Kate Middleton spotted at Goring Hotel for their 105th anniversary
Yesterday, Kate Middleton attended a lunch at the Goring Hotel to mark it's reopening after some renovations and it's 105th anniversary. She was there having received a private invitation. This was a private visit and not a part of her official duties. As we know, the Goring Hotel is where Kate and the Middletons stayed the night before Kate's wedding to Prince William on April 29, 2011.
The Duchess of Cambridge attends Goring lunch yesterday wearing (non maternity) Erdem. http://t.co/mpEB2cTIiV
— Rebecca English (@RE_DailyMail) March 3, 2015
Kate wore a pink and purple floral dress from Erdem, the "Darla", from the Resort 2013 Collection, which retailed for $1,518. The dress is NOT maternity wear. The dress also features a cut-out back. There are no pictures of the back of Kate's dress, but because she is almost eight months pregnant and she most likely wouldn't go for a cut-out back in general but especially when she's pregnant, I am inclined to think this is a bespoke version of this dress. I'm thinking the dress would have been altered to accommodate her pregnancy belly (because if she wore a non-maternity dress in a size large enough to accommodate her belly, the seems at the shoulders would not be on the shoulder because the top would be far too big, and that's not the case with this dress), and to close up the cut-out in the back. It's possible, since it's from the 2013 collection, that Kate has had this dress since when she was pregnant with George and we've just never seen it. Either way, Kate's dress would have cost way more than the $1500 original retail price.
Kate wore her Alexander McQueen navy suede pumps, carried her Stuart Weitzman Muse clutch, and wore her non-identified aquamarine and diamond earrings.

