"...tremendously impressive debut novel ... A richly moving reading experience."
"Miss Muriel's novel is a thing of beauty. 5 Stars!"
"...Ms. Muriel writes in four such distinct voices I felt like I was in the space with each one. ... exceptionally well written and it was very hard to put down. 5 Stars!"
-Patty Woodland, Broken Teepee
"...all I can say is – wow, what an amazing read. ...I fully expect to see Essie's Roses on the silver screen someday, but until then I will simply look forward to reading future works by this author. 5 Stars (and then add some more)!"
Growing up in the Deep South during the years leading to the Civil War, two young girls find freedom on a hillside overlooking Westland, an Alabama plantation. Essie Mae, an intuitive, intelligent slave girl, and Evie Winthrop, the sheltered, imaginative dreamer and planter's daughter, strike up a secret friendship that thrives amidst the shadows of abuse.
Told from the viewpoint of four women: Katherine Winthrop, kind mistress and unexpected heiress to her father's small, cotton plantation; Delly, her sassy and beloved house slave; Essie Mae, her slave girl; and Evie Winthrop, Katherine's only child, Essie's Roses tells of forbidden relationships flourishing in secret behind Westland's protective trees and treasured roses.
After scandal befalls Westland, Evie and Essie, aged nineteen, travel to Richmond, Virginia, to escape their abusive pasts. There, they face the gross indecencies and divisions leading to the War Between the States. Though the horrors of slavery and discrimination prompt action, Evie and Essie's struggles lie within. The secrets they hold and the pain of the past lead them away from one another and back home again.
A story about a black slave who frees a white woman, Essie's Roses reveals the innocence of children's friendships, the diverse meanings of freedom, the significance of a dream, and the power of love. In their efforts to save each other, will the women of Westland find the true freedom they desire?
Spread the word… spread the message… Be free!

If your child has ever struggled with math, you've probably heard this question, and if you haven't, their teachers certainly have. It can be hard for students to connect math's abstract concepts to their own lives, and it's even harder to connect those concepts to something as far off as their careers.
So here's a list to help make that connection, showing how math works its way into jobs you might not expect. After all, math is abstract enough that it applies to every field out there. Even if your child doesn't know what they want their career to be, you can be sure it will involve math.
Medicine and Natural Sciences
If your child is considering a career in one of the sciences, they've probably accepted that they'll need to know some math, but they might think of that as secondary to mixing acids or living the dramatic personal life of a TV doctor. Math, though, is foundational to every natural science. Physics is near-constant calculations, chemistry involves balancing equations, and even biologists need to count the frogs they're studying. And every single one of them will use quantitative data analysis to share their findings. Not all scientists need to be math geniuses, but none of them can escape the discipline.
Construction workers need skill and grit to do their jobs. They also need a working knowledge of geometry: they're building all the shapes they teach you about in high school, and formulas for area and volume give them information they really need. In fact, a 2013 study from Northeastern University found that blue-collar workers do more math than anyone else in the workforce, which makes sense. If a construction crew gets their calculations wrong, the consequences range from a scathing review on Angie's List to a complete rooftop collapse. Which…would probably be mentioned on Angie's List too.
That's not all the math that's important for construction. Despite its stodgy name and niche applications, workers use the Pythagorean theorem to square walls and frame roofs. Plotting linear equations might not look like a growth industry, but building stairs calls for the same definition of slope you'll find in algebra class. And, until the United States converts to the metric system, construction workers will need to do those conversions themselves.
Ah yes, fitness. A field where every day seems like a word problem:
Ronnie's on a diet. He wants to eat 2000 calories a day, 75 grams of protein, 50 grams of carbs, 30 grams of fiber, and no more than 20 grams of fat. He's eaten so much oatmeal that he's forgotten what flavor is. He knows that tuna is good for him, but if he eats even one more can, he will literally cry. Write a meal plan for Ronnie, because he's curled up on the floor and surely can't do it for himself.
There's a reason the American Council on Exercise offers courses in math: for fitness professionals, competitive athletes, and even regular folk trying to be healthy, diet and exercise are numbers games. Any optimized fitness plan takes math, whether that's counting macronutrients, figuring out your pace for a 10k, or calculating percentages of your one-rep max.
Business and Sales
Every business—from Walmart to start-ups—wants the same thing: to make more money than it spends. And so every business needs to do the math. Will this investment net a profit? Will this client contribute to long-term growth? If we expand, will that increase our sales or just our overhead costs?
Companies need answers to these questions, and they value employees who help them get the answers they want. Your child can benefit from mathematical thinking because their employer benefits too.
Personal Finance
Ronnie has a date tonight. Congratulations, Ronnie! His checking account has $479. At midnight, $147 will be automatically drafted to pay his health insurance premium, along with $184 for his car insurance and $73 for his data plan. His rent is due in two days. Assuming he plans to buy dinner and tip at least 20%, how should he cancel his date? Because he definitely cannot afford it.
Critical Thinking
When your child enters the workforce, we don't really know what work will look like. But we do know this: Math teaches us how to solve problems. It teaches us how to make the abstract real for ourselves and others. It teaches us how to take dizzyingly complex ideas and break them down into manageable pieces. It teaches us to find clarity, whether that clarity is financial, strategic, artistic, or moral.
Math teaches us to make sense of the world for a moment, if just that single moment, and whatever we do, however we live, whomever we become, we'll use that. We will.
Mathnasium, the nation's leading math-only learning center franchise, specializes in teaching kids math in a way that makes sense to them. When math makes sense, kids excel—whether they're far behind or eager to get ahead. The proprietary Mathnasium Method™ is the result of 40+ years of hands-on instruction and research.

