Promoting Mitochondrial Health Nutrients That Optimize Cellular EnergyFebruary 2005

R-Alpha-Lipoic Acid: Potent Antioxidant and More
Acetyl-L-carnitine and lipoic acid could be considered the "dynamic duo" of anti-aging chemicals. Like acetyl-L-carnitine, lipoic acid is a natural mitochondrial metabolite with potent antioxidant properties.5,31 The "R-" form is the most biologically potent form of lipoic acid,32 and numerous studies have paired it with acetyl-L-carnitine to determine the two compounds' synergistic effects on mitochondrial function. All have shown benefits ranging from improvements in memory to increased physical activity levels, improved mitochondrial structure, positive changes in age-related hearing and vision loss, and decreased oxidative damage.5,21,22,23,24
Studies have shown that lipoic acid improves endothelial and heart function, which are important factors influencing cardiovascular health.32-35 Given that aging is the single largest risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and that such diseases are the leading cause of death among people over the age of 65, lipoic acid would appear to be indispensable to anyone of advanced years who wishes to maintain optimal health.33
Like acetyl-L-carnitine, lipoic acid readily crosses the blood-brain barrier, enabling it to benefit neurons and body cells alike. Although it penetrates cell and mitochondrial membranes, it also benefits the extracellular matrix after conversion in the body to a still more potent antioxidant, R-dihydro-lipoic acid. This multitasking molecule possesses the rare ability to function as an antioxidant in both water- and fat-soluble tissues,36 and it is considered an especially potent protector of brain function. As one research team commented, "In-vitro, animal, and preliminary human studies indicate that alpha-lipoate may be effective in numerous neurodegenerative disorders."37
Indeed, exciting new research conducted at Italy's National Cancer Research Institute indicates that lipoic acid may play a role in preventing or reversing the course of neurological disorders such as multiple sclerosis, which involves demyelination, or the destruction of the fatty sheath that insulates neurons.38 Researchers discovered that oral lipoic acid, given before induction of the disease in an animal model, significantly slowed the onset of demyelination. By contrast, destruction of myelin sheathing in brain cells progressed rapidly among control animals that did not receive lipoic acid.38
In the study's second phase, scientists administered lipoic acid only after the disease had been induced. Although oral alpha-lipoate failed to halt the disease's progression, intraperitoneal infusion of lipoic acid significantly curtailed disease progression. (Intraperitoneal means within or administered through the peritoneum, a thin, transparent membrane that lines the walls of the abdominal or peritoneal cavity and encloses abdominal organs such as the stomach and intestines.) The benefit was achieved, researchers noted, independently of lipoic acid's antioxidant activity. In other words, lipoic acid's benefits are not limited to its potent antioxidant activity alone.38
While lipoic acid is a potent antioxidant, it also regenerates the antioxidant capacity of other important antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E. In addition, it boosts levels of the body's important natural antioxidant, glutathione—an especially significant trick. Glutathione is universally recognized as a crucial player in overall health and immunity, but direct supplementation with glutathione offers limited benefit, since it is poorly absorbed when taken orally.36,37 Alpha-lipoic acid (50% R-lipoic acid), on the other hand, is readily absorbed and disseminated throughout the body, and is well tolerated and safe at clinically useful doses of up to 600 mg per day.39-41
Lipoic acid's benefits are numerous. It has been used as a treatment for diabetic neuropathy in Europe for more than 40 years. According to a recently published meta-analysis of double-blind, placebo-controlled studies of patients with diabetic neuropathy, a painful and often debilitating condition: "…treatment with alpha-lipoic acid (600 mg/day i.v.) over 3 weeks is safe and significantly improves... symptoms... to a clinically meaningful degree."39 Additionally, lipoic acid improves glycemic control among type II diabetics, according to recent research on standard and slow-release forms.34,40,42,43 Its combined blood-sugar-lowering and antioxidant effects are believed to account for lipoic acid's multiple benefits.43
Carnosine: Putting the Brakes on Glycation
Aging is a multifactorial process, so fighting back requires a multi-pronged strategy. An invaluable weapon in this battle, carnosine is a dipeptide (two linked amino acids) that occurs naturally in cells. Carnosine is a natural antioxidant and free radical scavenger, but it also tackles another important underlying cause of aging: glycation.
Glycation occurs when protein or DNA molecules chemically bond, or cross-link, with sugar molecules. Eventually the sugars are further modified, forming advanced glycation end products that ultimately cross-link with adjacent proteins, rendering tissue increasingly stiff and inflexible.44 Advanced glycation end products are resistant to the body's routine efforts to remove damaged proteins.
This gradual process plays out in the mirror as we age. Collagen and elastin in the skin lose their suppleness, causing wrinkles to develop, among other changes. However, the damage inflicted by advanced glycation end products does not stop there. Glycation reduces protein flexibility and functionality. It is the culprit behind cataracts, and it plays a role in numerous other degenerative processes, including arthritis, erectile dysfunction, atherosclerosis, kidney disease, and complications of diabetes.45-49
Even worse, advanced glycation end products trigger inflammatory reactions. In the brain, they have been shown to prompt certain cells to generate free radicals and immune system factors, such as chemokines, cytokines, and adhesion molecules, which are ultimately toxic to neurons.50 Many scientists believe that advanced glycation end products play a key role in the development of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. Advanced glycation end products are thought to oxidize tau proteins, which then form the neurofibrillary tangles associated with Alzheimer's disease.51
Fortunately, there is a way to put the brakes on all this glycation damage. Although skeletal muscle levels of carnosine drop by 63% from age 10 to age 70,52 it is possible to augment falling supplies with oral supplementation. Doing so slows or even reverses some of glycation's effects.49,53-55 For instance, when added to living cells growing in culture, carnosine extends the cells' life span. When added to decrepit aged cells, it rejuvenates them.49,54,56
Carnosine's benefits stem from a variety of helpful properties, including its antioxidant capacity. However, it appears to reverse glycation by directly reacting with carbonyl groups that consist of an oxygen atom joined by a double bond with a carbon atom. Alone, these chemical entities are called carbon monoxide. During glycation and oxidation, carbon monoxide attaches to proteins, seriously damaging them and playing an important role in the pathology of advanced glycation end products. Carnosine evidently reacts with these carbonyl groups, altering the defective proteins to which they are attached. This change renders them susceptible to removal by means of ordinary cellular processes.57 Carnosine is nature's multipurpose age-fighter: it scavenges free radicals that cause oxidative damage, inactivates reactive aldehydes and lipid peroxidation products, inhibits glycation, and acts as an endogenous neuroprotective agent.58,59
Diabetes: An Impending Pandemic
According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes affects about 17 million Americans. Some medical professionals believe this figure may vastly underestimate the true scope of the pandemic. An additional 16-20 million are suspected of having a precursor condition known as pre-diabetes. The legions of people at risk of developing serious diabetic complications swell alarmingly when pre-diabetic patients are included. Taken together, known diabetics and pre-diabetics—collectively described as having "glucose-handling" difficulties— represent a shockingly large percentage of the US population.60
Patients with glucose-handling difficulties are at increased risk of developing life-threatening conditions ranging from heart disease and stroke to blindness, nerve damage, depression, and kidney disease. New evidence suggests that diabetes also takes a toll on the brain, subtly eroding patients' memory and cognition.61,62 These dire secondary complications are the result of excess glucose in the bloodstream, a condition known as hyperglycemia. Although insulin and other medications are used to regulate blood glucose levels as much as possible, damage eventually accumulates. Oscillations in glucose levels are inevitable, even for the most diligent patient.
Benfotiamine Tames Excess Blood Sugar
Until recently, physicians could do little to prevent the dire complications of chronic hyperglycemia. Fortunately, this situation is changing. Exciting research indicates that a nutritional supplement called benfotiamine can block three of the four major metabolic pathways leading to tissue damage. Although it was synthesized in a Japanese laboratory nearly 50 years ago, benfotiamine is only now gaining recognition as a powerful supplement capable of preventing destructive aging effects in the hyperglycemic and alcoholic populations.
Benfotiamine is a slightly altered form of vitamin B1 (thiamine). The alteration renders the vitamin fat soluble, enabling it to access areas of the body that water-soluble thiamine cannot penetrate. This is crucial for controlling potential hyperglycemia-induced damage. Although the problems associated with hyperglycemia are myriad, they all stem from the root problem of glucose flooding into vascular cells and overwhelming their metabolic machinery.
One of the body's proteins, an enzyme called transketolase, blocks the absorption of too much glucose. To do its work, however, transketolase, like many enzymes, requires a co-factor. In this case, it needs assistance from thiamine. Unfortunately, thiamine is water soluble, which makes it less available to cells. Experiments have shown that transketolase's effects are only marginally boosted by the addition of thiamine to cell cultures bathed in excess glucose.63
Used for more than a decade in Germany to successfully treat nerve pain in diabetics, benfotiamine is considerably more available to the body than thiamine. A landmark study, published recently in the medical journal Nature Medicine, found that benfotiamine increases transketolase activity in cell cultures by an astounding 300%. By comparison, when added to cell cultures, thiamine raises transketolase activity a mere 20%. Benfotiamine's robust activation of transketolase was sufficient to block three of the four major metabolic pathways leading to blood vessel damage. Additionally, benfotiamine blocked activation of the pro-inflammatory transcription factor nuclear factor-kappa beta.63
Nuclear factor-kappa beta has been implicated in inflammation, tumor formation, and macular degeneration, as well as retinal disease in diabetics.64,65 It regulates cellular proliferation and suicide. Blocking nuclear factor-kappa beta has been shown to improve the prognosis of arthritis patients.66 These findings suggest still more benefits of benfotiamine therapy.