59 Comments on Kate Middleton spotted at Goring Hotel for their 105th anniversary
I really hate sounding so negative about her all the time, but she just doesn't seem to get it. She looked horrible, the dress was not right. If she was as exhausted as she appeared she (Rebecca) should have sent her regrets, which she doesn't hesitate to do with her charities. But this is a party so she had to turn up. Also a good way to pull the focus from your husbands tour of China. Sometimes I wish I could just get my hands on her and shake her. But I'm afraid I'd hear what's left of her brain rattling around in her empty head.
A few points:
-she didn't wear or even bring a coat. In March? Weird.
-even though it was a "private" event, Rebecca Deacon is behind her in the pics. Why?
-wasnt there talk of the Goring sending a bartender to Mustique for Carole's birthday? Was this their payment?
-girlfriend looks rough. Bad hair, bad skin, bad dress, no smile. Maybe she was having a bad day, it happens. Maybe she's hating her life in general.
– Not sure how the weather is there, but no coat in March sounds perfectly acceptable: isn't it close to summer already?
-Rebecca is her PERSONAL assistant. Maybe she needs her in case of emergencies (she is pregnant after all).
-I thought the rumour about a huge party in Mustique was for another guy's birthday, not Carole? Maybe she just wanted to go, get out of the house not working.
-bad hair, bad skin. She spent the better part of her 20s in nightclubs and beaches. It's expected. I wonder if she's doing any skin care regime for this. Girl looks old beyond her years. Also this is a papshot, she doesn't have to smile for them.
Of course Rebecca is needed to be with Kate at a private luncheon and every "lady who lunches" always takes along her PA? Is this the new black?
Lisa, I agree, the 'dress is horrible' and dated (more like curtains). That dress seem off – it's still very cold out.
Waity also was well enough to show up for a family commercial luncheon (contrary to HM and BRF Tradition, not to sponsor one business to another); and the middletons' fake PR according to sources that waity was taken in early labor …to that effect).
May be a set up by Km and carol middletons for km to avoid the appearances with the RF at the CW Service, and the war Memorial events with HM. HM and Km are at odds about the care and raising of Prince George and the new baby nanny with carole staying out of the family affairs.
.This is the first .wealthy, abundance of the highest quality resources and care, pampered , privileged woman who behaves as if pregnancy is an illness. I feel the Lord / nature works in wonderful ways – a lazy, lack service to regular needy man – has to make 'an effort' with the Gift of Life (no to mention P George is demanding and busy!).
But Km do look worried and sad (Prince William too); something serious is on the horizon (after the baby).
I loved this dress i think she was beautiful in it this time and finally showing her bump and its clearly its a girl this time but i still have sure she will due in march!!!(sorry for bad english again!)
My grandmother called and would like her couch cover back. I really am not liking these heavy floral print dresses Kate has been wearing lately. IMO, they are way too busy and completely overwhelm her. Not meaning to be super snarky here but what is with her posture? I realize she's pregnant and all but the rounded shoulders just aren't a good look on anyone.
Again, poor William, he is hardly getting any press coverage while on his solo tour but his wife walks out a door and it's all over the news. I wonder if this will cause the same jealousy that his dad had?
Lastly, if I ever make it to London, the Goring hotel is one place I would love to visit. I've read a bit about their high tea and it sounds simply smashing.
She has always had poor posture.
I can recommend the high tea at The Dorchester. Special tea blends, yummy salmon sandwiches, great scones and a truely wonderful selection of patisserie. The service is impeccable as well. They do have a 6 week reservation period though.
ArtHistorian, I am going to be in London next fall. Is The Dorchester the best place for high tea? Do they treat foreigners okay? I am going with my husband, so I want to make sure its a decent place for him as well.
I haven't really tried high tea at other hotels but The Dorchester is a 5 star hotel that caters to an international clientele. They are known for their impeccable service so I don't think that you have anything to worry about – though you might want check to see if jacket and tie is required.
Have fun in London, there so many great things to see.
I believe that the Victoria and Albert Museum has collection of tiaras on display if you're into that kind og bling.
Wow she looks miserable. And her skin is quite wrinkly. It's photos like this that convince me she has Botox when she's not pregnant.
I cannot believe that she spent USD 1500.00 on that dress. It's so cheap looking and creased- it looks like something from Primark. She really frustrates me; she lives in one of the most fashionable cities in the world, has tons of money and resources, and yet she always manages to look frumpy and out of style. The fact that people think of her as some kind of a trend-setter really amazes me.
You said it!
I know that for the first year or so after the wedding I loved Kate's style, so anti-Kardashian. But since George I feel like she is struggling to find her fashion footing, like she can't decide if she is a frumpy matron or a "yummy mummy".
its amazing all the shopping and wealth this is the best by a young, public wife of ,… can do. There are so many royal role models – HM QEll DOC her PoW Diana – to current marry in – CP Mary, (P Victoria and Madeline (with respect increasing from her 'work' presence in NY), to the Queens – Leticia, Raina, Maxima (marry in..).
Waity is hardly of value to HM /BRF, in service- Duties to the people – Traditions and representing HM, UK GB/CW. Prince William with his warp plans -avoiding his duties'/laziness – has done so much dis service and damage to luxury pampered life by marrying the middletons.
Looking like she's not feeling all that great 🙁
I agree with the majority of above posters, the dress is too busy, too fussy, too…something. It's not youthful. Her hair is so terribly unbecoming. As someone above mentioned, with all the time, money and resources at her fingertips, wouldn't you think she'd look better than this?
All I can say is wow. If she wants any goodwill, she needs to work versus going to "private" events like this. Their cries of being "normal" are getting old to me. How many "normal" people get to visit The Goring, or Mustique, or the Maldives? None. And based on the economic times in the UK, it is ill timed and in poor taste.
I wonder if she was obligated to show so the Goring would get the press – the Middletons racked up quite a bill. It's not like she has anything else on her calender like work or anything. You ever wonder how people know where Kate is? I wonder if Goring staff tipped off the press.
I got my daily snark in. I feel much better.
The dress is nice but it looks terrible on her because it has straight seams meant to lengthen her torso, and seven mths pregnant needs wrapping. Glad she's showing her bump; can we petition for a new Kate stylist? Maybe we should all collaborate on a letter to Jason. We could add the point about seeing POW PG more than once a century.
Great idea Sugar! Yes, maybe a petition is just the thing to get Kate a new stylist, and hairdresser too?
Wouldn't it be nice if Jason had a red phone and we could ring him up? No point talking to Kate unless someone dresses up like Mummy all Norman Bates. PW might want to hide the sizzors, I wonder if Kate is unhinged at all from all the years of trying to please Carole? If she snapped, PW would blame us instead of himself for being an idiot.
Hi Sugar! Red Phone for Jason? Brilliant idea – can it flash when we need his attention urgently? Like on the "Batman" TV series from the '70s?
Totally Agree. Other sources have stated 'they do troll and watch the blogs, twitter, etc'… (21st Century communicating at work).
We do need more Prince George… If P Will Line survive (IF!!), PG do not belong to the carole middleton and buckleberry only – Prince George belongs to BRF /UK, GB, CW, the subjects need access via the media, etc. That's how the Monarchy remains relevant.
If only that hair mess was out of the way she would look more presentable, and those hands running through that hair mess, geez kate when wil she get it!??
Oh, I so hope KMR is correct and the dress was not featuring a cut-out in the back. If not, she is seriously deranged. I hated the print, too. Loved the comment "My grandmother wants her couch cover back." Kate did look tired and not in the best of spirits. So, why go?
I am getting to be a true whiner, but I am so tired of Kate, a woman who has everything and more in her life, not doing much of anything to help others, support good causes with more than an appearance, and getting high praise from most of the media just for putting on a dress and smiling.
Ugh, her hair, too! Please, someone: Tell her to cut it and style it. She's just a mess.
For all that it's a private visit, how much do you want to bet that this will be included to inflate her official "work" tallies at the end of the year?
I think the dress is quite pretty – busy but would be fine with a plain jacket. However, I really don't like that she always wears such high heels which is so unwise during pregnancy and could endanger the baby.
In the photo where she's flirting with the camera, she is rewarded with photoshop.
The way her hair is covering her face it's like she's hiding.
Her hair covers her face 99% of the time we see her.
She's doing her "chin down, eyes up" impression of Diana. If she didn't want to be seen, she wouldn't have been. No photos from her cousin's wedding proves they can sneak her in and out of hotels unseen. Like the old days when the club owners would offer to sneak her out the back. She'd re-do her makeup and deliberately walk out the front to the photographers.
Diana did that as well. She complained that she didn't want to go through the back because why should she give up the normalcy of walking out the front door?
idk these people *shrug*
Its not an event for a visible RF member is to be seen publicly 'promoting' (and while P Will is on an 'important trip'(?).
KM was supposedly at a private … yet the press got news and she was pap at the front door with funded security, doctors, chauffeured, etc. all for a commercial entity. I don't remember pap of her at the retiring doctor's luncheon – who delivered Prince George. His retirement luncheon should be pap/in the media, not Goring Hotel (especially when you're workshy in service to BRF, the needy and charities).
Again, enforcement that the goal of km carol and the middletons – is only to enjoy the luxury, wealth and title from marriage to P Will; and give nothing back to the people and HM.
Of course she's tired – pregnancy is exhausting whether you're Royal or not.
I think the dress is pretty & she's dressed fine for the event – no jacket needed to walk from car – hotel – car.
How much can you really bitch about someone walking quickly to a car? Turns out – quite a lot, from reading these comments.
It may well be she was told to attend to generate some media for Wills tour. His tour was mentioned & featured in every article I saw that ran these photos.
I'll criticise when she gets it wrong, equally its only fair to give her the benefit of the doubt occasionally.
My poor sisters!!! They were pregnant while working full time jobs. Dropped their kids at grandpa and grandma's or school before they went to work, picked up their kids after work, cooked dinner, tutored their kids, went to bed. In the morning, made breakfast and lunch, dropped their kids off and it went on and on…Not to mention soccer, piano, doctor, dentist… They wished they had a nanny, servants to clean the house and a maid to cook.
Man, I am tired just typing the above!!!! I suppose the privileged have problems too.
Love it Beatrice! I got up at 5 this morning, did college work, got kids off to school, got work done, ran errands, made 2 meals- 1 for pot luck, 1 for home, kids off bus, more work done, kid off to event, did homework with another, home at 9 pm, cleaned up everyone in bed, put laundry up and typing this. Doing again tomorrow. @JL- our comments are directed at the duh points that Kate misses and the press makes excuses for, such as -take 2 seconds, look in a mirror, and touch up if needed. Wear a dress that fits. Does she need Mommy to tell her everything?
Poor baby – Pregnancy is not an illness and especially to a pampered, workless royal with the greatest resources, tons of staff and nannies at her fingertips.
An insult to us working mothers (long hours work schedule, commuting), who do everything for our families with love.
I'm going to keep repeating this in case one of her people actually sees it: Long bob haircut! Long bob haircut! Oh my gosh it would look so much prettier!
Oh, I so agree with you, Pippa looks great with her lob (long bob). I'd love to see her hair cut about 10 inches and straightened.
So here is what I find interesting:
On her public engagement she wears loose clothes, here she wears a tight fitting dress. Also, no coat to cover up, which leads me to believe she wanted people to see her in this dress. She is wearing a non-maternity dress at 8 months pregnant. That has to make her feel good. She knew all the papers would write about that. We all know Kate does not like her pregnant figure and this is a way to get praise about how good she looks. Of course I am assuming, but it just seems like a way to fish for a compliment since she is so insecure.
Not to be argumentative, but if she was fishing for compliments, she would have done a better job with her hair and makeup and smiled. I wonder if she was fishing for sympathy. "Brave Kate attends function while William is in China – how does she cope?!!1! "
I am sure she wanted sympathy comments too since William is away. But I mean fishing for compliments on how great her figure looks. The fact that she is 8 months pregnant and still able to wear normal clothes (even though they are altered). She needs reassurance that her body is still amazing.
Overit, you are spot on! Kate adores being "adored" for looking so tiny when pregnant. Wearing maternity clothes is not her thing. Squeezing into a non-maternity number — with help from a seamstress- is what she does best. She is vain beyond belief.
Yes, she looks good. Good for her. But, take a look at Princess Maddie, who seems to shine during her pregnancies. I know people are different, but Kate is so body conscious. If she could flash during her pregnancy, I believe she would.
What a shame Kate has decided to ruin an expensive dress by stretching it over a "preggy belly".
Also shame on Kate for pulling the media's attention away from William while he is away on tour. We all saw lots of this passive-aggressive behavior from Diana when she was manipulating the media. Where is the support for her husband?
If Kate was going to a private event there was no need for her to make it so public (and for the paps). As another person said, she managed to slip into her cousin's wedding without a single photo being taken.
Or was this a duty PR moment – for the Goring Hotel?
I did wonder how Kate's parents would have paid for the huge bill that must have been run up pre wedding. I wondered how many over priced Pound Shop type items would have to be sold on Party Pieces to pay the bill. Maybe the Middletons are "paying" the bill by having Kate turn up for Goring events. Having Kate come will always bring the paps?
Goring got huge publicity for the wedding. It is likely, they got the hotel for free.
Prince Charles, the Duchy paid all!!
Carol all the middletons cashing in and cementing the connection with Goring from the royals (as HM is disgusted by); re the middletons personal gains/future use.
Will The Goring be changing its name soon to "The Royal Goring"?
More like "The Middleton"
I like the dress. And Lauri from CA, I often wear "grandma's couch cover".:)) Just that it doesn't fit her pregnant body well. The excess fabric pooling at the hollow part of the chest is terrible. And 1.5K for the dress, man this is where I have problems with the Royal family. The Hollywood stars can wear anything, however expensive they want, they earned their money.
The true light from the sun doesn't do anyone justice even someone with the most beautiful skin, in my opinion. Your make up has to be extremely fine and the camera catches you at the right angle. In the picture where her hair blocked some of the sunlight out, I saw less wrinkles on the same face and she did look a bit better.
Hi Beatrice,
I agree with you, bright sunlight doesn't do anyone any favors. She did look better when her face was shaded by her hair.
I think Kate looks fine. Tired, but appropriate for the event and not showing any body parts, thank goodness. The bigger question really is WHY was she "spotted?" Obviously, she wanted to be. This situation is exactly like the one in NYC when she and W "forgot" their umbrella and "had" to use one largly emblazoned with the name of the hotel they where they were staying. It's all about publicity for the Hotel. We have all known for quite some time that W and K don't do anything when there is not something in it for them. Put it together, folks. Do other royals sell out like this? Okay, yeah, Andrew and Fergie. Anyone else? I honestly don't know, may be it's a common thing. W and K are trying to be subtle, but not it's not working on me.
Does anyone else think that the Palace orchestrated these photos on purpose? Kate entered through a side door so she could have left the same way in order to avoid photos. The fact that she left through the front door seems to show that her being photographed was intentional. I believe they did it to draw more attention to William's tour which has not been getting much press time. And it helped that Kate was wearing a bright and tight dress to boot. Just my thoughts since the Royals manipulate the media so well.
She looks beautiful! She is getting close to her due date and she has PG at home, so if she looks tired she probably is tired!! Lets give her a break on her clothes and looks when she is so close to delivery. I am just happy that she is out working and not using her pregnancy as an excuse! Poor William….not sure how anyone could be hard on Kate but forgiving of PW!
Working? She is attending a party.
William hides behind his fake job, wife, and child, he is pathetic. But Kate waited and fought for ten long, pathetic years to become mrs. Bill middleton.
They are in this mess together.
CrazyAMG, lazywaity has housekeeper, nanny, chief, gardener and driver! Please enlighten me, what is she tired from? I personally think she is tired from ignorant & stupid mistakes that she continues & creates!
Ignore that crazy person and she's tired from nothing but being in way over her head.
Halia, she is pregnant!
Wow, poor Kate, talk about a bad day :S
She looks awful.
Yeah, running for my green tea this minute!!!
CrazyAMg, she is a mess!