Over the Top
The Tim Russert that was revealed through stories and tributes and more than a few tears last week was a workaholic who somehow still made time for his family. That alone makes him a kind of patron saint for journalists everywhere and justifies the just-short-of-reverential coverage that cynics, we thought ungenerously, were branding as over-the-top last week.
Our deadline on Friday the 13th allowed us to cobble together a story on his sudden death, but not to laud him. We need to. Russert entered B&C's Hall of Fame in 2006. At that time, in our profile of him, we wrote that Russert's rules for success were to remember "all the things they taught you in school. Read your lesson before class. Go to class. Pay attention so you'll be ready for the final exam without having to pull all-nighters. I didn't do it in school, but that's what I do now."
He was an ambitious man who also reveled in other people's success. He was a political strategist who did not see journalism as a stepping stone or a revolving door but as a worthy, even noble, end in itself if done right and well, and he did both. And he always seemed to be having so much more fun at it than the rest of us.
He exuded enthusiasm that was infectious, as though he couldn't quite believe how far he had come and all the famous and powerful people he met on his ride. He was not a cheerleader for politicians, but he was by all accounts a faithful friend and confidant, a beer in one hand, a newspaper in the other, and in between a heart the size of a Buffalo Bills offensive lineman.
One of the reasons that Russert's death struck a chord with so many people is that he had an Everyman quality that made him seem more approachable. Think of John Madden at a chalkboard—or in this case whiteboard—explaining complicated political plays so that we can actually understand them. That was Tim Russert. He liked that analogy, telling B&C he thought diagramming politics for the average viewer was what the job was all about. So many others seem too inclined to impress their peers rather than the consumers of news.
Which leads us to the question: Who is out there to succeed him, not just at NBC but on a larger scale? It is increasingly tough in this red vs. blue world to find someone with the political instincts and insights of Russert, combined with his love of journalism for its own sake. Few could put the words "noble" and "journalism" together and make you believe it. Russert could.
Gov. Mario Cuomo, Russert's former boss, pointed out that the word "enthusiasm" comes from the Greek for the divine appreciation for the gift of life. We'd like to think that the rainbow that rose over the top of the Washington Monument and filled the East window of the Kennedy Center terrace where Russert's post-wake reception was being held was a divine appreciation of the gift of Tim Russert's passion for journalism and life.

Reflecting 'on the move'
Last week I spoke to Christopher Murray about his project using iPhones within the School of Medicine.
Medical students in their 4th and 5th years are out on clinical placements without easy access to a computer. For this project, they are each given an iPhone which has apps loaded to give them:-
i) access to an assessment form that their clinical supervisor can fill in for them when a suitable assessment opportunity arises, and then download to their e-portfolio progress file;
ii) the ability to send text (but not images or sound) to their progress file blog; and
iii) access to the internet including online medical reference resources.
I'll post the full transcript of the interview here next week. (Edit: Here's the full transcript. Click to open PDF)
We did have an interesting discussion about reflecting 'on the move'. Reflection is not always a planned activity. We probably don't think – 'Right, now I'm going to reflect'. We may find ourselves mulling something over while we are waiting for a bus home. Having a mobile device enables us to capture these thoughts or reflections e.g. by recording an audio file or typing up a quick note. Or taking a photograph if something we've seen sparks a thought or an idea. Having an app to then send this automatically to a blog, progress file or e-portfolio means that these little mini-reflections (as Christopher called them) don't get lost. They are there for us to look over and organise later on.