dell jumps into the printer market this week, introducing three dell-branded printers. dell began discussions last year into partnering up with a printer manufacturer and selling its own printers. the move prompted hewlett packard to stop supplying dell with printers, scanners, and pdas in july 2002 (see our previous coverage). at the time dell was hp's largest reseller of printers.
two of the printers will be laser printers, while the third will be a multi-function inkjet priced between us$150 and us$200. lexmark, a kentucky-based printer manufacturer and ibm spin-off, will make the dell-branded printers. dell and lexmark had reached an agreement back in september.
read more on this topic at cnet.
brian's opinion
dell has finally done what it originally had set out to do by the end of last year. users' opinion on the move will be dependent upon their attitudes toward lexmark printers, though, honestly, most novice users won't know who makes the printer.
dell is definitely in a position to push its own line of printers. it can easily encourage the sale of its own printers with the sale of a dell computer system. using this tactic will surely put a dent in hp printer sales. since dell was one of hp's largest resellers before the relationship was severed i am sure some hp sales have suffered already.
hp is a definite target for dell to go after. executives at dell will surely gauge their successful entry into the printer market by how much their sales undercut hp printer sales. in the end i think the heated competition between dell and hp will be good for consumers–the competition will surely drive printer prices down.
dell is in a great position to do this with its existing and potential customer base in a way that other hp competitors haven't been able to do before.

|competition… (8:29am est mon mar 24 2003)
lets hope that this competition will also drive down ink and toner costs too.

|good point (8:42am est mon mar 24 2003)
i think more companies should get into the printer market and make them more affordable. i mean the printer cost 50$, but the dang ink cartridges cost 100$. what kind of crap is that? – by another pissed man
|re: pissed man. . . (9:01am est mon mar 24 2003)
printers cost $50-$100 because ink and toner are so expensive. printers like the hp 500, 520, 694, bjc-610, as recently as 5 years ago, averaged $300 in cost. then lexmark came out and said "we aren't in the business of selling printers, we are in the business of selling ink and toner." that's why printers come with half-sized ink cartridges. these companies have to make a profit somewhere and there is no profit in selling printers that last 10 years like my lasterjet iii did, unless there is good profit in the toner. – by zaph1
|what the f**k? (9:10am est mon mar 24 2003)
why would i buy a lexmark printer that has dell's name on it??? the only thing dell is doing is jacking the prices of the printers up and putting their names on it. lexmark, in my eyes, is one of the top two companies in the printing industry…and lexmark already has superb service. if you buy a printer and it's under warranty, they will drop ship another one to you the next day. is dell going to be able to do that? they should if they are going to jack the price up.
– by techwarrior
|ah, the f*k (9:29am est mon mar 24 2003)
why would buy a printer of lexmark, this one to the name of dell of the advanced side? it has? the only given form of the thing of fixed dell that the prices of the printers to steckfassung alongside advanced and that regulated their names of the advanced side.
– by d0minique
|hp/dell (10:52am est mon mar 24 2003)
dell should stick to pc's, hp should stick to printers. i have an hp laptop and i want to throw it out the window. the company i work for buys dell pc's and hp printers, i seriously doubt that (unless they were free) they would buy dell printers. we have a certified hp repair shop close by.
my .02� – by fr
|unfortunately, (11:05am est mon mar 24 2003)
this might hurt the reputation of dell with its lexmark-quality printers. consumers will eventually figure out that dell's printers are not as good as they used to be–especially in terms of papers-per-ink-cartridge (ppic) and cost of ink cartridges. – by affez pow
|dell begins rebranded printers (11:32am est mon mar 24 2003)
so what if dell sells rebranded printers. is this news? rebranding occurs a lot in the computer business. – by not news
|not new (11:36am est mon mar 24 2003)
rebranding introduces very in the elaboration of the data and the other company on the other hand like the instruments. – by d0minique
|won't improve competition (11:36am est mon mar 24 2003)
ther are still the same printer manufacturers, only with more names.
there will obviously be pricing agreements between lexmark and dell.
lexmark would not cut their own throat. – by rcaman
|the reasoning (12:23pm est mon mar 24 2003)
the reason inkjet toners cost so much is that the print heads are build right into the toner cartridges. when you buy a printer, you're basically just getting a piece of plastic which moves paper and tells the inkjet toner when to print. – by arsonick

the hp-compaq merger is about to show its ugly head … compaq should never have been bought. compaq competes nicely with dell because of its expertise with computer related products … while hp is known best for printers. – by rich

screw dell! they see the need for profit and say to hell with quality products.
off point, kinda
i want a decent resolution inkjet with an option for external ink jugs.
the industry is screwing us with these damn smart chip cartridges with a few teaspoons of cheap ass ink.
oh yeah, nozzles that don't clog overnight and really clean up when you "clean" them.