Be aware that, while my degree covered SOME coursework in the area of nutrition (particularly as it related to exercise), I am by no means an expert. I carry no credentials in dietetics, and it is beyond the scope of my current level of education to make any dietary prescriptions. With that said, I can still provide some advice for sensible eating as well as share some of what has worked for me. The biggest thing, at the end of the day, is to find what keeps YOU the healthiest!
Now it needs to be said that I'm in many ways your lazy college guy. I don't like to cook for myself. I like things that are quick and easy. Give me more than three ingredients to mix together, and I'll usually try to find a different solution. My philosophy on diet has more to do with throwing together some things that are practical and tasty than on religiously following any one rule. Some of the foods that I choose are quite far into the "healthy" end of things. But others are more of a lesser-of-the-evils approach. Once again, I just try to be sensible!

As the title suggests, this will be a photo heavy post.
So, let's start with my dye session from a few weeks ago. I had mentioned dyeing sock yarn and roving – I had posted the roving but not the yarn! This yarn is a Merino Sport Sock dyed in a colorway I am calling Stratosphere, I have two skeins available.
I actually am knitting a pair of baby socks with it right now – it's knitting up nicely and I am wishing I had taken better notes during the dyeing session :) I am taking notes on the baby socks will post the pattern as soon as possible.
(photo coming soon)
Did I mention the BFL I spun? I know I mentioned when I dyed it and I might have mentioned that I was spinning it up – no? Well I did spin up some singles –
then I knit up a pair of Saartje's Bootees for my soon-to-arrive niece:
They are sooo cute, aren't they? Surprisingly this pattern is super easy, knit flat in garter stitch and then seamed. Anyone can knit these purties up and I strongly suggest this knit for the Spring for Babies KalCal!
So, after knitting these booties I still had quite a lot of yarn left, so I plied it up and plan to knit another pair or two for the growing babe ;)
So then I went on and dyed some more roving – this time it was Merino and for a secret Spin Swap for the Monthly Adventures Group in Ravelry. As of this post, the recipient has not yet recieved, so I only post the wet roving in the sink at the moment:
Shopping for swaps is always a lot of fun and often a source of pain (to the purse) as we often tend to do the 'one for you, one for me'. I did manage to stay within our budget (have I mentioned that we have a swap budget in MA?), so I am quite please with myself and I even managed not to buy (too much) for myself. ;) I picked up a WIP gauge from KaratStix and a gorgeous Orifice Hook.
I also dyed some Finn top up. It was one of those surprises as the end result is not what I had envisioned, but it still came out rather lovely – a deep blue with variants throughout. I reserved 2 oz of the Finn to be blended with some Mohair, which had been gifted to me from Tnsinko (Linda), a fellow spinner who I 'met' in Ravelry. The wool is presently being spun for socks… I am only guessing that Finn will create a soft and durable sock and that the addition of Mohair in some of the yarn will make for iron toes and heels. What do you think?
In addition to the Mohair, Linda also sent various samples of her Romney sheep, which she raises for her own spinning pleasure ~ Lucky Gal! I am so very grateful to have made a new friend, Linda you are wonderful! Linda sent over 2 oz of processed Romney from her most beloved sheep, Dianthus. I have spun it up and am planning a special project for it ;)
(excuse the dark photo)
So what else? … Ah, the kids have spent some time spindling. I managed to remember to whip out the camera toward the end of the last session… this one is of DS1, spinning up some BFL he had dyed with Kool-Aid. This is the same son who fashioned a spindle out of Legos :)
I knit up a block for our Monthly Adventures BOM KAL. The block will not be added to my planned afghan, however, but is intended to serve as a binkie for my soon-to-arrive niece. It was knit with KnitPicks Crayon, an easy to care for cotton, which I found to be surprisingly soft and not so difficult to work with, for a boucle.
I have already sent the binkie off with the booties and the below socks. Unfortunately I did not take pictures of the finished binkie, I added tags around the edges, just right for teething babes. The socks have a story to go with them, doesn't everything? I will attempt to be brief. Last July my DS3 was born, the entire pregnancy was complicated as was the delivery – – I will not go into details, this just isn't the place.
Bottom line, the Doctor who delivered my son, saved his life. I was and am so deeply grateful and wanted to express this as any knitter would – I wanted to knit him a pair of socks. So, I cast on a week after DS3 was born and I scooted right along and then I stopped. I was at the point where I might start decreases for the toe on a Men's size Medium… you can see where I am going with this…
I had no idea what his foot size is and just couldn't bring myself to ask him. I did make a 'fake' appointment with him, just to try and get a visual… no luck, those shiny shoes really threw me off. So, I made a wine basket, stuffed with crackers and chocolates and wine of course! And the socks have sat in my UFO basket all this time. Well, enter a Sock KAL hosted by fellow MAer Sulkycat and I suddenly find those socks and finish them, intending to send them to Laura, the soon-to-be-Mommy. I think the socks will be nice and cushy for her tired feet in the weeks ahead.
Speaking of Sulkycat's Sock KAL, I had to decide which pattern I wanted to knit up. At first, I thought I would knit the Heelless Sleeping Sock from Knitting Vintage Socks, but I decided to go with a lace sock and learn a new-to-me technique, Magic Loop. I am going to knit, in fact I will cast on just as soon as I finish this post, Unst in Knit Picks Essential, Green Apple. The color is almost exactly the same as the color shown in Knitting on the Road. I chose these socks because I wanted something 'Springy' – we are all beckoning Spring in our own ways, aren't we?
This past week, I have dyed 6 skeins of yarn. At the moment, I am waiting for the to dry, then I will take photos and post them in the Shop by next week's post – stay tuned….