Wednesday, September 13, 2017 | Cincinnati, OH
Tri-State Trails and partner organizations gathered for the announcement of the vision for CROWN, the Cincinnati Riding Or Walking Network. CROWN is the plan to link multi-use trails and on-road bike lanes in Cincinnati to create an interconnected 104-mile active transportation network. The announcement event welcomed strong support, including from:
- Frank Henson, Chair, Tri-State Trails (emcee for press conference)
- Megan Folkerth, Program Officer, Interact for Health
- Jack Sutton, Executive Director, Great Parks of Hamilton County
- Wade Walcutt, Director, Cincinnati Park Board
- Brendon Cull, Senior Vice President & Chief Operating Officer, Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber
- Bob Koehler, Deputy Executive Director/Transportation Manager, OKI Regional Council of Governments
Just last month, Smart Cincy hosted local, regional, and national DOT leaders to discuss smart cities and connectivity solutions centered around smart mobility with a special focus on walkable, bikeble living as an economic development driver. In other biking news, Cincy Red Bike just celebrated its third birthday, and just about 300,000 rides. Congrats to Green Umbrella, OKI, and the partners that collaborated to continue to move this initiative forward.
We are excited to highlight this and other regional mobility initiatives at the Smart Regions Conference on Wednesday, October 25th at BB&T Arena. Click here to learn more.
Nicollette Staton from the Office of Data and Performance Analytics will lead a hands-on workshop on CincyInsights – what's there, what's new and what's upcoming.
The panel session on autonomous transportation systems at the Ohio Conference on Freight - aptly labeled "Rise of the Robots" - considered current and expected impacts of technology on "human" employment and future workforce needs.
This past week Smart Cincy partners, Venture Smarter and the University of Cincinnati (UC), were joined by representatives from Drive Ohio, the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC), and the Northeast Ohio Areawide Coordinating Agency (NOACA) for the Ohio Conference on Freight hosted by the Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments (OKI).
The City of Cincinnati is excited to announce the launch of 'OpenCincy,' a new user-friendly online tool developed to guide small business owners and prospective entrepreneurs through the process for opening or expanding operations in Cincinnati.
Smart911 is now available in Cincinnati. This system automatically sends additional crucial information to 911 call takers & 1st responders in emergency situations. However, you have to sign up to participate.
By 2030, the population in Cincinnati will have grown by 11%. A group of local leaders is focused on painting a picture for a more efficient and resilient future by proposing the development of 2030 Districts downtown, and eventually, across the region so that Cincinnati is well positioned for future growth.
Is the Greater Cincinnati region prepared to respond to a changing climate? How are other cities making sure they are resilient in the face of extreme weather events? On June 15, at the 4th annual Midwest Regional Sustainability Summit, 350 attendees explored how local municipalities, businesses and peer regions are adapting to climate change and other environmental challenges.
Dr. Jiaqi Ma (University of Cincinnati), Mark Policinski (Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments), Jim Barna (DriveOhio), and Zack Huhn (Venture Smarter, Regional Smart Cities Initiative) joined WVXU in there latest "Cincinnati Edition" to discuss why Ohio could be a leader in autonomous vehicle technology and how advances in smart mobility could affect our daily lives.
CINCINNATI – An international consulting firm is in Cincinnati to begin collecting and analyzing data for a mobility study that aims to improve how all modes of transportation use the curb space along several of Downtown's busiest streets.
Building smart and connected communities must include efforts aimed at defeating the digital divide. In Avondale, a traditionally under-served neighborhood in Cincinnati, OH, a woman-owned business has started to 'light up' buildings to provide open and free WiFi to residents, students, and businesses across the neighborhood as a part of a dynamic public-private-partnership.

text: Let's talk about crop tops, shall we? It's easy to pass those things off as strictly for 17 year-olds or Coachella (or 17-year-olds at Coachella), but believe it or not, there's a more sophisticated identity for this style. No need to bare your belly. Pick one that's a little boxier and more structured and layer it over a silky tank. Beyond that, the sky's the limit. You can pair a graphic print with a complementing solid, play with color blocking, or keep it minimal and monochromatic. It's actually easier than you might think AND makes you look like a styling pro. Plus it's a great new way to mix and match your tops and create new looks you never thought of before. Here are a few combos to get the ideas flowing. Try it!

