it should have been warming up for the longer runs, it got colder than ever. Now all the hard work is done but you have the delicate job of getting the taper right. Thanks to the unusual conditions everything may not be straight forward, so
Cutting back on volume and intensity for a race seven days away may seem obvious, but many runners still get it wrong. So, for the perfect taper, just do this:Sat/Sun 75 per cent of your long run (if its usually 10 miles, run 7)Mon 20-30 minutes
Running less in the weeks prior to a race is scientifically proven to lead to better performances. Known as tapering, this period of decreased training allows your mind and body time to recover from months of hard training so they are in prime

Q. What is the best mix of protein, carbs and fats to eat the week before the marathon? Rob22A. The most important thing is to continue eating a well-balanced diet composed of carbohydrate (70%), protein (15%) and fat (15%). Aim to eat around 6-9g of carbohydrate per kilogram...
Entering a half-marathon can lull you in to a false sense of security. It's half the distance of the full 26.2 miles, so surely you'll only do half the training and half the taper, right? But as experienced runners know, there's not too much
The time has come to take the first step on the long, hard road to marathon glory. But don't worry; we'll be with you every step of the way, whether you're looking to crack three hours or simply aiming to complete the marathon in daylight.Here, you'll find Runner's World's finest...
In principle, tapering should be simple – run less so you're rested for race day. In practice, many athletes find two to three weeks of cutting back on mileage and intensity makes their legs feel heavy and lifeless. But Spanish coach
of the taper, you disregard race plans and get carried along too fast. Anyone can feel great at 10 miles, but the key to running a successful marathon is to still feel vaguely okay at 23-25 miles. Other errors are drinking too little or too much, not cutting

Anyhow, im trying to use @import to put it into other css files so I can access the fonts from within. Only problem is - you guessed it - its not working.

So I spent a lot of money with Next buying furniture for my house. Slight problem in that we couldn't get the sofa through the door. Obviously not Nexts fault, but has meant that we have to hire a glazier to take off the front window to get the sofa in.
So I rang next and asked if they could give me a specific time, so that I could make sure my partner and the glazier were available. Apparently they don't do that all they can tell me is if the delivery will be in the morning or evening. So I asked if they could delivery it on a specified morning - surprise surprise they don't do that either! I just have to wait and see if there are other deliveries on the same day and then they'll deliver to me.
I then sent a letter of complaint and the reply was a polite sorry your not happy but this is how we do it - so tough!
I did wonder if my expectations were too much so I looked at other companies delivery polices and most of them will let you pick a specific time and date for delivery- some charge others don't - but still available.
I will not be buying from them again!
I went to order a dining room table which my GF found on their website. Tried to order the table to only find out it would take 21 WEEKS! ...... but the dining chairs were ready now. Shocking, considering we had to wait 6 months for bedside tables last year. SO we have to wait from now (May) to October until they arrive. Now I appreciate high demand but they are not being delivered from the moon so why the hell do we have to wait that long. Unsatisfactory and just damn right ridiculous.
Never had any problems with the deliveries. Excellent customer service.
Very good clothes. Thanks.
Love Next's clothes/footwear range but also their Home range. I nearly always use Next when purchasing items for around the house. Although some items are rather expensive they are well worth the money. The website is easy to navigate but I also love visiting the stores. I've used the next flowers service once before too which I was extremely impressed with and would definitely use again. As you can tell I have no faults with this company and highly recommend them.
Ordered flowers for mothers day. Not the flowers described or shown on image in any way because some were missing and cheaper flowers substituted. Also badly arranged in my opinion. Poor for the money paid. That little bit of extra effort and attention would have made the difference rather than bang them out quickly for the profits. Spent a lot with Next over the years!