Hello, my name is Roxanne D. Howard, and I write contemporary erotic romance.
Please enjoy this interview with Molly Ivers, the main character in my newest book, Chicks Dig the Accent, an erotic modern-day fairy tale, loosely based on Cinderella.
Art of Molly and Evan below by Bianca Duarte.
1. Tell us about yourself.
My name is Molly Ivers. I'm twenty-four, and living in Detroit, Michigan with my best friend Nell. We share an apartment together. I'm finishing up grad school and about to move to Paris.
2. Do you have any nicknames?
Yep, Nell calls me Molls, and Evan Castle, my friend and downstairs neighbor, calls me Ivers.
3. If you were a Star Wars® character, which one would it be?
I think I'd probably be Luke Skywalker, from A New Hope. I am at that point in my life where I want to get off of Tattooine and stretch my Force muscles, so to speak. I am looking forward to my internship in Paris and in starting a new chapter in my life!
4. When is your birthday?
February 16th. I'm a Pisces. Be gentle. ;)
5. Current relationship status?
It's complicated. There was this… thing with someone I know a while back, but it didn't work out. I just barely broke up with my boyfriend Sean, so I'm kind of at a crossroads right now with everything. Nell thinks that's my cue to party like it's 1999. Ha ha, we'll see.
6. Do you like to sing in the shower?
Occasionally, but I suck at it. Evan, on the other hand, is a lead singer in a rock band, and once in a while I can hear him through the vents while I'm getting ready or in the shower, which is nice! He can seriously sing, and he's good.
7. What's the funniest movie you've ever seen?
Coming to America is pretty damn funny. I miss late eighties Eddie Murphy. I also really loved The Wedding Singer.
8. What mythical creature would you want to be?
Oh, I am a huge history buff and love mythology! I would want to be a Valkyrie. I love how strong the Valkyrie women were depicted. Sort of like if She-Ra and Lady Godiva had a kick-ass child. I'd love to be that strong.
9. Can you fake any accents?
I can do a fake southern accent, but beyond that I stink at it. Nell is really good at imitating her grandmother, who is originally from Jamaica. But I love accents, all kinds. British, Hispanic, French, Australian, you name it.
10. If you could meet anyone from history, who would you meet and why?
Claude Monet. I love art, and his paintings are so beautiful. I'd ask him what it was like growing up in Giverny and what inspired him to become an artist in the first place.
Let us know if you have any questions for Molly in the comments below!

Book Description:
Molly Ivers has always known she'd marry a foreign man with a delicious accent. Six months ago, in a night of unbridled passion, she gave her virginity to her friend and sexy-as-can-be neighbor, rocker Evan Castle. Unfortunately, thanks to his swarm of constant groupies, things didn't work out, but they remained friends. Now, after having just broken up with her boring, run-of-the-mill right-wing boyfriend, she's on the verge of finishing her graduate degree and moving to Paris. She's desperate to shake things up--and find that sexy foreign man.
She's had a crush on Nicholas Sullivan, her British professor, for as long as she can remember. So when opportunity comes knocking to spice up her appearance, in the form of a French life coach, she hires Jean Luc Dubois to help her lbecome more Parisian and hip, to reflect the person she is within. Thanks to Jean Luc's magic, she starts to catch her hunky English prof's eye, but the more time she spends with Evan, the more she begins to realize that her Prince Charming might just be the one she's known all along.

Excerpt #1
"So, you're going through with it?"
"Going through with what?" They both looked into the living room, where a bemused Evan stood half-naked and barefoot in a pair of black pajama bottoms. Molly licked nectar off the peach on the end of her fork to save it from dropping to the floor. Evan's jaw tightened, and his eyes gleamed as he zeroed in on her. He cleared his throat and lifted an empty half gallon of milk. "Sorry, you left the door cracked open. I came to borrow milk."
"Jesus, Evan! Knock next time, or at least text. I'm in my panties!" Nell smacked him on the arm and tugged down her nightshirt as she ran past him into her bedroom.
"Sorry," he said, but he seemed distracted as he strode toward Molly, eyes glued to her lips. She sucked the rest of her peach slice into her mouth and wiped at a little of the nectar at the corner of her lips. Her cheeks blazed at the hungry longing in his eyes. She turned away to open the fridge to get the milk. It wasn't uncommon for them to borrow food from one another, and he always watched out for them. He had a comforting, protective nature she'd gotten used to.
She grew painfully aware of her night shorts, which had a tendency to ride up her butt and cut off at midthigh, and her thin white tank top. Could he see her nipples? And jeez, Louise, why did they have to harden every time he came near her?
She pushed hair out of her face and began to pour the milk into his empty half gallon. "Help yourself to the fruit in the bowl there. Nell had leftovers. How much milk do you want?"
"Enough for a bowl of cereal, please. I'll get some at the store later." She'd only heard his voice drop as low and husky during sex. She stopped after she poured enough milk, then gave him extra.
Evan reached over her to open a nearby drawer. He took out a fork. He inserted it into the flesh of a peach slice and brought it to his lips.
"Forbidden fruit, hmm?"
He teased the fruit around his lips with a wicked smirk. He winked at her and sank his teeth into half the peach as he watched her, licking it. Her mouth went dry. Oh, he knew what he was doing. He chewed, licked his bottom lip, and held out the fork.
"Want some?"
Before she could gain common sense and say no, she closed her eyes and parted her lips. He slid the remaining slice in. Molly closed her mouth around it. He withdrew the fork tines slowly from her closed lips, and his finger grazed her lower lip.
"You've got a bit on your…"
She opened her eyes and sharply inhaled. He'd moved closer, right there, and was about to kiss her. She turned away, burning.

The FusionLug® is a durable, low-voltage-drop termination fabricated from the stranded ends of the cable. Created through Methode's unique process of fusing wire with a copper sleeve, the reliable lug is typically formed using high-strand-count power cable. As the lug is not a separate entity, and the circuit current rating is only limited by the wire.
Custom FusionLug for Battery JumperThe customer needed to link lithium-ion cells to create a battery for an electric car. The links needed to be flexible and low-profile, with a custom hole pattern and a voltage monitoring tap.
Multi-Wire FusionLug Solves Reliability ProblemsMethode improves the reliability of an existing power cable system used to distribute 48VDC to three separate loads.
Router Power Cable from Power Supply to BackplaneOur team of engineers connects a 50A source to a backplane situated around a very sharp corner, and makes the backplane connection both secure and robust.
FusionLug on Flat Braid for Low Inductance AssemblyMethode was tasked with replacing conventional round power cables with a long, flexible, 200A power cable that was both less susceptible to picking up external electrical noise as well as less apt to radiate electrical noise from its switching power supply source, allowing the system to more easily pass conducted and radiated emissions requirements.
The FusionLug is a fully and easily customizable termination lug that can be designed to me your power specifications.