Hi there everyone, thanks in advance for your thoughts. Those of you coming at this from the thread 'fighting fire in microgravity' will know that my current (much, much, stalled) project is a document to help authors who want to write some (just some!) realistic physics into their science fiction. I do this in-person for a few authors already as I've got good qualifications in physics and space technology, and my day job is a physics tutor.
Based on previous feedback I've put up parts of chapter 2 here: The factsheet and a sample of the science section. The full chapter contains more detail on how super nova happen, a 'what does this mean for a writer' section that focusses more on descriptions and experiences, and a list of the sources I've used. I'm looking for any and all feedback, and if anyone wants to see more of a section, or the sources list, feel free to PM me.
Many thanks again!
1.2: What's a supernova's blast radius?
- Supernova candidates are easy to spot but unpredictable. They come in different types, but by far the most common are:
- The corpse of a star that steals fuel from a living companion, reignites itself, and then becomes unstable and explodes (Type 1a).
- A 'classic' big, old, star that becomes unstable due to age and explodes (Type 2).
- Type 2 supernova give off a massive pulse of subatomic particles called neutrinos about 3 hours before they blow. Type 1a are less well understood.
- A supernova fireball is full of rapidly decaying radioactive elements – so it actually keeps getting hotter for weeks after the explosion. It expands at around 10% of lightspeed (30,000 km / sec.
- An Earth like planet would be reduced to a cinder and thrown into interstellar space, even if it were thousands of times further from its star than Earth is from the Sun. Further out…
- At 2 to 5 light years: A bright blue point of light appears in the sky, growing to sun-like brightness over 14 to 30 days. Effects include increased surface temperatures, wildfires, extreme weather, melting of ice caps, lethal radiation levels, total ozone layer loss, and chemical changes to the atmosphere.
- At 20 to 50 light years: The blue light outshines a full moon a thousand times. Radiation levels cause cancers, sterility, birth defects, massive ozone layer loss ( 50% +) , high altitude nitrous oxide smog, increased cloud cover, loss of satellite networks, and lethal radiation dose to astronauts. Other possible effects include an worldwide lightning storms and dementia in humans and animals.
- At 100 to 250 light years: The blue light is comparable to full moon, and radiation causes a measurable spike in cancer and birth defect rates. Other effects include satellite disruption similar to the worst solar storms, increased frequency of lightning strikes, erratic behaviour and memory loss in mammals, and disruption to circadian rhythms.
- A world within 20 light years of the supernova may be engulfed in the expanding cloud of radioactive debris. This will cause more long term effects, including global cooling and an increase in background radiation levels.
The Science:
'What's the lethal range of a supernova' isn't such a simple question, for a few reasons. The main one is that 'supernova' is a term covering a bunch of different kinds of explosions that have one thing in common: Unimaginable size and power….
[the first few paragraphs give a rough run down of how the two most common types of supernova occur, and there's a list and descriptions of the rarer, exotic, types like hypernova at the end of the chapter]
….that's what supernova are. But just how far do you need to run to survive?
Thousands of times further away than the Sun from Earth:
This is a good range to start with since, because they are so much bigger and hotter, it's the kind of distance the habitable zone of a supernova candidate star will be at – although such stars are notoriously badly behaved, so how habitable that would be to humans is debateable. In any case, despite all that extra distance, a planet in the habitable zone would suffer what astrophysicists refer to as 'massive physical damage' . In other words: Its surface would be heated until the rock vaporised, then it's new evaporated rock atmosphere would get stripped away by pummelling by waves of plasma, peeling the planet.
Think a big gobstopper getting the full blast of a flamethrower.
A much shrunken remnant might be left, depending on the specifics of the blast, but for all practical purposes the planet joins Alderaan in the planetary afterlife. Without the gravity of the destroyed central star any remains would drift into interstellar space – so weeks of nuclear fire would be followed by cosmic night and eternal cold.
One to five light years:
With a light year (for reference, one light year is roughly 63000 times the Earth-Sun distance) of range the planet should survive – as in 'the rocks won't actually melt underfoot'. But even with a two light year gap that's about as good as the good news gets – the immediate effects of a supernova at that distance are described in the literature as 'sterilising': Starting as a purple-blue pinpoint, many times brighter than a full moon, it might take over three weeks to hit its peak, Sun-like, levels of brightness. But the majority of the supernova's energy isn't in heat and light but high energy gamma rays, X rays, and high speed sub atomic particles. As the intensity of the blue point grows, the high energy gamma rays would turn the ozone layer into a worldwide smog of nitrous oxide. Truly zero ozone means severe sunburn after 10 minutes of exposure, and if sunburn doesn't sound so bad, know that we are talking a true 'clinically severe' sunburn: Blisters covering large areas, excruciating pain, swelling (especially the face and lips), a blinding headache, dizziness, confusion, disorientation, fever and chills, nausea, vomiting, and dehydration.
Surface radiation levels will rise until standing outside would be the equivalent, radiation dosage wise, of being within a mile of a 10 kiloton nuke - and this would go on for weeks. At its peak standing under the supernova light would mean burns, cancer, sterility, and birth defects. Exactly how much hotter, in the degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit sense, the surface would get depends on exact range and size of the blast – but, given that current climate change fears are based on an overall temperature increase of less than 7 degrees Celsius, imagine the effects of a worldwide 20% temperature increase that lasted for months: Wildfires, and melting of ice caps, massive changes to weather patterns and ocean currents would be the tip of the melting iceberg. Those are major immediate effects*.
This doesn't end with the immediate effects.
Once the supernova has faded there would be a new feature in the sky, above the clouds of smog: Where once there was the brightest, bluest star in the sky would be a nebula - a cloud of superheated plasma and radioisotope bearing dust, expanding at around 10% of light speed. It'd take decades or even centuries to engulf a nearby world, but when it did… Well, an Earth like planet is protected from the natural space radiation by two magnetic fields: Its sun's, which extends well beyond Pluto in our solar system, and its own smaller but more intense one. As the nebula engulfed a luckless solar system it would collapse the sun's bubble, exposing a planet in the habitable zone to both the radiation of space and the radiation of the cloud itself. Food chains would collapse as radiation-vulnerable species die off, and the cloud, which is mainly ionised hydrogen and helium, mixes with the upper atmosphere to produce water vapour. The influx of water vapour would build, increasing cloud cover – an effect compounded by interstellar radiation, which has been shown to trigger excessive cloud formation - triggering an ice age. A 'nebula winter' as opposed to a nuclear one.
So, at one to five lightyears, your planet survives physically but faces environmental Armageddon - twice.
* There are more, but we'll meet those properly at longer ranges where they aren't be swamped by the direct effects.
Twenty to fifty light years:
Here the supernova's light will be 'only' a thousand of times brighter than a full moon, and sheer radiation levels aren't enough to kill - but their secondary effects can: The planet's ozone layer will be skinned like a grape in a sandstorm, until being outside during the day would mean severe sunburn within twenty minutes. UV sensitive organisms, especially the ocean algae and plankton that form the base of many food chains, would be devastated, causing a ripple effect of starvation. There would be stranger effects as well, including massive lightning storms: High energy particles…