I brought items and got double of everything from next and got it delivered to my house. Returned all of the items that was cloned because it would cost me. Went to a next store to return the items. When I waited for a few days nothing when into my account called them to find out that there no evidence of me returning all my items. I gave them the receipt number and was like oh yes you did return it and there be the refund. I then waited for 30 days nothing in my bank account so I called them again and they said oh what happens is the money stays on your online account unless you say you want it on your debit card. How cheeky was that. Making interest on my money while not bothering to tell me about it. The customer service team are either really good or so annoying that you want to hang up. I will never buy anything from next again. Robbed in daylight. Never going to do business with them again.
Used numerous occasion and rarely had a problem, however when I have they have sorted out issues immediately.
Few orders placed from them never arrived due to poor courier service, however if you dint receive your goods, Next will make sure you keep waiting for good few weeks before outcome. However quality is great and items are reasonably prices. Customer service is good too!
First off, one thing I truly hate about Next is that, when you make a purchase on their website, you seem to automatically be given a credit account with a limit on it...which then shows up on your credit report as an agreement. Why can I not just buy the stuff I want like I do on any other retail website, I don't want a credit account!
Now to the major issues...Next's home delivery service. In preparation for a house move, my wife and I made three orders on the same day in a Next store for sofas, beds, units, etc, etc. The store assistant was great to be honest, making the order process very simple - from that point on it all went wrong.
The first delivery failed to show up despite Next having notes on the system of a conversation I had to arrange the delivery. Seems the person I had spoken with simply forgot to schedule the delivery - and I'd taken a day out of work for this.
The rearranged first delivery showed up on time but had the wrong items. A two-part bed had one part from the range we ordered and the second part from a completely different range. This first delivery was finally successful on the third attempt following a complaint, with me taking further time out of work.
The second delivery was actually successful, but the third (sofas) became farcical. The sofas we ordered were subject to a short (5 week) lead time, one of the primary reasons we purchased them. At the time the shop assistant had informed we should call to arrange delivery, we were told the sofas were still not available and were simply fobbed off with "supplier issues". We were also told that a letter had been sent to us earlier - which we'd never received.
After more to'ing-and-fro'ing with Next's call centre we were eventually told the sofas wouldn't be available until December, a full TEN weeks after we placed the order. For a specified original lead time of 5 weeks this was unacceptable...so we (eventually) got Next to agree to providing us with a loan sofa. This duly arrived but was too big to get into our house - by about 1 inch. The sofa was fully assembled so removing the feet would have solved the issue but were promptly told by the delivery guys "we're not allowed to remove the feet". WHAT THE?!
Yet more phonecalls between my wife and the call centre led to another loan sofa being sent to us. This time was even better than the first:
- The local delivery guy somehow got lost (sat-nav, maps on smartphone?!) which resulted in me having to direct him while he was driving
- Upon arrival he had his two kids with him. This, according to Next, was arranged as a "two-man delivery crew"
- This led to me having to help the delivery man lug the loan sofa into the house and try to get it up the stairs....and would you believe it was AGAIN too big (even with the feet off) despite the fact we'd fully instructed Next that a SMALL sofa was required. As nice as the delivery guy was and as much effort as he put in, his efforts led to damage being made to the walls in our house.
Enough was enough so we cancelled the order and escalated our complaint as high as possible. But this was STILL not dealt with sufficiently and my wife continued to be passed from pillar to post speaking with multiple people to actually try and get anything done...most of whom seemed to spend their time having the same conversation rather than using the (now essay-sized) notes regarding all of the troubles we'd faced.
After noting Next staff's email address format we eventually had enough of all the incompetence and looked up Next's directors, trying out applying their names to the email format to get through to them. It worked...and (surprise, surprise) things were then dealt with swiftly and efficiently over the next few days to resolve the complaints and compensate us for all the associated phone call costs, emotional distress, wasted time off work, wall damage, etc.
How can a company of this stature can get things SO wrong? How can it be that to actually get anywhere with complaints resolution we ended up having to contact directors? It's beyond me...and quite simply a disgrace.