Hey all,
I am a student studying American freshwater mussels. I live in Massachusetts where unfortunately there are not that many mussels to find. I am looking for people who come across the little (sometime not so little) buggers when outdoors. I would love anyone who finds the muskrat middens on the side of the rivers/lakes (or how ever they come across the mussels) to box up a bunch of paired fellas big and small and send them my way. I am only looking for dead/spent shells, not live ones. I collect and study and write about all the different species. I'm not concered about big or small, the more different ones the better. Anyone who would be able to help me with my studies by just picking up a bunch of the ones you find while fishing would be a HUGE help in my studies. I would certainly compensate you for your effort and of course pay for shipping too. The only requirements would be that you provide matching paired (not single) valves and that they are not totally broken (they don't have to be absolutely perfect with no chips at all, but the cleaner with their natural "skin" the better). I've been trying to make contacts with people across the country that naturally run into mussels while out fishing or hiking that might be able to just pick up shells they come across without it being a big hassle for them. I can't thank enough anyone who would consider assisting me with this project. You can contact me through this site or directly at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank You!!!!! And good fishing!!!

In order to be considered for transplant surgery, you must have a significant amount of good quality existing or 'donor' hair. Hair thinning which occurs in one area e.g. the crown is more likely to be suitable for hair transplantation. Unfortunately large areas of total hair loss are not deemed suitable for transplantation as the success rate of re-growth is minimal. You can hire hair transplant in California from http://myhairtransplantmd.com/.
You also need to maintain overall good health and fitness. Hair-transplant is major operation, conducted under local anesthetic using a related retrieval period. For the operation to be an achievement, you ought to stay healthy and fit and you won't suffer any additional major health problems. Additionally, there are age limitations linked with baldness operation. Nominees should be more than 18 but most experienced surgeons won't carry out hair transplant on adults.
That is only because hereditary or natural hair thinning is to happen and also certainly will impact the regrow hairloss. This means in the event that you experience operation, the brand new hair may drop out and it is really a waste of your expenditure! It's well worth noting there are fresh surgical methods involved with baldness. One option is FUE - Follicular Unit Extraction - that ensures that the hairs have been separately extracted from the rear of the mind and re planted round the region.
This is quite a long, pain staking procedure however, the outcome is minimal scarring and quite a natural-looking hair line. This system involves having a bigger area or'strip' of hair from the back part of the mind, dividing it into smaller components after which re planting those components at the desirable part of hair thinning. Scarring could be marginally more conspicuous at the rear of the mind as a bigger area was removed but a skilled surgeon can reevaluate incision marks to guarantee rapid healing.
The skilled, talented and experienced hair transplant surgeons vary widely, as do their results. It is very important that you choose your physician carefully, as your results will last a life time. Make sure to ask around, do some research and choose a hair restoration surgeon that has the skill and experience with the latest transplant techniques. Be patient, in a year or so, no one will remember you once were bald.

Fred works at a local insurance company. He is a good employee: shows up on time, is punctual with his reports, courteous to his customers, and kind to the staff. Lately, however, he "keeps to himself," and likes his door closed when he has a stack of forms to complete. Recently there have been a few lay-offs at his company; Fred is determined to "stay below the radar."
Fred's wife, Jessie, is expecting their first child, and the pregnancy is going well.
But midway into his wife's pregnancy, life has gotten tense around the house. Fred is a bit hyper. He is quick to criticize Jessie if dinner isn't ready by the time he gets home, he spends more time in front of the TV with an extra beer, and he reports that he is too tired to make his customary morning trip to the gym. Instead, Fred has made an uncharacteristic number of trips to the doctor these past few month for an ache or pain here, indigestion, and headaches. While he seems exhausted in the evening, he tosses and turns at night. Jessie often finds him dozing on the couch when she gets up in the morning.
Like 7% of men in the United States, Fred is suffering from depression. However, he doesn't "look depressed." He has no crying spells and his mood is not slowed down. On the contrary, he is revved up a notch or two. Fred remembers being "kinda blue" for a semester or two in college and reports that his mother was treated for depression years ago.
Fred needs help...for the sake of his well being...for the sake of his marriage...and, ultimately, for the sake of his baby.
A recent study by the American Psychiatric Association confirms the increasing incidence and importance of postpartum depression in dads. APA President says, "The life changes for a new dad are enormous. Just thinking about the costs of raising the kid to 21, maybe for life, can be terrifying. And all the unspoken fears: Will my wife still be as interested in me? Will my baby be as cute as my brother's baby?" "Moreover, male postpartum depression may have more negative effects on some aspects of a child's development than its female counterpart," says James F. Paulson, PhD. A dad's depression during his wife's pregnancy is a significant risk factor for her postpartum depression.
Furthermore, a new study in Pediatrics confirms that depression in dads is linked to increased crying in their newborns. Does dad's depression cause more tension in the home and less responsiveness to the baby, or is it the other way around? No one yet knows.
Fred's brother notices that Fred is "just not right." After considerable support and encouragement, Fred finds a doctor who has experience treating depression in men. A few weeks after treatment begins, Fred finds his was back to the gym, opens his office door at work, and is back to patting his wife's growing tummy. Fred thankfully feels like hemself again and is ready now to be the dad he wants to be.

Panorama Park (Deep Cove, North Vancouver)
I have a special love for Deep Cove in North Vancouver. It's the kind of community I would see myself living in. It houses some of the best places for dinner (Arms Reach Bistro, anyone?) and I find myself always drawn there. Today JT and I went there for our first hike of the season, and we took the Baden-Powell Trail all the way to Indian Arm's Quarry Rock lookout.
We took the opportunity to take a few photos there, and of Panorama Park, and here are some of my favorite shots.

Nature School is BVRA's nature-based preschool. Inspired by Montessori, Waldorf and Reggio-Emilia educational philosophies, this nature-based curriculum focuses on a variety of themes that reflect children's discoveries in both indoor and outdoor classrooms. Outdoor exploration in all types of weather is an integral part of each day. Nature inspires the curriculum and focuses on themes that mimic the changing of seasons.
The Nature School preschool day is designed to create a balance between free creative play and more structured activities that help develop a child's ability to work independently and cooperatively and to act in a caring and responsible way towards the environment, themselves and others. We engage in domestic, practical and artistic activities that the children readily imitate (baking, painting, gardening, etc.) and allow ample time for outdoor exploration in the Children's Play Garden (BVRA's outdoor classroom). Woven into these experiences are hands-on games and experiences that well-prepare children to enter the next phase of school life. Motivated by their own curiosity, children may choose from many thoughtfully prepared hands-on learning materials that foster the development of gross and fine motor skills, reasoning, math, and pre-reading or reading skills, as the child is ready. Our mission is to provide a high quality childhood experience that meets the developmental needs of the whole child (artistic, social, emotional, physical, cognitive) while inspiring them to connect with nature.
Conversational, hands-on and interactive Spanish with Rachel Sussman is incorporated into Nature School three days each week.
Also, check out our afternoon program: Nature After Noon
Classes will take place in the Warming House, the Children's Play Garden and throughout Lewisburg Park's more "wild" areas (not the playgrounds); rain, snow or shine. Children must be potty proficient AND 3 years old, and parents will need to provide outdoor clothing for all types of weather.
Susan Chlebowski is a Montessori Teacher certified by the American Montessori Society to teach children ages 3-6. As teacher/director of the recently expanded 5 day a week Nature's Cool program, she combines her enthusiasm for nature and Montessori preschool education to provide hands-on, child-centered learning experiences while fostering a strong connection to the natural world. Susan also brings elements of Waldorf and Reggio-Emilia (art based) early childhood philosophies to her teaching, as well as an emphasis on curiosity-driven learning and outdoor exploration. In her spare time, Susan enjoys cooking, gardening, coaching lacrosse, and riding a tandem road bike with her husband. You can contact Susan at email@example.com or at 570-524-4774. Patricia Snyder is BVRA's Youth Education Coordinator through the AmeriCorps program. Patricia has four children of her own and is excited to get to know and care for the children of Nature After Noon.