All of my Mac user friends and employees say the same thing whenever they talk about why they buy only Apple products. Stop me if you've heard, "At least they don't get viruses" before.
According to a FireEye Labs report, however, hackers believe that a high-caliber Windows virus is powerful enough to port over to OS X. The main reason Macs "don't" get viruses is that hacker strategies have almost always meant that they'd cast the widest possible malware net.
Alert: The iPhone's popularity made it the target of a dangerous ransomware attack. Click here to find out what this means for you.
As we've been learning recently, hackers aren't quite super-geniuses. Malware programmers didn't take into account that Apple, according to ZDNet, takes up over half of the enterprise-level computer market.
That's what makes the OSX.XSLCmd virus so dangerous. If a hacker manages to get a virus like this onto just one major business or organization's server, they could do any number of terrifying things.
Screensharing, keyloggers, data transfer and the ability to install other programs are just some of OSX.XSLCmd's capabilities. As it stands, there are no anti-virus programs that detect this virus.
See also: Check to see if a keylogger is already installed on your computer.
All you really have to do to stay safe is to always be sure where your downloads are coming from and never trust a strange email. If you run or work at a small business with Macs, you should definitely tell your information technology specialist about this threat.

|The Perspective of Prophecy (Ideas #69)
When teaching about many of the personalities in Tanakh, I often tell my students that Moshe is probably the most difficult to comprehend. His spirituality was so far removed from anything that we know, that it is very difficult to have insight into this unique giant. Moreover, Moshe's character was quite paradoxical: The Torah tells us that he was greater than anyone else in prophecy, as well as in modesty. While we understand that all Jews need to be modest, it may seem strange that the greatest man to walk the face of the earth could also be the most modest.

Chemistry at Work:
An article I wrote about being involved in the local STEM project in Cornwall promoting that science is everywhere. I wanted to bring together the impact of art and science and how there are pathological pathways affected by inhaling essential oils; neurochemistry at its most fun!
Here''s what a reader said: "I'd just like to say I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the latest edition of International Therapist [...] I also felt very inspired to read the article about introducing essential oils to schoolchildren within a Chemistry class. How creative, interactive and educational!"

Love the excessive oil for long term storage. Most companies don't and can spot rust. This knife is gorgeous and flawless. Uneven edge but who doesn't put a fresh edge on a new blade when they get it. Perfect buy and love it.
First off, beware of the extreme excessive use of oil! Have gloves (if you're afraid of getting messy) and paper towels ready when you unpack this knife. Oil will literally drip out of the packaging! Was that REALLY necessary? I mean, the knife is literally dripping oil! I understand the need to oil a knife, but... seems excessive. As another reviewer mentioned, this knife is not without a few blemishes. I wouldn't expect scratches out of the box. The company needs to work on how they treat these knives on the assembly line, before packaging. At a higher price point, I would expect them to be scratch-free. Once the dripping stopped, I was able to admire the beauty of this knife. Sharpening could have been better (more even, lack of nicks, etc.), but this seems to be one of the better jobs from this brand. This will be a display knife, but may see occasional use. My trusty ol' Buck 110 gets the abuse.
I got this beauty in a mystery bag. No idea why I got so lucky but it is my favorite pocket knife now. I am a 6' 4" 245lb man so it's large size is perfect for me. Call it the pocket knife for the big and tall gentleman. It feels and looks like the type of knife one should pass down in the family, heirloom style. The only problem with this knife is I know it would be super useful but it's too pretty for me to bring myself to beat it up. It's going to end up being the most utilitarian display piece in the world until I can afford another one haha. The picture is not camera tricks...it looks as good if not better in person.
I recently ordered this product for a wedding gift. Straight out of the box I noticed the left side of the knife had quite a few blemishes, but It did not stop there after I cleaned it up I noticed spots of rust and the lock on the blade did not work. Although the knife was a beautiful wonderfully crafted piece with a great weight and feel. I am sad to rate this knife so low.
I really like this knife because it is beautiful and well made. I'm no expert but the sheath seems to me to be well made too. The item is just as described and the file work was well done. I like that this knife is in between fit from my smaller pocket knife and my hunting knife. It's large enough to be a good defense weapon and for those interested came very sharp. First time carrying this I opted to carry it in my pocket as opposed to the sheath for concealment and it was not intrusive. Highly recommended.