i love hp printers lexmark are cheap the carts are very expensive and o ye not a lot of ink in them.
will never buy lexmark and never buy a dell i'll build my own pc's and buy hp business inkjets. cheapish ink carts and the printers do not die, i have a 6 year old hp 850c with my sister at uni, and a few 960cxi's that just rule fast, quite and just pure good. – by rab

i don't know what the fuss is all about, as it has been pointed out by notnews- badging or re-branding happens all the time, a lexus is realy a toyota, skoda have vw engines etc. the pity is that both companies are crap, dells pc range is very basic and cheap- thats okay- but everything looks the same- my gut always tells me to go with companies that manufacture the equipment thier selling, so -hp for printers, sony or ibm for pc's – by rob

Preview: Butler at La Salle
Butler probably will not have a problem putting Saturday's thrilling buzzer-beating victory over Gonzaga behind it when the Bulldogs travel to La Salle on Wednesday to resume Atlantic 10 action. The Bulldogs' 64-63 victory over the then eighth-ranked Zags was Butler's 13th victory in a row, and third this season over a top-10 squad. The Bulldogs continue to play well despite not having leading scorer Rotnei Clarke, who will miss his third consecutive game with a sprained neck. The Explorers are 3-3 in their past six games, falling 70-63 Saturday at Xavier. Wednesday's game matches two of the top scoring teams in the A-10 (La Salle is third at 72.8; Butler is fourth at 72.0).

Here is some great, old music from a long time ago.
This is a digital recording of an actual player-piano performance of many decades ago. The recording was converted to MIDI and then I GPOized the MIDI file, using the Garritan honky-tonk piano.
If you listen closely, you can hear the rusty, creaky, old player-piano mechanism slowing down and speeding up.
Keep in mind that this was played by a living person a hundred years ago and "recorded" on an eleven-inch-wide continuous roll of paper by punching holes in it.
This is "Alamo Rag" and here is "Anoma Rag".

Avira Internet Security 2012
Avira Operations GmbH & Co. KG.
Starts at $59.99 (1 PC/year)
Pros: Standard and advanced option selections simplify configuration
Cons: Scanning and detection disrupt workflow; false positives
Rating (1-5): 3.0
Avira feels like a program that needs more work to be really palatable. It's littered with annoyances that make living with it less pleasant than the competition, and doesn't have enough really standout features of its own to make the drawbacks worth tolerating.
We've come a long way from the old days of security suites, when most every single action on your part required you to secure the program's approval. Avira is a bit of a throwback to those times, unfortunately. Right after installation it asked for approval to allow access for at least one common system network service, although at least it didn't ask me to say yes to every single conventional program that needed network access (Chrome, Firefox, etc.). Most of the really important stuff seems to be pre-approved out of the box.
The interruptions become pretty blatant when a virus is detected. If you elect to take action, the program pops up a "Scanning…" dialog which can't be minimized (although at least you can put other windows over it). Ask for more detailed information, and the resulting system scan can take a several seconds or more to complete--another delay.
You can set the program to automatically quarantine a suspect file without prompting you, though. The program also doesn't seem to give the option of scanning USB media when attached, although it did find the sample malware I placed on an attached USB drive when I attempted to launch the file in question.
I also wasn't thrilled with the false positives I got. During a manual system scan, Avira flagged a program believed to be virus-free (ArcSoft Media Player) as a false positive. Also, if you change the default list of object types to detect, you may get that many more false positives as well. When I included "unwanted programs" as part of the scan, a number of relatively innocuous utility programs -- like a tool I use for viewing which .DLL files are registered with Explorer -- were flagged as "unwanted". The default scanning options seem scrutinous enough for most people.
Most of the program's features are familiar territory: firewall, live protection, email scanning, parental protection, and a backup utility (the latter mostly eclipsed by the native functionality in Windows 7). There's little which really stands out, save for a feature or two. I liked the option that prevents a common malware trick, the unwarranted termination of other processes--e.g., killing Windows Update.
The program's interface also has your choice of standard or expert-level options, the former of which filters out most of the stuff that doesn't need to be tweaked for everyday use. There's also evidence some of the engineers over at Avira have a sense of humor: when a file scan is in progress, the window that appears is named "Luke Filewaker." But let's face it, a program like this needs more than a sense of humor.
Avira's at-a-glance interface lets you know what needs attention.

Your grieving process is influenced by how you view death.
Children younger than age 7 usually perceive death as separation. They may feel abandoned and scared, and they may be afraid to be alone or to leave people they love. They may not want to sleep alone at night, or they may refuse to go to day care or school.
Children between the ages of 7 and 12 often perceive death as a threat to their personal safety. They may fear that they will die as well, and they may try to protect themselves from death. Some children may try to behave extremely well. Others may try to be very brave. Some children may want to stay close to someone they think can protect them.
Teens perceive death much like adults do. But they may express their feelings in dramatic or unexpected ways. For example, they may join a religious group that defines death in a way that calms their feelings. They may also defy death by participating in dangerous activities, such as driving a car very fast.

Adidas BW Army Reused Camo Shoes
Adidas has wowed us before with not one but two pairs of shoes that incorporate hemp, and it looks as though they're innovating again. The Adidas BW Army is made from surplus military materials (though they're tightlipped about the source...must still be classified); the use of repurposed material makes each pair unique. Product Dose found a similar deal a year ago, with a limited run of 500 pairs, so there's no telling how long they'll last. Repurposed camo shoes don't come cheaply, though; each pair goes for $115, available at ::Coolest Shop via ::Product Dose

Local plan
In November, a report was issued stating that an error had occurred in the predicted Alresford population figure in 2031, which resulted in a reduction of around 600 people. At the request of some residents, the Employment, Infrastructure and Open Spaces Needs Groups met to discuss changes that may be required in light of the changes in population figures. The Housing Needs Group did not meet since the number of houses remains unchanged.
Following the February full Town Council meeting, papers have been submitted to WCC as Appendices to the original needs groups reports and WCC will consider how this affects the proposed Local Plan for Alresford.
The LPF Cabinet will met on 30th March to agree the Officers' recommendations following the consultation responses. It was a whole day meeting to review Alresford, Bishops Waltham and the City.
There will now be further clarification meetings with the Town and Parish councils. That will be the last consultation before the Plan is submitted to the Inspector. When he examines the issues in Feb/March 2016 he will invite respondents he wants to hear from. The full plan is as follows:
- Publication of pre-submission plan - June 2015
- Six weeks consultation on pre-submission plan - June/July 2015
- Submission to the Secretary of State - November 2015
- Examination of hearings - Feb/Mar 2016
- Inspector's Report- June 2016
- Adoption by WCC - July 2016
This will not result in a change to the housing target, and this in itself is the major contributor to the population projections, but could result in a change to the amount of land required for commercial employment use. Full details of the report are available here.
In its response to the the draft Local Plan 2 the Town Council actually questioned the amount of land being allocated for commercial use on the Sun lane site and recommended it be reduced from 3 - 5 hectares to 1.5 - 3 hectares.New Alresford residents made almost 50% (565 comments) of the total comments (1125 comments) received in the whole of Winchester district. Approx 1 in 10 of our residents submitted a comment Form whereas in Winchester Town with its Population of 120,000 only one person in 1600 submitted a comment (75 comments). Although 90% of Alresford residents did not comment we had, by far, the highest response.
Dogs (Fouling of Land) Act 1996
Alresford has been an area with some irresponsible dog owners for a few years.'. Winchester City Council (WCC) do carry out occasional patrols in the area but it is difficult to catch offenders.