Since this debacle we've been to DFS and bought a sofa. Swift, efficient, great communications, on-time delivery to the specified lead time...fantastic! I'd suggest you do the same if you ever consider buying a sofa from Next. As for Next...avoid, avoid, AVOID. I'm not even going there to buy socks anymore...
I love Next's products for the Home as well as their clothes. They are made from lovely fabrics, are long-lasting and are in the sizes as displayed. Clothes fit nicely and are always up-to-date with fashion.
Even though a bit pricey at times, I would like more sales with real discounts and to cater to the British sizes more seeing as most are a size 12-14 now.
I place my order. Receive an error message and asked to re-do order which I do. 30min later I receive two emails that I have now apparently have placed two orders. I immediately call up to cancel but not possible and since I was paying upfront and not on account I now have to pay for returns. Totally unacceptable practice.
Fair enough, the stores require a form if ID to collect a catalogue item you've chosen to be delivered to the store to save the nearly £4 delivery charge to home. They e-mail you and they ring you until you present yourself at the cash desk. In these days of smartphones and e-mail you'll be basically accused of being a terrorist if you don't have with you a little slip of blue and white paper with your account number. It doesn't matter that you can show them your own e-mail on your iPhone and that you present your card licence with your mugshot. That should be enough. It's 2012.
When we're looking for security guards for the Olympics or Border Control at Heathrow then the staff on the desk at Next are waiting for the call. How patronising can someone on minimum wage be towards another human being collecting a £25 pair of jeans? Very. Get a life.
I am trying to buy maternity clothes and as Next don't seem to offer any in their shops I went online. I placed the order specifying I did NOT want a catalogue, then I went through to the payment pages it had automatically added one and then there was no way whatsoever to remove it. I tried to place the order on the phone and they insist on a credit check - seeing as I wanted to pay on the phone and not open a credit account this seemed completely unnecessary. Will be shopping for my maternity clothes elsewhere after such a waste of my time.
Ordering online was much easier, especially with available sizes.
However, there are a few improvements I would suggest:
1. Some of the imagery is not sufficient for you to see the product. It was only because I had been in store that I knew what the product actually looked like. For example, with the occasion suits, you are offered things like shirts on the same page, with no detailed images of the shirts being worn without the suit jacket.
2. The navigation on the site looks good, but makes it difficult to see the difference between certain products. It's a pain to have to go through various frames of what is effectively a flash banner just to get to the correct product. Great for mindless browsing, not so good for finding what you want.
3. Charging shipping on a £130 order is a bit cheeky. From all the online shopping I have done, I have found even where shipping isn't free (it normally is), it is at least free for higher value orders (e.g. over £50 or over £100).
4. While I like the idea of not being charged for your product until you are happy with it, it makes the ordering process confusing. It also tries to lure you into subscribing to the magazine without making recurring charges clear. Also, there seems to be no option to pay the amount straight away - it seems you need to wait for a statement. I guess you are working on the fact that people may forget to pay for their goods, allowing you to charge interest?
Quality of the products were good. Shipping was on time so no complaints on that side.
after shopping for Next online and in store for many years and spending thousands, i am seriously thinking of closing my account. The vip sale was just a digrace, i had 20 or so items looked out and all ready to go at my alocated time. Ah but Next forgot to mention that 99% of the items would be to fit a dwarf or a giant with no stock left for the average person. I think it was just a way for next to get rid of all the crap left in there stock with no real bargins there at all.
ps. i would like next to define VIP because it certainly is not very important person

Use next for clothes and homewear. I have collected from the store and each time they ask for different things to prove my identity...weird.
I get an email stating one thing, when I get to the store, its another thing. Get your act together! They do have nice things though, and reasonably priced
Great quality and selection of clothing, site could be a bit easier to navigate though!
I lov next, they do everything I could possibly need and I can clothe all my kids there :) I love how you can order up till 9pm for next day delivery just what people ned
Next offers nice stuff at reasonable prices. The website is easy to use.