No Boys Allowed...It's Galentine's Day!
While couples are pondering what to get their loved ones this Valentine's Day, I happened to realize that the holiday lands on a much more appreciated day in my book; Wine Wednesday. And, what's Wine Wednesday without the gals? Ditch the boys and start planning for Galentine's Day. This special day should be full of effortless treats, quality Rosé, and girl-power movies.
These DIY ideas are perfect for creating a girly ambiance with little effort. Get a simple white table cloth and black acrylic paint, and start brushing "XO"'s everywhere, or you could even use a white bed sheet and a thick permanent marker. They'll be plenty of flowers available, so pick up a bouquet and throw some petals around the table, but keeping enough flowers for each of your girls to take home! Finally, grab some white balloons with your best shade of lipstick, and kiss those suckers goodbye.
Pair the delivery pizza with your favorite bottle of Rosé, and keep it flowing. For dessert, fondue is a great option that creates variety for everyone at the party. Instead of breaking out the fondue set and creating a huge mess that you'll regret the next morning, a perfect alternative is Nutella. Pick up a jar of the hazelnut spread along with dipping items (strawberries, bananas, pound cake, pretzels, etc.) at the store. To wrap up the night, pull your best collection of chick-flicks out and enjoy the girl talk.
Happy Galentine's Day to all you beautiful ladies!

Coconut oil - enough to just lightly coat the bottom of a large frying pan
2 plantains, peeled and sliced into 1/4-1/2 inch rounds (the thinner the better and closer to a crispy potato chip)
Celtic sea salt or himalayan salt, to taste
Optional - dash of allspice
Heat pan over medium low and add oil.
Place plantains flat in one even layer in the pan, and cook until golden brown before flipping to other side.
Flip and cook another 3 minutes until golden brown.
Transfer to a plate and serve warm.

Coloured diamonds break staggering auction records!
A set of diamond earrings can finish an outfit flawlessly but they can be significantly more|much more|a lot
more expensive than you can envision. Jewellers and online pawnbrokers, preserve a keen eye on auction
data from their posh pawnbrokers store in London. Experts cites 2017 as a robust year for diamond earrings.
Two pairs fetched £57 million at Sotheby's, with the 'Apollo Blue' taking £42 million and the 'Artemis Pink'
earning £15 million. Set to be auctioned individually, the pear-shaped earrings had been the two offered to a
single, anonymous purchaser. The Apollo Blue is 14.54-carats of blue diamond, although the Artemis Pink is a
sixteen-carat pink diamond.
'It's fascinating to see', stated a local expert, 'but the thirst for colour diamonds is as powerful as ever – and
this translates effectively in the pawnbroking sector as well. Pawnbroking indicates that we maintain our finger
on the pulse of the trends and fashions in the wider world so that we can comprehend the higher figures that
diamond earrings can fetch, with additional extra interest in coloured diamonds.'
The most costly diamond ever offered at auction was the £71. million of the "Pink Star" diamond in 2017, with
the prior record held by the Miroir de l'Amour earrings which were offered up in 2016 for £17 million.
Include a splash of colour and you instant add value
Diamond set earrings can be spectacular in their simplicity, matching each and every outfit and event.
Nevertheless, incorporating a pop of colour with a ruby or sapphire set inside of can transform a pair of
diamond earrings into a family members heirloom to be passed down from generation to generation.
London pawnbrokers and jewellers, have several years of encounter in dealing with diamond earrings and
coloured gemstones.
The pawnbroker homies at a secrete location somewhere in the United Kingdom value and enjoy particular
stones of colour which entice individuals with various skin tones and hair colour, with emerald and ruby
operating nicely for redheads or brunettes, with sapphires operating effectively for blondes, but the crew know
the worth of gems so effectively, that they are in a position to highlight other much less effectively identified
factors of the stones.
Sapphire is a single of the hardest organic gemstones and is 2nd only to diamond in hardness and have a
wealthy historical past. Legend suggests that the tablets containing the 10 Commandments have been
composed of sapphire and have been so robust that, if a hammer have been to be swung towards them, the
hammer would shatter. Ancient Persians believed that the earth rested on a giant sapphire and its reflection
coloured the sky, although it's nevertheless believed that sapphires impart healing and calming properties.
Considered to symbolise excellent fortune, virtue, wisdom and holiness, sincerity and faithfulness, sapphires
make an outstanding option for an engagement ring but earrings are usually exchanged as the standard
wedding ceremony anniversary present for a couple's 5th and 45th 12 months.
Typically blue, sapphire can be identified in other colours. A red sapphire is even now acknowledged as a
sapphire! Sapphires are extremely rare and pricey so cutters are much more possible to form them into ovals
or cushions, to guarantee most of the stone is preserved, rather of smoothed off as in a round reduce.
Rubies are equally as rare and difficult, precious as sapphires and are most typically round minimize to avoid
needless wastage. Rubies have been identified in ancient instances as the "the king of gems" and mentioned
to inside of some cultures – to signify of the sun. Symbolising integrity, devotion, happiness, healing, courage,
romance, generosity, inspiration, and prosperity. It's possibly no shock that warriors implanted rubies beneath
their skin to deliver power in battle. As minor much less intense, rubies are even now worn as a talisman to
warn its proprietor towards danger and catastrophe.
Used in coronation rings for English monarchs, their red aura tends to make them appears greater than they
really are. Scarcest of all gems, they command incredibly large, substantial costs.