Lights on The Soke
The lights installed in The Soke and Broad Street are not those that were agreed between the Town Council and County Council. We have raised this matter with HCC and have requested that the lights be replaced with those that were agreed in January 2014. This lamp projects all the light downwards and not upwards and outwards.
Traffic at The Soke
Despite numerous approaches to Hampshire County Council (HCC) over the last 12 months they appear to have done nothing to address the traffic problems at The Soke. The Traffic Management Report promised for February, when the traffic light proposal was rejected, has still not appeared and despite re-assurances there is little evidence to suggest it will be forthcoming in the immediate future. Some suggestions have been made by the Town Council in an attempt to mitigate the nuisance to residents and damage to property, in the short term, which is almost entirely created by the volume of heavy goods vehicles going to and from Alresford Salads at The Nythe on the Bighton Road.
In the short term we are asking for a response to the suggestions below with regard to dates, viability and the likely success:
- The installationof a bollard outside No 2 The Soke to protect that building and the Bridge.
- Hi-Vis signage to be installed on the bridge that will maximise visibility.
- Height/width/length detectors to be installed to prevent large vehicles co-occupying the restricted part of the highway.
- The immediate production of the Traffic Management Report now seven months overdue.
In addition hopefully with the support of our District Councillors, Winchester City Council will be requested to investigate and take action on all alleged breaches of planning consent regarding hours of deliveries, volume of traffic, and business classification. They will also be asked why Alresford Salads pays agricultural rather than commercial rates for what is in reality an import/export business.
Finally we will request the Environment Agency to check and give us assurance that the river and Alresford Pond are not being polluted by Alresford Salads business.
West Street Improvements
The County Council has now issued a contract for the West Street project and work is expected to commence on 18 May. As we have previously mentioned the service road in Pound Hill will be resurfaced as part of this project.
There is one major change to the plan, which was publicly displayed this time last year, and that is the provision of a Zebra crossing in Jacklyns Lane. The bus stop, currently outside Shapla has been re-located further up West Street and has been positioned in such a way as not to lose three parking spaces. Changes to the drainage will also be undertaken as well as one or two other detailed alterations. The revised plans can be viewed in the Library, the Coop and the Town Council Notice Boards as well and on the Environment page.
ARC Refurbishment
The first phase of the Recreation Centre refurbishment has now been completed. A new meeting room on the ground floor has been brought into use and allows for a greater number of residents to attend Council meetings.
The function room has been re-modelled and is now avaialble for hire. Two small meeting rooms will be available shortly for public use on the first floor.
Sun Lane
The SLR (the lit speed limit sign) is now being used in Sun Lane in addition to other areas of the town. Following a request from the Town Council a 'Unsuitable for large vehicles' sign has now been installed at the bottom of Sun Lane at the junction with East Street.
Clearance of Public Footpaths
We have received numerous complaints in respect of public footpaths being obstructed by over hanging vegetation from resident's gardens. We would ask, that where properties abut public footpaths residents ensure that it is not blocking pedestrian passageway. It is the responsibility of the householder to ensure that any growth which overhangs a public footpath is cut back regularly to ensure safe passage of pedestrians or passers-by.
Dog Waste Bins
It is now possible for dog waste to be disposed of in normal waste bins and during the course of 2015 the dedicated dog waste bins will be phased out. Advisory signs will be posted on ordinary waste bins and additional waste bins will be provided when the red bins are removed. This should bring a considerable saving to the Council and hopefully prevent dog owners hanging unwanted plastic bags in hedges.
Hanging Baskets
If you require a hanging baslet and have not yet placed your order please do so immediately. The baskets will be hung the week commencing 11 May and orders received after that date will not be able to be fulfilled.
A decision was taken to extend the hanging basket up-the-pole displays to Station Road. We need sponsors for the up-the-pole baskets and anyone wishing to contribute should contact the office.
Following a question at the recent Town Meeting regarding the condition of Nursery Road the matter has been raised with the County Council who has agreed to add it to the Operation Resilience programme for re-surfacing. We will continue to press them for a date for the work to be undertaken.
The police carried out a road traffic operation on the 17th November in Alresford with the following results:-Between 10.10 and 12.00, 4 vehicles were stopped outside the Police/Fire Station for not wearing their seatbelts whilst driving.
Several other drivers were spotted either not wearing their seatbelt or using their mobile phone whilst driving which the police were unable to stop.
Between 15.10 and 16.00, 4 vehicles were stopped on Jacklyns Lane for speeding offences. The average speed was 39mph.
All drivers were reported for the offences and will be dealt with by the Central Ticket Office who will decide whether they receive Driver Awareness courses or fines and points, this wili he dependent upon their driving history.
20 mph Zones
Following the introduction of 20 mph zones in central Winchester, a number of residents have raised the question of 20 mph zones in New Alresford. Yes, we can support requests to the highways authority but ask residents who think their road should be made a 20 mph area (or suggest an area in the town) to email or write to the Town Council to let them know their views. NATC will then make these views known to see if and how we can introduce any changes to speed limits.
Market Town Manager
A Market Town Manager has been appointed to work one day a week with the following objectives:
- Increase footfall into the shops and services in town
- Improve communication among disparate community groups
- Develop greater cohesion of community group activities
- Increase residents' use of town businesses
- Fill in gaps in the existing events calendar and encourage residents' participation
The Council has funded this part time post and we look to her to provide the catalyst to bring new events and initiatives to the Town. Whilst she is nominally responsible to the Tourism Committee we do not intend to either approve or veto any community event or activity. She will be making contact with key community groups to seek their engagement and to bring greater co-ordination and promotion to current and new events. She will also be looking to introduce one or two new events, with the support of Community Groups, throughout the year.
Riverside Footpath Repairs
Regular users of the riverside path will be relieved that we have managed to cap the gusher. The work was delayed because HCC could not undertake the work as it was the landowner's responsibility. However, the landowner of this stretch of the path, by the Memorial Gardens, could not be established from a search of the Land Registry. As no land owner came forward we had no alternative but to step in and take responsibility.
Our proposals for the repair were nearly thwarted by the Environment Agency who insisted on approving them and this would have delayed the remedial work until the spring of 2015. This was unacceptable to us and it was finally agreed that emergency repairs were essential and these could be done without approval. The emergency work undertaken should provide a long term solution and the footpath has now been fully restored and is once again open to the public.
Broad Street Paving
You will have noticed the increasing amounts of tarmac appearing between the paving slabs in Broad Street. This has been done as a temporary measure as Hampshire County Council (HCC) HCC is unable to match the existing slabs with anything currently available. Following discussions with HCC it has been agreed that all vehicle accesses in Broad Street will be laid with cobbles as has been done outside the Horse and Groom. This should release sufficient slabs to infill in other areas to replace the missing and damaged slabs.
Bollards in Broad Street continue to be knocked down and it is essential that when these are re-instated they are set in concrete or they continue to be uprooted. Concrete does not sit well with the existing slabs so all future bollard replacements will be set in concrete a little below pavement level and will finished off with a coloured artificial surfacing to match the existing slabs.