Speaker of the House John Boehner has made been very vocal about his desire to slash the Congressional budget and trim wasteful government programs. In the past year he's made numerous public statements about reducing spending, and ThinkProgress recently included links to promises to reduce the budget:
"We need to cut spending. That's what the American people want. That's what the economy needs." [12/17/10]
"Let's be clear, if we actually want to help our economy get back on track and to begin creating jobs, we need to end the job-killing spending binge. We need to cut spending significantly." [12/17/10]
"Our new majority will prepare to do things differently, to take a new approach that hasn't been tried in Washington before by either party. It starts with cutting spending instead of increasing it." [11/3/10]
"We will not solve our fiscal challenges until we cut spending." [8/25/10]
"If we want to solve the budget problem, we've got to have a healthy economy and we have to get our arms around the runaway spending that's going on in Washington, D.C." [8/9/10]
"And if in fact we're elected to the majority you're going to see us cut spending. You're going to see us revive the economy and reform the way Congress does it job." [10/5/10]
"If the lame-duck Congress is unwilling to cut spending and permanently stop all the tax hikes, the new House majority will act in January." [12/1/10]
"Republicans have been consistently focused on offering better solutions to cut spending now." [6/21/10]
"We will never get our economy out of the ditch until we cut spending and have real economic growth." [8/30/10]
Unfortunately, when Boehner was recently given an opportunity before a national television audience and asked by Brian Williams to name a program – one stinking program – he'd cut, he simply couldn't remember any off of the top of his head…WTF? How are you not prepared for that question?
WILLIAMS: Name a program right now that we could do without.
BOEHNER: I don't think I have one off the top of my head.
How about this response from the same interview:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: When you go home next, is there a sidewalk, a place, a person that's kind of a talisman to grab onto? Again, talkin' about strength and the new job?
JOHN BOEHNER: Well, I get strength every day just uh, going to my Facebook site.
Seriously. We couldn't make this stuff up.

This is a knit dress, so comfy and cozy. The style of it is just perfect for back to school.
Believe it or not, JubeJube chose her own fabric (out of a selection of 4 fabrics) and buttons and wanted the short sleeve option. The dress falls just above the knee, the perfect length to be able to pair it with leggings.
Just love the details of the neckline.
The short sleeves make it really easy to wear with a cardy.
Yes Amelia chose her fabric too (out of a selection of the same 4 fabrics as JubeJube). I decided on the long sleeve for Amelia and instead of using ribbing for the collar and cuffs I used the same fabric as the dress. I simply made sure to add a little bit of length to those pieces seeing as it has less stretch than ribbing.

Iz tehničkih razloga Sajam se neće održati ove godine!
CoffeeFair – the only professional coffee trade fair for South-East Europe region
10 countries – 50 million people – similar languages – similar history – similar habits.
One passion – coffee!
With the help of leading coffee distributors in the Region (Atlantic Group, Strauss Adriatic and Nestle), Oivivio developed the CoffeeFair in 2012 as a B2C festival focusing on the end user – coffee lovers and coffee consumers. The first edition was a great success in 2014 that attracted over 18,000 consumers and coffee professionals. But even then, we noticed that there is a need for a stronger "professional" focus, so the festival in 2015 evolved into a hybrid festival / trade fair concept.
Starting in 2014 and repeating every two years, CoffeeFair is the only Regional Mediterranean coffee fair that brings together coffee and tea professionals from the 10 countries of the eastern Mediterranean region and the world.
Coffee business in South-East Europe is growing and changing. Many manufacturers and distributors already grow in this growing market. Why don't you join them?
There are three important trends in coffee consumption in SEE:
People drink more coffee. Data show that 10 countries of South-East Europe (population just over 50 million) consume just about the same amount of coffee as Italy, about 4.2 kg/capita for a total over 160,000 tones1.
Espresso style coffee is growing. Traditionally people in the Balkans drink "Turkish" style, low cost, mostly Robusta, coffee. But since the fall of Communism, espresso coffee is becoming more popular and espresso imports are growing.
Coffee drinking habits are changing. As consumers are becoming better educated, and their lifestyle is changing, a number of niches is growing: Vending, Single serve (Capsules, Cialda), Single origin, Filter, Coffee2Go and other.
Grow your coffee business in this exciting and growing market. Communicate with your clients, get to know the existing ones better and educate, develop and grow the new ones. Take the advantage of this fantastic opportunity to showcase your new products and engage with your customers face-to-face. Interact with them. Hear their likes and dislikes. Show that you care.
CoffeeFair is intended for manufacturers, distributors, growers and exporters and companies whose business include:
Coffee and tea manufacturers, roasters, growers, exporters and traders
Professional and home coffee-making machines and vending
All organizations, institutions and associations dealing with catering, food, nutrition and medicine, as well as research, training, consultancy and certification of coffee, tea and accompanying products
Accompanying equipment for cafes, bars and HoReCa like water filters and cleaning agents, accessories for hot drinks, related glassware, bar equipment, etc.;
Accompanying products like tea biscuits, chocolate, milk, creamers, water, syrup, sugar, cocoa and other supplements for coffee and tea;
Franchisers, cafés and bars managers and owners, baristas, media following HoReCa
Due to its position in ex-Yugoslavia, business people habits, robust trade fair offering, geographic location and its strong coffee and café culture – some refer to Belgrade as the "Trieste East.
Strengthen your brand position in the SEE market
Introduce new product, brands and services
Meet distributors and potential clients
Provide "live" demonstrations
Deliver presentation and/or promotional seminars
Organize "mini-events"
Educate clients, baristas and other professionals
Engage visitors, professionals and journalists
Promote and sell your products;
For the first time in 2015,CoffeeFair became the home of the important VIP CoffeeFair Summit. The Organizer invited a broad range of experts from the manufacturing, roasting, distribution and government. Participants discussed a number of important technical issues, with a hope that commercial and legislative issues would be discussed in 2017.
VIP CoffeeFair Summit 2016. Mr. Ivan Abramo discusses arabica vs. robusta change in tastes in the Region. Dr. Goliani, the Organizer is to the left.
We expect the CoffeeFair Summit to become the important regional forum through which the coffee professionals that will send a clear, strong and unified message to all stakeholders, including the local governments.

Our Inheritance
"To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you." (1 Peter 1:4)
Our heavenly inheritance, among other things, is an "eternal inheritance" (Hebrews 9:15), held jointly with Christ (Romans 8:17) and "all them which are sanctified" (Acts 20:32). We who are born again "by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" and "kept by the power of God" (1 Peter 1:3, 5) find such an inheritance described in today's verse.
First, we notice that our inheritance is incorruptible, or undecaying, immortal. Note how the same word is used in verse 23: "Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God." Therefore, "lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt" (Matthew 6:20).
Second, it is undefiled, pure, uncontaminated by sin. Remember, Christ is "holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners" (Hebrews 7:26), and so, evidently, is our inheritance.
Third, it fadeth not away. "And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away" (1 Peter 5:4).
Lastly, our inheritance is reserved in heaven. Christ prayed, "Holy Father,keep [same word] through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are" (John 17:11). Surely our inheritance is as secure as we are, guarded by none other than the all-powerful guard.
So, we see that our inheritance cannot die, cannot be tainted by sin, will never fade, and cannot be lost. "I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day" (2 Timothy 1:12). JDM

Last week, the kids, Bryson and I loaded up the car and drove to Oklahoma City where I auditioned for Listen to Your Mother.
During the past year, I have struggled to find my voice or have the confidence to share. I know, it sounds absurd. I am a professor and writer, someone who communicates ideas for a living. But it has been a big struggle this year.
A sweet friend of mine emailed me and said, "I really think you should audition." I retorted, "What would I share?" She told me I had so much to share. I am so thankful for her encouragement.
And I realized that one of the best ways to grow in my confidence and to find my voice again is to try things that scare me. I leaned in to the uncomfortable and took a risk by auditioning.
I am excited to share that I was selected for the 2017 Listen to Your Mother cast for the Oklahoma City show. The show is April 30 at 3 PM in Oklahoma City.
More details coming soon.