The delivery service is the worst I have ever come across and the customer service response, whilst always courteous, totally ineffecrtive. 8 phone calls when item failed to materialise on a next day delivery for two weeks and then 12 automatically generated and conflicting delivery advices, culminating in a confirmation that it was now duly cancelled as well past its required date- and the wretched thing turns up. Delivery company lied and lied. I will never use this company again.
Staff are always brilliant and I always shop elsewhere fist but always find myself returning to this company. Thanks.
Another of the websites, who's search facility is poor... Don't find what you search for unless you do a page by page search through the online catalogue.
I love this company, fast deliveries and returns. Very good customer service I could shop in there all day, everyday. Very friendly website, they respond to most of their reviews left by customers. The majority of things that I have purchased are of very good quality. They are professional, and seem to value their customers which is refreshing.
I was trying to find a new shirt using their website and gave up after 10 minutes. It is utterly rubbish. Luckily I was passing by a shop so could pop in - they have a good range and reasonable prices for ok quality. It's just the website doesn't seem to show all items they stock in store.
I've just signed for yet another delivery on behalf of my wife. Our local Next delivery lady is very good, on the odd days she doesn't deliver something from Next she'll ring the door just to make sure we're OK.
Buy all my work stuff from here and my boy's clothes- have bought them from newborn through to 13-15 and they have never disappointed :) bonus of next day delivery.
I recently opened an account with Next and was really disappointed. I ordered some cultery £40+ (inc delivery) and they looked like i got the from poundland. The cheeeeeeapest plastic decor you could imagine on cheap plastic handles.
I had to send them back asap and of course I had to pay for the return as well.
Now the only thing that I'll order from them is flowers!!!!!
It is an awesome online shopping place. The customer service is very very helpful. And the items are really nice. I like it a lot!
If you're looking for quality clothes for children then Next is definitely the place to go. The prices are good value considering how long the clothes tend to last for, and you can usually flog them on for a decent price once your children have finished with them.
I always find the mens wear section a bit limited though so they lose one star for that! And the home stuff is very expensive
Love the fact that you are buying on credit which you can pay off almost any time you want... Great opportunity for people who want to buy something NOW, but will have a money, let's say, next week.
Quick delivery and free returns. GREAT!
Love this shop for my kids clothes. The styles they come up with are great. The sales I love and love next day delivery too
Very good online shop. Accurate measures, so it is easy to order.

This week's entry to A Blog of Games is posted, taking a look at some of the nastier elements of a possible Intrigue, inspired by Episode 4 of Season 3, A Game of Thrones. SPOILER ALERT: Spoilers ahead. Proceed with caution.
A Blog of Games : Season 3, Episode 4: "A One-Handed Kingslayer"
More than once, Green Ronin has been accused of having "an agenda" when it comes to its published products. Now, it's no secret that the owners and core of Team Ronin skews to the left politically and socially but, generally speaking, I can't think of any products where those personal beliefs took precedence over accurately portraying the genre and style of the game or setting in question. Yes, elements of Blue Rose are quite socially progressive, but that's the nature of the Romantic Fantasy genre the game looks to emulate. Is Testament promoting a "Fundamentalist agenda"? Does Freeport: City of Adventure promote piracy? Does Legions of Hell mean Green Ronin is secretly run by heavy-metal Satanists? All those and many other products don't have any "agenda" beyond being interesting game books. They may not all interest the same audience, but that sort of diversity is a good thing.
That's where we hit upon my one and only "agenda" when it comes to writing and developing game books and settings: inclusiveness. It's no secret: I'm gay and have been out for longer than I've been "in" at this point, and I'm looking forward to June's Pride events and marching in the Boston Pride Parade, as I have for the past several years. I know what it's like to be on the outside, and so do a lot of gamers, in one fashion or another. In fact the "gamer as outsider" is so archetypal it has become stereotype.