8:09 | Juergen Tibcken remembers the war ending and the way that the environment of their town changed after the liberation of Jewish prisoners. Learning English and trading different good in this little town taught him how to be resourceful and eventually set him up to come to America.
Keywords : German citizen Jewish POW concentration camp Hitler army office cigarettes trading
Juergen Tibcken has a lot of interesting insights from his time growing up in Germany during WWII. Going to school under the threat of air raids was difficult for him and his family. In school, a lot of the teachers were Nazis that taught anti-semitism to them very strictly.
Juergen Tibcken vividly remembers the problems they had as German citizens during World War II. Living in the major city of Hamburg, they had to face a lot of raids from English and American planes that was scary as a child.
Volunteering in the officer's quarters in his town allowed Juergen Tibcken to become much more resourceful and learn valuable skills. Building relationships with these German soldiers was also essential for him and would open opportunities for him down the road.
During the reconstruction of Germany, things were very hard for Juergen Tibcken. He quickly got a lot of responsibilities at a young age and finished his schooling. He applied for an American visa and left to the United States as a visitor and then never left.
Following his French contact at a discreet distance, George Starks parked his bicycle and watched the man enter a bakery. In the back of that bakery, he met Maurice, a member of the Free French Resistance. He was getting close to Switzerland, but he would need Maurice's help to get over the border. Part 4 of 7.
At Okinawa, the USS Dorsey received it's only kamikaze hit after a long streak of near misses. Roy Scribner describes the attack from his vantage point as a gun loader. Fortunately, the damage was not severe and they steamed to Pearl Harbor for repairs. On their way there, they received some bad news from back home.
Chan Rogers experiences a couple of close calls on the Siegfried Line. His unit stumbles upon a nest of sleeping Germans, suddenly finding themselves in a harrowing firefight. Later, when facing off against a group of German pillboxes, they are showered with deadly shrapnel from tree bursts. (This interview made possible with the support of TIMOTHY R. COLLINS.)
George Starks enlisted as an aviation cadet in 1942 and made his way up the training ladder to B-17's. He got out of an assignment as an instructor in the small trainers because he wanted to fly the big aircraft. He excelled along the way and at nineteen years old, he prepared to go to war as the commander of a ten man crew.
The Russians were close enough that the American POW's could hear the fire in the distance. Their guards roused them all and put them on the road in a forced march, leaving their camp in Poland and heading for Germany. It was seventy nine days of freezing cold out in the open, with very little food. (This interview made possible with the support of PHILIP J. O'NEILL.)
Jack Houston had just helped his buddy dress a wound when he volunteered to return to the Okinawa hilltop where they were getting the enemy cleared out. When he got the jump on three of them, his muzzle flash gave him away and he had to leave in a hurry. He flung himself off the hill where he came face to face with a rifle. Part 5 of 6. (This interview made possible with the support of JOHN & BARBARA MCCOY.)
On his fifth combat mission, his first as aircraft commander, B-17 pilot George Starks was on the outside edge of the formation when the plane was hit by German fighters. With a wing on fire, he gave the signal to bail out and he was soon in free fall from high altitude over France. He landed hard, hid his chute, and hid in the woods as he heard German troops approaching. Part 1 of 7.
Two engines were out, a third smoking, and they were were losing airspeed and altitude, but they were flying level and pointed home. Then time ran out for the B-17 and Don Scott had to slip down the hatch into the slipstream. Part 2 of 3.
After a nerve-wracking mission to bomb Tokyo and a typhoon, B.E. Vaughan and the destroyer O'Brien suffered a second kamikaze attack which killed all three of his hometown pals who served with him on board. Then, began the grim task of collecting the personal belongings of the dead and preparing them for burial at sea.
After a long trek across France, George Starks was finally next to the Swiss border. From the time he hid his parachute until the time he stepped across the creek that was the border, he had been helped by sympathetic locals. When he was finally out of occupied territory and free in Switzerland, he was surprised when someone else showed up. Part 5 of 7.
The first operation for the 4th Division was the landing on Roi-Namur. Lawrence Snowden remembers that, though it was an easy victory, valuable combat experience and important lessons were imparted on the Marines.
It was their third mission over Berlin and they were heading home. Four German fighters pounced on the B-24 and it was engulfed in flame and going down. Clyde Burnette fought for consciousness as the other crew in the back of the plane bailed out. He woke in free fall with no idea how he had made it out, and soon he was in German custody. Everyone made it out of the plane except George "Danny" Daneau, the nose turret gunner, who went down with the aircraft.
He was in his last year of college pursuing a mechanical engineering degree when Bob DeBoo was drafted into the Navy. They sent him to finish his degree, then to midshipmen's school, and then he was ready to deploy. He was assigned to an LSM, which is Landing Ship, Medium.
The new B-17 crew was part of a provisional group that, once in England, would be parceled out to units that needed replacement crews. George Starks was the young Lieutenant in charge of one crew that had been selected as the best of the group. He barely got away from Labrador in a storm and the flight across the Atlantic was the toughest instrument flying he ever did.
The going home banner was strung aloft after victory in the Pacific was won, but before the USS Dorsey left the dock, a typhoon struck and grounded the ship. Mother Nature had done what the Japanese could not. Roy Scribner was given the task of securing the sensitive communications material.
After bailing out, evading German troops and hiding in the woods, B-17 Pilot George Starks was helped by French civilians and put on his way over land toward Switzerland. He had a broken bone in his foot, but he managed to make good time, with some help from locals. German troops were everywhere but his young looks and beret gave him a chance when he encountered them. Part 2 of 7.
When the war in the Pacific ended, Marine Lieutenant Dan Magill did two things. The first occurred with him on his knees in thanks. The second involved the stash of medicinal alcohol and coconuts. (This interview made possible with the support of ANITA E. MANUEL.)
It was cold and raining as huge ships pounded the tiny island of Iwo Jima ahead of the landing. Roy Scribner was on the USS Dorsey, a minesweeper. In his diary, he sketched the raising of the flag as well as noting the staggering casualty figures. When the ship broke away from the battle for refueling, the crew nearly met with disaster during the routine task.
As he made his way through France in disguise, downed B-17 pilot George Starks encountered German troops, stole a bicycle and made friends with many locals. In one town he was sheltered by the chief of police, who had a very friendly daughter. Part 3 of 7.
Dan Magill recalls a couple of funny stories from his boot camp experience. One involves the notorious aiming capabilities of the .45 caliber pistol and the other is about the dreaded last shot from the Corpsman. (This interview made possible with the support of ANITA E. MANUEL.)
George Starks had evaded capture all across France and was safe in Switzerland, where he had it easier than downed airmen who had actually come down in Switzerland. They were supposed to stay put and wait, but he had other ideas, which led to the liberation of Evian on the other side of Lake Geneva. Part 6 of 7.
The battles were over, but Marine Lieutenant Dan Magill was ordered to investigate reports of straggler Japanese troops up in the mountains of the Philippines. They were a pitiful lot when he found them, and their leader presented him with a keepsake. Another assignment involved a Marine who had an eye for the local girls. (This interview made possible with the support of ANITA E. MANUEL.)
As the USS Dorsey approached Pearl Harbor for repairs, the pet dog smuggled on board got very excited. He was about tired of Navy life. Almost as soon as the minesweeper returned to action, the war ended. Roy Scribner tells the story of the typhoon that nearly put them under off the coast of Japan.
After leaving his safe haven in Switzerland, downed B-17 pilot George Starks finally met up with American forces near Evian in France. Then began a long, sometimes pleasurable trip back to his unit in England. After debriefing, he was sent around to give lectures on evasion for other airmen, then back home to Florida. Part 7 of 7.
The USS Dorsey, a destroyer/minesweeper, had a number of weapons to protect itself. Roy Scribner was a loader on one of the 20mm guns which was primarily an anti-aircraft weapon. The 40mm gun at the stern was the best protection they had against kamikazes, which were a constant threat. They had already taken out three of the ten ships in his group.
Malhon Shoemake's first beachhead was Guam and after a long wade into shore, he saw the terrible devastation of war. The deaths of women and children were difficult to bear. He soon learned the tricks of the enemy, who liked to fight at night and sneak into your foxhole. (This interview made possible with the support of COL ROBERT W. RUST, USMCR (ret.) in honor of LtGen Lawrence Snowden & LtGen George Christmas.)
The hazing that Roy Scribner got the first time he crossed the equator included the eating of a bitter pudding that came with an unusual health benefit. He was on a minesweeper on the way to the Philippines and, once there, the ship became a target for kamikazes.