Medically known as alopecia, hair loss can both happen to men and women, especially adults. However, the condition is more common in men than in women. Men with hair loss problems usually suffer from baldness, which can either be partial or complete. Women on the other hand don't really suffer from baldness, but from thinned hair.
It is said that a person has hair loss issues when he or she is losing more than a hundred strands of hair a day. Hair loss usually attacks gradually, starting from thinning, which can eventually lead to baldness. It can occur in men as early as 20s but is more common to people aging 40 and above.
Causes and Factors
There are a lot of factors that can lead to hair loss conditions. Aging and heredity are just two of the common known causes. This goes to say that if you have a member in the family who is bald or who is suffering from hair loss problem; there is a high chance that you will suffer the same condition too at some point in your life. Another inevitable cause is aging.
As we grow older, our hair normally thins away. Other causes may also include stress, infection, abnormal testosterone level, hormone changes, crash diets, radiation, surgery, meds, and diseases. Speaking of diseases, here are the health conditions that are known to cause hair loss: tumor, infectious diseases, autoimmune conditions, and anemia.
What to Do
Some hair loss conditions are only temporary, such as those that are due to radiation therapy, childbirth, menopause, and certain types of surgery. If your hair loss problems are due to these factors, then you don't have to worry about the treatment. All you have to do is to relax, stay healthy, and wait for the hair to grow back within a year.
For therapies and surgeries, the hair usually grows back in just six months. But if for the time being you are ashamed of your thinned hair, you can always wear hats or anything to hide your condition like wigs.
You can also get a great hairstylist who can make your hair look thick. Yes, there are actually hair styles that can hide your hair loss problem and trick the eye. So this is perhaps your best shot if you can't afford a wig. But if you're suffering from a permanent type of hair loss, better seek advice from the doctor for more effective medications.
When to Seek Treatment
Remember that the normal hair fall each day is 100 strands. So if you think you're way past that, you should immediately seek treatment. It is very important to see a doctor as early as possible so that you can prevent the condition from getting worse. Hair loss can contribute to baldness if not treated or managed at its early stage. You should also live a healthy lifestyle, eat healthy foods, and avoid stress.

Running is a simple activity. You don't need much, except a pair of running shoes. One foot in front of the other at a faster pace than walking. But yet such a simple activity brings many people to my office for treatment. I see many injuries that can easily be avoided by following some basic guidelines.
"Too Much Too Soon"
Right out of the gate many people take on too much mileage when they start running. You need to give your muscles, tendons, bones, etc time to adapt to the stress of running. When you run, you sustain over 3x your body weight with each foot strike. Each minute you run you can take up to 180 steps and for an hour run, that's over 10,800 steps. It takes time to build up to this kind of stress. Start out with low mileage, 3x week. When building your mileage, don't add more than 10% each week. This is to allow your body to adapt to the stresses of running.
Many of the injuries we see are runners that are inconsistent with their training and don't allow for a gradual buildup. You can't run 12 miles a week, then jump to 18. Same with the long run. If you are at 8 miles, don't run 14 the next week. You can't cram training. All it will do is lead to overuse injuries.
"The Hot New Shoes"
Many runners are attracted to what others are wearing on their feet. One person has success with a shoe, so they think they will do well wearing it as well. Or the shoe company has a great marketing campaign. There are many different styles of running shoes out there for many runners. It can take time to find what's appropriate for you. But the same methodology applies to switching running shoes. You need to slowly adapt to the new shoe. You can't be running 15+ miles a week and just switch over to a different shoe. You need to look at the heel drop (drop from heel to toe measured in millimeters). If you are in a shoe with a big heel (8mm drop), it's a bad idea to just switch over to a 4mm drop or less. Your foot strike can change dramatically. Perhaps you were a heel striker and the new shoe makes you more of a midfoot striker. Now you are placing stress on different structures of your lower extremities that now have to be adapted to the stresses of running. Slowly work in the new shoes into your rotation. Start with 10 min of each run wearing the new shoe, then go back to your older shoe. Take things slowly as it can take 3-6 months to adapt to the new shoes, depending upon the drop. And don't make a big jump in your drop. If you are wearing a big, chunky heel and want to go 'minimal' or wear a shoe with a very low drop, be patient. Make the transition in stages and take your time.
"Rest, It Does a Body Good"
A basic building period in training comes with a rest week built in. It usually involves a reduction in weekly miles and time. It is during this week where your body rests and adapts to all of the training you did the prior weeks. When you are fatigued from the buildups, your strength goes down and your running form breaks down. This will make you susceptible to injury. Listen to your coach or training plan and take advantage of the down time. You will come out after that week recharged and stronger than before. Don't skimp on the rest.
"Running form"
Heel strike vs midfoot strike vs forefoot – everyone has an opinion. In reality, there is no right way. There are many top runners that heel strike. We look at other things for running efficiency that don't include what part of your foot strikes the ground first.
- cadence
- contact time with the ground
- vertical displacement
- impact force on landing
These 4 items have a greater impact on your running economy over what part of your foot comes down first. The higher your cadence (170-190 steps per minute), you will improve where you strike the ground (with your foot under the hip). It leads to less soft tissue absorbing landing forces (achilles, plantar fascia, tibialis posterior, patella tendon, etc) and more absorbing through joint motions of the knee and hip. Higher cadence also leads to less contact with the ground. The less contact time you have, the less vertical displacement (how high you bounce up and down when you run). The less vertical displacement, the less impact force on landing you have. All of this makes you more efficient. But again, you just can't jack up your cadence to 180 and expect a transformation. It comes back to Too Much Too Soon – you need time to adapt.
"Running Gait Analysis"
If you have been dealing with running injuries or will be doing a lot of running to prepare for a race, a gait analysis might not be a bad idea. A good analysis would include a complete biomechanical and strength assessment as well. A great strength training program is important to go along with regular swim/bike/run training.
"Don't Run Through an Injury"
If you are injured, get it checked out. There is a difference between being sore and being injured. Sometimes you can run through an injury, but it might require a decrease in mileage or frequency. And at times it requires complete rest while you rehab it. It pays to get it checked out early so you minimize the loss of training time. Ask us to help you find out whats wrong, why you got injured (was it Too Much Too Soon??), and how to get you back on track!!


text: Re: New headlines ================= >1:) Burma warning >2:) Party told not to celebrate 1990 victory >3:) Asean asked to push Burma on drug action >4:) US should work with Burmese junta to eradicate drugs This news came at a time when a senior US government official yesterday called on the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to urge Burma to curb drugs production while encouraging the junta there to have dialogue with opposition groups. How can you stop the NLD from celebrating to mark the eight anniversary of its landslide victory in the May 1990 general elections? It's a pretty wrong more. A move that came out a bad advice and fear. (I don't undersatnd why SPDC has to feel so insecured about a peaceful and genuine celebration like this.) After all, NLD got the mandate from the people of Burma and they don't. They (RC/BSPP/SLORC/SPDC) are never accepted by the people and they will never be. Nobody welcomed or asked the military to seize power in 1988. So, they will remain illegitimate forever. We never wanted them to be involved in the nation-rebuilding process this way. Simply speaking, you only know how to feed on corruption and nepotism. That's just what have been doing since 1962? Congradulations NLD!!. Please join me to celebrate the eight anniversary of the landslide victory of the NLD in the May 1990 election on 27 May 1998. Freedom to the people.