Everyone is saying those paparazzi shots with Taylor Swift and new boyfriend Tom Hiddleston are meticulously orchestrated, but I'll tell you what definitely isn't: Tom Hiddleston's interview answers about his lady friend.
While taking a jog in Australia, Tom was ambushed by Australian news stations who hit him with questions about his relationship with Fourth of July's biggest fan. His answers were... definitely not rehearsed:
He's so proper and kind and... awkward. It's clear Tom isn't used to a life where cameras wait outside his hotel room all night to get a shot.

Since film came into existence in the late 19th century, it has often been compared to the more traditional art form theater. The connection made between the two media is not without reason; they have similar styles of storytelling and exhibition. In fact, some of the earliest films "were exhibited in theatrical houses and, a short while later, as "acts" within vaudeville bills" (Knopf 1). Despite the correlations, these two art forms are essentially different.
According to Walter Benjamin the crucial variance involves the 'aura' of the work.
The aura, as Benjamin defines it, represents the authenticity of a work. An original work of art, such as a painting, is able to possess and aura, while "even the most perfect reproduction of a work of art is lacking in one element: its presence in time and space, its unique existence at the place where it happens to be" (Benjamin 220). When attending a play, the audience experiences something one of a kind. Once it has ended, it is over. The actors will never be able to perform exactly the same way again. A filmgoer, however, can relive their favorite movie time and time again. Any change in experience will be a cause of the viewer not the subject.
If the theory of the 'aura' is accepted a legitimate difference between film and theater a question arises: what is the significance of the aura? It could be construed that film's lack thereof makes it a less legitimate form of art; however, though this is an interesting point, it is not entirely the intention of the division. Mechanical production changes the way art is viewed. It is the way in which audiences perceive film that is fundamentally different than theater. Reproduction removes the possibility of a unique experience, but allows the possibility of a mass experience. While there is an incredibly successful commercial film industry, this widespread distribution is not possible with theater.

Edward Steichen was one of the most regarded photographers of his time. He made some of the first modern fashion photographs.
A lesser-known project of his is a series of images he worked on for a couple nights.
These photographs (Three Views of Balzac) from 1908 were some of the first made with moonlight as the only light source.
More than a hundred years have passed, and they are still powerful, captivating images.
Keep in mind that there was no way to meter a scene like this by then -he had to play with different exposure times. He had an idea in mind, though, and he executed it to create art that hadn't been seen before.
Simply beautiful and inspiring.

Drones are here. And they're about to impact many sectors of business, so it behooves you to pause and think about whether your business or industry will be affected.
There's a buzz and a focus on drones as we head into 2016. Just yesterday, the FAA moved to require permits for all drones, 1 to 20 pounds. This ruling comes on the heels of an increasing number of drone accidents that interfere in the airspace of large aircraft, engendering a lot more questions than answers.