BC log exports was a hot topic last week – in the legislature, in the newspapers and in the spirited conversations of workers, families and communities who depend on the forest industry for their livelihoods.
Like most hot topics, the log export debate is often riddled with misinformation, rhetoric and assumptions. Here at the PFLA blog, we represent people who directly benefit from private forestry operations. We'd like to take a few moments to clear things up from our perspective.
6 Basic Facts Everyone Should Know About Log Exports in BC
1. Log exports are essential to private forestry.
Without access to log export markets, none of the 3,000-plus people directly employed in the stewardship of BC's coastal private managed forest land would be working today.
2. A surplus of timber is available to sawmills, pulp mills and value-added manufacturers on the BC coast.
We've said it before, but we'll say it again: there is no log shortage. In fact, there's a surplus of logs. Here's the math:
- Timber available for harvest and processing = 24 million cubic meters
- Domestic processing capacity = 16 million cubic meters
- The difference = 8 million cubic meters of surplus logs
3. Domestic sawmills need to take responsibility for their own "supply" problems.
There are plenty of logs available on the BC coast. If domestic sawmills want to ensure an adequate supply of logs, there are a number of ways to do it:
- Offer competitive log prices.
- Fully harvest public land timber quotas.
- Buy logs on the open market from First Nations, market loggers, community forests, woodlot licences and BC Timber Sales (BCTS) operators.
- Bid directly for timber available through BCTS timber sales.
4. Log prices are the issue, not log shortages.
BC has the world's lowest log prices. Domestic sawmills offer prices lower than production costs. The result: No incentive to produce and sell logs to domestic sawmills. Here's some more math:
- Cost per cubic meter to produce a log from coastal public lands = $78
- Typical log price offered (Teal Jones) = $60
- Recent low-ball log price offer = $43
- Average price of the same logs sold to export customers = $90
5. Log exports are NOT the cause of mill closures and job losses.
In fact, without log exports domestic mills wouldn't have any timber at all. There would be no forest stewardship and no log production. The ability to sell some logs at a premium (log exports) is the only reason it's economically viable to sell other logs, at artificially low prices, to domestic mills. Jobs, economic activity, crown land stumpage and tax revenues all grind to a halt without log exports.
6. There's no such thing as a raw log.
Manufactured logs are no different than any other product – lumber, pulp, poles, veneer – they are but one in a mix of many forest products. A product, that at this point in time, plays an essential role in keeping the boat of BC forest stewardship afloat.

A new arts organization has been formed in the Quad City Area. The Art Legacy League (ALL) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the tradition of art education principles as developed by the Reverend Edward M. Catich, world renowned calligrapher, stone inscription carver, epigrapher, paleographer, printer and liturgical artist, who served as a priest in the Catholic Diocese of Davenport until his death in 1979. As a professor for St. Ambrose University and founder of its Art Department, Catich taught Art as an essential development of various skill sets within calligraphy, drawing, painting and a variety of other art forms. Reverend Catich believed that those skills were learned through disciplined practice, which was the responsibility of each individual who would choose to be a successful artist. The Art Legacy League is an organization that celebrates the heritage of accomplished artists of the past and welcomes the artists of the future to share in the enthusiasm of traditional art methods.
The ALL Board of Directors is comprised of former Catich students: Paul Herrera, Chairman, George Ohley, Vice Chair. Jeff Young, Treasurer, with Directors Linda Kelty, John Bald, Katie Kiley, Amy Nielsen, Donna Young, Steve Morford, and
Nancy Trottier, Webmaster. They have been very active in the international art community since its formal inception as a nonprofit in January 2012. The ALL has been responsible for several lectures and seminars across the U.S. and Canada. "The Life and Times of Edward M. Catich" lecture was given in Chicago, IL; Cedar Rapids, IA; Minneapolis, MN; Davenport, IA; Kansas City, MO; Boston, MA; Deep River and Ottawa, ON, Canada. Brush writing seminars and stone inscription cutting demonstrations in the style of Catich were given in Kansas City, MO; Portland, OR; Norwood, MA; Deep River and Ottawa, ON, Canada. More recently, the ALL has developed a traveling exhibit of Reverend Catich's works, which just completed its inaugural showing at the Hallmark Cards gallery in Kansas City, MO.
Paul Herrera, Chairman of the Board for ALL, was Father Catich's primary apprentice during the last five years of his life. Paul graduated from St. Ambrose and continued to work with Father Catich on stone inscription commissions until the time of his death. Herrera has been traveling nationally and internationally to offer lectures and teach workshops in Brush Writing during 2012. Herrera has been working on the Catich Biography for the past three years. He has completed research trips to the Los Angeles County Museum, Harvard University and the Boston Public Library to gather more information for the book. Publication is slated for late 2013. He and the other members are also working on a Catich catalog raisonée of Father Catich's works.
George Ohley knew Catich for over 40 years and says "Father Catich trained disciplined artists for success. He was a no-nonsense guy but we knew that he truly cared about his students." Jeff Young, owner of Young Art and Sign in Davenport, studied with Catich for three years. "Not until I began my career as a sign painter and graphic designer did I appreciate the importance of Father's affinity for the basics of letter forms and spacing. Freedom in design is only achieved when the constraints of the basics are accepted." Amy Nielsen is a well-known Quad City Calligrapher and Artist who teaches regularly at the Figge and through the St. Ambrose University ACCEL Program. She commented on the preparation for teaching Father stressed to all his students. "Father Catich was my mentor and friend for only a year and a half. He would always stress the keeping of a very detailed and complete notebook for his classes. "Who knows? You may end up teaching this class one day" he would say. I teach all my classes like Father taught me.... with a velvet hammer. Paul says it best; He was our TITAN." Nancy Tottier, who also serves on the Board of Directors of The Museum of Printing in North Andover, MA, is actively researching Catich's role within the community of scholar/artists/printers who operated private presses in the United States during the 20th century. Trottier studied with Catich during the last year of his life as well. She now lives in Canada and is actively teaching workshops in Calligraphy, Brush Writing, and Book Arts using the Catich Method. "Father was my teacher, my priest and my friend at a time in my life when I needed all three."
The Art Legacy League is bringing their message home to the Quad Cities in 2013 through the creation of the Catfish Letter Arts School, a series of workshops and classes to be offered at the Bettendorf Community Center, 2204 Grant Street, Bettendorf, Iowa from January through May. Courses will include Calligraphic Handwriting, Introduction to Calligraphy, Introduction to Brush Writing, Paper Marbling, and Introduction to Book Arts. Most of the instructors will hold a "Meet and Greet" on Saturday, January 19, from 9:00 a.m. – 12 noon at the Bettendorf Community Center. The instructors will demonstrate various calligraphy and art techniques and provide course outlines for the workshops to be offered. The ALL hopes to conclude the year with a Catfish Letter Arts School Retreat during the fall of 2013. The retreat will be a five day intensive series of workshops, lectures, and demonstrations with internationally known instructors. Details for the retreat are still being organized. For more information on the Art Legacy League and the Catfish Letter Arts School programs, please see the group's website, www.artlegacyleague.org.