Last year at GenCon, I was privileged to sit on a panel for a seminar we called "Queer as a Three-Sided Die" to talk about sexual minorities (gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, etc.) in gaming. My fellow panelists and I had no idea how it would go over. As it turned out, the room was packed, and the event was recorded on video for YouTube! The audience helped to remind us how far we've come, but also how far we have to go. Depictions of trans- people are still at the point where those of gay characters were a couple of decades ago. Online communities like Gaming as Women and the documentary project Gaming in Color show there are strong, and often unacknowledged, parts of our "tribe".
Several years ago, my Green Ronin colleagues adopted the nickname "The Johnny Rocket Fan Club" for the various "gaymers" who would stop by our booth to thank me for including an openly gay character in the Freedom City setting. I've gotten emotional fan letters from gay readers of my Shadowrun novels who appreciated the matter-of-fact handling of Talon the street mage having male romantic interests. Might not seem like a big deal (unless you think I'm pushing "my agenda") but to some of them it was the first time they looked at a heroic adventure setting and saw themselves as heroes. So, if I can create a world where someone looking to live out a fantasy can see a reflection of themselves in there somewhere, I'm going to do it, and not just gay characters but women, people of all races, nationalities, ethnicities, religions, and more. That matters a lot to me, and that's my "agenda" in as much as I have one: In our worlds, we can all be heroes.

In today's A Blog of Games entry, Joe Carriker dives into the inner working of the Small Council, and provides in-game benefits of holding a position therein. Contains possible spoilers!
Our Dragon Age Set 3 Class Previews come to a close with the Mage. By higher levels, Mages in Dragon Age possess vast mystical power capable of destroying hordes of lesser foes. Where Warriors use martial skill and physical power and Rogues rely on finesse and stealth, the Mage uses their knowledge and will to bend magic to their will and fight off the dangers of the Fade.
Mages get even more mystical power to call on. Spells like Death Hex, Inferno, and Earthquake as well as new magic school specific stunts will help high-level mages channel devastating power. New specializations come in the form of Shapeshifter, Force Mage, and Keepers. Shapeshifters can change into various beasts to give them close combat abilities they might otherwise lack. Force Mages possess an array of telekinetic and force powers that can shatter foes and protect allies. Keepers give elven mages a chance to utilize primal forces as only they can. Talents include Runecrafting, which lets a mage enchant items with powerful runes that provide a variety of effects. Bonus powers include the ability to fire off multiple arcane lance attacks or boost their affinity with schools or certain stunts even higher.
Well, that's it for our Class Preview. Hope you enjoyed a glimpse at just some of the things coming in Set 3 to help GMs and players move their play to higher levels. We'll see you in Thedas!
The Chronicle System is what we call the "engine" that "powers" our A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying system. Though we have no plans at current to divorce the system from the setting of Martin's Westeros, we would like to expand on it some. To that end, we've been working on a series of PDF releases under the Chronicle System banner.
In many ways, these products are for our fan-base, who have always wanted some expansions to the system. We've talked to folks on the forums and in person and the results of those conversations are the Chronicle System products in the works.
But, we figured we'd take that community participation one step further. Not just in terms of what product ideas you'd find useful, but also its specific contents. This week, I posted the first of our Community Development posts in our Chronicle System Community Development forum, a subforum under our A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying forum. In it, we've presented a whole expansion to a favorite system of rules for the game: the Holdings element of House-building.
The intention behind doing so is simple: we want your feedback. What will be useful to your game? What is flavorful? What inspires you and what leaves you flat? We'd love your feedback on as macro or micro a level as you care to share, knowing that your contributions are going to be put to serious consideration and implementation by the developer. Obviously, not every idea can be used, but I'll be mining the conversations for the very best ideas.
Over the coming weeks, we'll be presenting more and more chunks of this PDF for scrutiny and discussion, so that the final product isn't just something that our fans want, but something that our fans helped make. It should be something everyone really wants to get their hands on—those ideas that will help your game, as developed by those of us who create the game system.
At this point, it's an experiment—we'll see how this goes. But if it works, who knows? We might like the process so much that we do it again in the future.
As always, thanks for reading, and thanks for playing.