Mobile Terminal is a great boon for those who want that extra level of configuration and control over their iPhones. It lets you do a lot over the command-line interface and in fact, quite a lot can be achieved. If you are geek-enough, you might just find it very helpful for a lot of things.
However, with the new iOS version out, the old Mobile Terminal on Cydia – which has not seen updates of late – has become obsolete unless we jailbreak and follow the steps here.
For all you guys who need to know how to install Mobile Terminal of iOS 5, here's the way:
You will need:
A jailbroken iPhone to run the app from Cydia.
This file – Mobile Terminal.deb from Google Code (http://mobileterminal.googlecode.com/files/MobileTerminal_520-1_iphoneos-arm.deb) (which we'll download in step one)
iOS 5 running – so something like iPhone 4 with firmware update would be good (or use a jailbroken iPhone 4S. Know more about how to jailbreak iPhone 4S here (http://www.iphonestuffs4u.com/how-to-jailbreak-iphone-4s/)
iFile – this file is definitely needed to install the app from Cydia.
In case you have a version of Mobile Terminal already installed, you'll need to remove that first. Go to the end of this post to see how that can be done:
First off, make sure you have coreutilities (coreutils).
You can do this by opening the Manage Tab on Cydia. Go to the Settings (upper left) and then enable Hacker Mode. Tap on Done.
Now go to Search (within Cydia) and type "coreutil." If you see both Core Utilites and Core Utilities (/bin), you have coreutils installed and you can proceed with the following steps to install Mobile Terminal on iOS 5.
Steps to Install Mobile Terminal in iOS 5
Open Mobile Safari and download the Mobile.deb file from the here. (http://mobileterminal.googlecode.com/files/MobileTerminal_520-1_iphoneos-arm.deb)
Open the file in iFile (which you can locate in the upper right corner)
A pop-up should appear now. Choose "Installer" from the menu and that will install the Mobile Terminal on your iPhone.
That's it. Reboot your iDevice and you will have the Mobile Terminal working on your iOS 5. iDownload reports this should also work on iOS 4.
Removing an Old Mobile Terminal
Go to Manage → Packages → Mobile Terminal → Modify → Remove
Mobile Terminal finds very many uses – especially for those who are used to the command-line interface. A lot of actions like resprings and reboots can be done in a single step through the command-line interface, for which we'd need the Mobile Terminal.
With the release of iOS 5, the old Mobile Terminal became unusable due to compatibility issues. However, with the above steps, we hope you would be able to get the Mobile Terminal up and running on your iOS 5 devices.

Words have become rather a hot commodity in football of late, both the spoken word from those participating in and the written word of those observing and opining on this rather silly game where the players can't even use their hands. Whether it has been alleged racist taunts by individual players or the complex matter of who pays what and where for the consumption of content surrounding football, words have done some damage over the past few weeks. John Terry can't get a Ferdinand brother to say hello to him anymore – if either Rio or Anton had wanted to in the first place is a separate matter – while Luis Suarez might avoid ever having to buy Patrice Evra a café au lait as his French is a bit rustier than his Spanish slang. Those who provide content on such stories remain conflicted on the value attributed to stories on matters such as these at a time when the written word might be at its most voluminous and thus less valuable than when Johanes Gutenberg printed a book. Why has football become such a serious business?
To be fair, perhaps we have always been this serious about the game but are still struggling to grasp the environment in which it is now conducted. Professional players like Terry, Suarez, or any other who has been accused of saying exactly the wrong thing to the wrong person should know better by now, what with the millions of eyes affixed to their every movement. No matter how many millions of pounds you give someone though, nor how much rests with his reputation being one of a sporting role model for your kids to emulate, there are idiot football players just as there are idiots throughout the known world. A slip of the tongue inevitably occurs for everyone, but for those who have a predisposition for racism, sexism (á la Gray and Keys), or any other despicable -ism, the rush of blood to the head will force it out for all to hear. Unfortunately this has always been the case for as long as theories on social Darwinism have let us down, but the primary difference now seems to be that, with so many ears to hear and eyes to see, nothing is missed. Idiot millionaire footballers will be called out for it, and the hordes of us who either comment on their linguistic tragedies either for free or for pay will run them through the ringer for it or defend them to the hilt for as long as it remains somewhat relevant for football. Even after all this, the event will never be let go because there will always be another with a new spin on the story, another angle to take to ensure whatever happened remains on that idiot footballer's CV for life. There will also be future idiot footballers that do something similarly awful later to reinforce the tale.
Herein lies a potential reason why we have all become so serious about what is said both on the pitch and in the stands. Those millionaire footballers playing for their wealthy clubs have a great deal at stake to lose should whatever evil -ism is proven against them. Thus, the immediate response from officials is quite often to defend, deflect, and protect their investments rather than truly making a difference to rid the game of such ills. When Terry was stripped of the England captaincy last year over the Wayne Bridge affair, he reportedly stood to lose around £4 million in sponsorship money and now should be be found to be a racist on top of being an adulterer, those corporations that either remained endorsing him or returned after the Bridge story concluded its cycle of hyperactivity will surely drop him. Without the armband last summer, Terry still turned out for England regardless of the outcry, and while the current investigation is ongoing, he will be there to wear that armband again in England's next match. The FA have blocked Terry from speaking on the ongoing investigation into racist language directed at Anton Ferdinand, both as a means of preserving the integrity of their probe but also to deflect it away as the main topic of conversation when we should continue waxing philosophic on England's victory over Spain, giving the slight impression this will be shoved aside while some other terrible -ism is tackled in its place. As for the matter between Suarez and Evra, whatever Suarez might have said by intent looks set to be irrelevant, as a language misinterpretation will likely see the matter die off, thus saving Suarez from possible censure and Liverpool from being without one of their rather influential players.
In these instances, our general notions of accountability and responsibility will never be satisfied, thus we focus on meaningful words that might eventually be adjudged to be meaningless in the interests of self-preservation for players and those they represent.
As for the written word, there are so many of them produced daily from so many sources about what might have happened in football as a whole that the lines between those who write with no compensation and those who are professionals has become so blurred we have little idea to whom we are accountable for our work product. The rules seem to be as clearly defined as the English constitution, or a fit and proper persons test for football ownership. While words look to be of the cheapest currency going at the moment, we will defend our own as determinedly as if they were our last. Value, then, resides in whether that content is delivered to the millions of consumers of football information as properly as can be determined and at the right price measured either in pounds or in visibility. Likely, we become serious and begin sounding as idiotic as the footballers we write about when this hazy barrier has been breached, but sadly those general consumers do not care as a continual race to the bottom benefits them in the greatest.
In these instances, consumers have no notion of accountability and responsibility to be satisfied, which only makes the issue more serious for those producing what they consider meaningful words to those from whom the source can sometimes be meaningless as long as access is easily available. So, is there any way to extricate ourselves from sinking further into this quagmire? Perhaps we should consider the words so often used when idiot footballers or idiot fans do something inherently idiotic and whomever is in front of a microphone to defend, deflect, and protect in these situations. Let's just get back to talking about the game of football.

We did a little shopping. Then headed out to take supper to the field. Most of my family are farmers, and I am proud of that. I love to think that my family helps to feed the world. They were done cutting corn and had moved on to the fields of milo. What's milo, you ask? Milo is a grain sorghum grown to feed livestock animals. Some parts of the world use it for human consumption too. It's harvested with a combine & stored in grain elevators.