Posted by The City Cows Team on May 31, 2017
Interior designers are always looking for the next great decoration
technique, and many of them have found it by using a reindeer rug.
They're a valuable tool for adding some rustic charm to a home, or a
little bit of warmth and texture to a bare room. There are several
different ways to use reindeer hides, and most homes can benefit from
any of them.
Over Furniture
One of the most popular options is using reindeer hides as throws that go over furniture. That keeps them off the floor, which will make them more visible in the vast majority of rooms. The three dimensional shape also helps to draw the eye, so this is the best option for people who want to make sure that their reindeer hide gets seen.
This method works best when the reindeer skin is on top of wooden furniture. Both the hide and the wood are natural materials, so they work together to provide improved visual appeal. In many cases, it's reasonably to leave some of the wood exposed to make sure that people can see both materials.
That having been said, this method can also work with furniture made from artificial materials. In that case, the hide should be used to create visual contrast with the furniture. Small hides that only cover a small part of the furniture are ideal for this. Alternatively, using a large reindeer skin and leaving only a small part of the furniture exposed can shift the focus onto the hide while retaining some contrast. This works best with furniture in fairly neutral colours, since bright, unnatural colours will excessively clash with the hide.
On Floors
Most homes can also benefit from a reindeer rug on the floor. This will make the room look much warmer, so it is most effective when used in a room that seems cold or barren. At a practical level, they can also make the floor much more comfortable for people who are walking around without shoes, although excessive foot traffic will wear down the reindeer skin and cause damage. Similarly, it's best to keep them away from excessive dirt or grime, especially mud and other liquid contaminants, to make sure that the hide stays in good condition.
There are a few parts of the home that tend to be especially good places for reindeer rugs. Bedrooms are usually ideal, because most of them don't see much use during the day, but people often walk around them with bare feet in the morning or at night. They can also make a study seem more friendly to the people who use it, which can make work more pleasant.
Location inside the room also matters. Most people who pick a reindeer rug do it because they like the appearance, so they should be situated to maximize their visual appeal. Putting them across from the door can accomplish that, since people will lay eyes on them as they step into the room. Laying a rug out near a major piece of furniture can also be effective because the large furniture will naturally draw the eye to the area around it, which will feature the rug.

Vulcanisation of Rubber
- Natural rubber is vulcanized to improve its characteristics so that its usage could be wider.
- Vulcanised rubber is rubber that has been heated with sulphur.
- Vulcanised rubber is prepared in the laboratory by soaking the rubber in a solution of disulphur dichloride or sulphur monochloride in methylbenzene.
- Rubber molecules have double covalent bonds.
- Sulphur atoms react with the double bond in the rubber molecules chain to form C-S-S-C cross link between the rubber molecules.

Stephanie Jacobsen Previews Melrose Place 2.0 CharacterMatt Richenthal at . Comments
After hearing from Stephanie Jacobsen at a film festival this weekend, we're more excited than ever for this fall's new Melrose Place.
The Los Angeles Times asked the actress to compare the original show's characters with those in the new series.
For example, Jacobsen's character, Lauren Bishop is reportedly a mix of Michael Mancini (a straight-arrow med student), who falls on hard times and is forced into prostitution, just like Laura Leighton's Sydney.
"I personally feel that it's open to interpretation," the actress. "I think everyone in the new 'Melrose' is going to be a new character. Though you'll find echoes - I guess - of the originals."
It certainly sounds that way.
Speaking of Michael and Sydney, both will return in the remade Melrose Place. We can't wait!

Your mantra is "minimal and meaningful". You are particular and precise in everything you do, and your style is no different. Instead of fussing with trends, you gravitate towards pieces that are understated but beautiful. Your jewelry is mostly sentimental and includes family heirlooms.
Italian for the "senses", Senso™ was inspired by the softness of femininity and created by Ippolita herself as she cast imprints of her own figure. This exclusive body imprinting technique makes for an organic texture and intimate feel on your skin.

Whoopi Goldberg knew she had ``arrived`` when Elizabeth Taylor gave her her home phone number.
``I had appeared at an AIDS benefit that Elizabeth had organized,`` Goldberg said in her smoky, deliberate voice between puffs on a Marlboro.
``Afterwards, Elizabeth came up to me and handed me a slip of paper. She said, `Whoopi, this is my private home telephone number. Call me sometime and let`s get together.` Elizabeth Taylor said that to ME! But what do I do about it now? Do I dial that number and say, `Hey, Liz, this is Whoopi. Whatcha doin` tonight, hon? Wanna go get a burger?` ``
Goldberg seems generally uncertain about what to do with the accoutrements of stardom. When a publicist pours her a glass of water, Goldberg smiles a cheery ``thank you`` and waits until the publicist has left before saying, ``I don`t even know what to do about things like that. I`m not used to having people pour my water for me. I`m certainly capable of walking over to that pitcher and pouring my own glass of water.``
Yet big-screen stardom is probably hers. Her subdued, moving performance as Celie, the woebegone heroine of The Color Purple, already is being mentioned as worthy of an Oscar nomination. And she`s currently before the cameras in Knock, Knock, a World War II comedy that`s being directed by Penny (LaVerne and Shirley ) Marshall.
Goldberg is best known as a mordant comedian with a knack for creating memorable characters in brief, vivid strokes. She was a long-running hit in small San Francisco clubs before Mike Nichols saw her and brought her show to Broadway.
She was in Los Angeles negotiating a business deal when Steven Spielberg, who had not seen her onstage, asked her if she would perform it for him and ``a couple of friends.``

Ok, so this race report is super long overdue! As much as I hate to say it, wedding planning (+honeymoon planning) sorta took over my life for a bit, but all's well and done now so we can get back to our daily running program.. errr or lack thereof ;)
This was my third time running Long Beach and I initially signed up with the intention to PR, but it didn't happen this year. I can't say I'm surprised because I didn't train for it at all. Like zero. Like no running at all. Like the last time I ran was the Mud Run back in June… I knew there was no way I could PR, BUT for some reason, I had it in my head that I could still come in at 2:45-2:50. Why you ask? Because I'm ca-razy delusional, my friends. Ca-razy delusional.
So the night before the race, I did a little math and figured out that I needed to hold about a 12:50ish pace to come in at 2:50. Again, my delusional mind thought… "I can TOTALLY do that." I went to bed that night, excited about the challenge. I think in the back of my head I knew I wouldn't hit it, but I was still excited to try for it.
I woke up in the dead of night (or what seemed like it) to drink some tea, eat some oatmeal, gobble up a banana, get dressed and ready before FFABulous Chris (of What I Run Into and Pop Overeasy) came to pick me up. We arrived in downtown Long Beach and parked with no incident. We walked over to the race startline and quickly got in the massive line for the port-a-potties. With empty bladders, we were ready to go!
We ran the first three miles together, and then we split off after that. Maggie the Garmin told me that I was steadily holding a 12:45 pace until I hit mile 7. Then, heading into mile 8, I ran into some really terrible stomach issues. And by terrible I mean… sharp, stabbing, gut wrenching, breath-stopping stomach cramps, plus what Flo likes to call…. "the Bear." I have never before experienced anything like it. I seriously could not breathe, it hurt so much. I walked and I had to clench so as not to release…. stuff (sorry, I know, totally TMI!).
At mile 8, my average pace breached a 13min pace. It was the fork in the road. I still had enough mileage/time to bring it in at 2:45, but if the cramps didn't subside, I had no chance. Unforch, the cramps stayed with me the rest of the race. It was TERRIBLE.
I crossed the finish line at 3:07:40. Not even the best of my untrained races, but again… the stomach issues and the Bear were a huge factor.
Peter (the Hubs), arrived just in time from his bachelor party in San Diego to come pick me and Chris up.
So endeth my last race of the year.
I'm not sure what my racing calendar looks like for next year. I'm registered to run the Los Angeles Marathon, but things might change and I might not be doing that. I'll just be playing it by ear :) Perhaps I'll do another half marathon next year. In either case, I've really gotta get back into shape!
More to come soon, I promise :)

The promo video for Lavin's line for H&M showed some great dresses, but I've now seen some of the accessories and I must say that I am particularly impressed by them. I'm not usually as big on accessories as I am on clothes, but these are some standout pieces. All of the photos are courtesy of The Blonde Salad, who got an in-person sneak preview, so make sure to check out her blog, where there are even more photos of the line.
This clutch has a carefree, almost DIY vibe that I like.
A truly unique necklace (cute dress too)
Another statement necklace
The shoes remind me of some I decorated myself with ribbon and fabric a while but, but it's the pearl bracelet in the back that really catches my eye.

South African Court Rules Against Vitamin Maker
June 16, 2008
Adapted from:
On Friday, the Cape High Court ruled that the vitamin firm that makes VitaCell cannot advertise it as an AIDS treatment, the South African Press Association reported. The ruling was hailed by the South African AIDS group Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), which had brought the case against vitamin entrepreneur Matthias Rath.
In addition to banning the advertisement of the claims, Judge Dumasini Zondi ruled that clinical trials being conducted in black townships by Rath and his Dr. Rath Foundation are illegal and must stop. The judge said Health Minister Manto Tshabalala-Msimang and her department also have a duty to investigate Rath's activities, including taking "reasonable measures" to prevent Rath from advertising VitaCell as having anti-AIDS benefits and from carrying out clinical trials.
"This judgment this morning is a victory for the rule of law and the scientific governance of medicine," said Nathan Geffen, TAC's spokesperson. "Over the last decade in this country, a culture of impunity has been created such that charlatans like Matthias Rath can get away with deceiving vulnerable people into taking snake oils such that those people end up progressing to AIDS and dying."
TAC knows of at least 12 people who died from AIDS after relying on Rath's clinics instead of seeking actual AIDS treatment at a public health clinic, Geffen said.

Spirit Journey
Spirit comes to me to share in knowledge and truth, in the simplest form. To touch on thoughts we have in our everyday lives. The wisdom that unfolds when I write is wonderment in itself. Every month I will post more writings from Spirit… Please enjoy and remember that we can all learn how to communicate with spirit if we wish…
Years ago Spirit came to me and told me I would be writing. Not only writing but that I would reach out to those in need in a spiritual way. I still remember I sat there shaking my head saying me write, there is no way.
I can't type, can't spell and who would want to listen to what I have to say. Then I heard these words, you are but a channel we will give to you the words that need to be heard. Still in shock I knew that God had given me a gift not to be abused but to go forward in believing and with the knowledge that the words will come. Let me tell you the words have come and keep coming. I have notebooks piled up in stacks with words of wisdom from Spirit just sitting looking for a way to be expressed.
During a reading a few months ago Spirit had me grab a notebook and read a message from it to my client. His replay was Kathy you have to get that out to the WORLD!
Write, put it on the computer so others can share in their beautiful words. So here I am sharing with you! Every month I will write what Spirit has given to me, for you are the ears and the receivers of this beautiful gift… So please check in every month and catch up on what is happening with Spirit and and don't forget to check out our Classes and Psychic Fairs..

Warwick Oak Range
The Warwick Oak Range is an extensive collection of high quality oak and oak veneer furniture. This is a light oak range that will suit any home of any size, regardless of its interior design style.
Warwick Oak pieces are made from a beautiful shade of light oak. The rich grains of the oak are accentuated beautifully by a hard-wearing lacquer. Of course, this finish adds protection to the pieces but most importantly it lifts the warming glow of the light oak to splendid effect.
The design lines are clean and subtle, with a nod to traditional-styling but giving a look that is equally fitting for modern and contemporary designs. Dovetail joints ensure the pieces in the collection are sturdy and built to last and there is a fine attention to detail evident, including stylish brushed steel handles.
With as many as 60 pieces to choose from, The Warwick Oak Range has a piece fit for every room in the home and all tastes. Many of the pieces in the collection are particularly adaptable and could easily serve various purposes in different rooms around the home.
It is possible to achieve a truly coordinated look for rooms across the home by matching several Warwick Oak pieces together. However, the gorgeous light oak tones of the collection work equally well as individual pieces.
From the conventional pieces you would expect to see in any excellent furniture collection to some slightly more unusual pieces, the Warwick Oak Range gives you plenty of options, plenty of storage and display solutions, and plenty of style.