Belly-Of-The-Beast Wookdom
The Huntertones feature the cream of the crop of young jazz musicians in the United States. Seriously. These dudes flourished at hyper-competitive music nerd bootcamps like the University of North Texas and Berklee College of Music, moved to New York and proceeded, with Godzilla-like undeniability, to gobble up every high profile gig in the five boroughs. Uniformed in leather jackets and skinny jeans, my pals are just as comfortable flying note-for-note through Coltrane solos are they are sight reading Stravinsky. They are, in a word, badass.
Which is why it brought me so much joy watching them interact with lunatic wookies, old hippies and hula-hoop girls at a 420 festival in Eugene, Oregon. If there's an environment more un-Williamsburg, I don't know what it is. When a mutton-chopped, patchouli-drenched degenerate with a rope for a belt noodle dances six inches from your face during load out, well, there're only so many who can greet that scenario with a smile. "Hey bro, I feel your light moving through me" and "you blessed me most righteously with your mana" is unusual feedback when most of your shows are attended by similarly leather-jacketed people staring at their phones. I gotta say, my chums handled it admirably.
Kudos to the Huntertones! You survived belly-of-the-beast wookdom, which is no joke. Portland tonight, Seattle tomorrow. This is an amazing show, definitely an inspiration to practice when I get back to Music City.

Whitley Bay June 17th
It was the sprinters and jumpers who were to the fore for Tynedale Harriers in the final round of the National Young Athletes League Division 2 North East track and field fixtures at Whitley Bay on June 17th.
For the U15 boys there were impressive victories for Joe Hughes in the longer sprints over 200m and 300m. Bryn Mordey and Jack Colmer also scored multiple victories, Bryn in the 100m and long jump and Jack with a hat-trick in the 100m, long jump and high jump. The U15 boys' team were also convincing winners in the 4 x 100m sprint relay. Over hurdles both Don Bennet and Max Mcleod were victorious in the U13 75m events whilst Eleanor Colmer (U13) and Chloe Simpson (U15) both gained maximum points in their respective long jump competitions.
In the U15 girls' events Ellie Franks had a victory over 200m whilst team-mate Megan Daniels was busy with a trio of second places in the 200m, shot putt and discus. Chloe Williams was also on form with personal bests in the high jump and shot putt. For the U13s there were second places for Louis Domingue and Max Mcleod in the short sprints and Imogen Bell in the shot putt whilst Alex Cowell impressed in the long and high jumps.
The distance runners made up for a lack of numbers with dominant individual performances. Jonny Currie set a new personal best in the U17 1500m, leading form gun to tape to win by half a lap whilst Max Pearson was equally commanding in the U13 event and Katie Holmes battled for a hard earned 3rd place in the U13 girls 1200m.
An enjoyable day ended with the team in 5th place overall and there will be much to look forward to in the forthcoming club championships.

The city of Seattle (yes, the same city that cannot run a business as complicated as a downtown parking lot) is trying to convert the family outing event into a business profit center for the city. Parking fees are outrageously high. Street parking is blocked off so people are forced into parking lots that are far from the lake. There is no pack mule or jitney service available for carting folding chairs, coolers, picnic baskets, kids toys, radios, flotation devices, etc. One must make several long trips back and forth to get their stuff to the lake. Roads are closed off well in advance, and overnight camping is no longer allowed. Then the beach is fenced off so the city can charge admission, too. The city has ruined my Seafair race experience, and I will not attend anymore. It looks like many people share my thoughts. The city needs to look in the mirror to see the cause of the dropping attendance. Ted Grimes, Seattle Comments | More in Seattle | Topics: family, hydro races, money

Rumble in the Bronx
It begins very similarly to Death Wish III; the kung fu sequences are exceedingly well done, and the gags are often so well filmed as to be almost overlooked, so easy are they made to appear. The hovercraft finale starts out like Thunderball and rises to the height of absolute lunacy, and goes on from there.
First Strike
This is patently an homage to Thunderball and the Bond films in general, but in a language of its own as surreal and direct as Harold Lloyd's in Safety Last, for instance.
Nuclear weaponry is missing from the Russian stockpile, thieves lead a merry chase. Tong opens with an effective montage of Hong Kong, moves to Moscow (official buildings) and the Ukraine (city and ski resort), finally to Queensland.
And these adventures have a turn visibly played from Lloyd on vertical space as the measure of status or position, relative to the hero's ups and downs from high-rise to lowlife, the girl is whisked away sitting atop a glass elevator, she feeds sharks at the Oceanarium. The ultimate expression in this context is perhaps an obscure citation (also in Van Damme's The Quest even more explicitly) of Borzage's Man's Castle (Spencer Tracy on stilts). So the policeman trails the worldwide path of crime and finds it overarching in a way that makes for gags like the battle in which the hero's weapon is a ladder.
As comedy, this is studied to perfection. The genius of it is something else again.
Mr. Magoo
The hero is a purblind museum benefactor, the villain is an artist. This constitutes a satire of the neo-Disney position expounded by Eisner. The final cartoon, just before the end credits, is "the real Magoo," as he says somewhere else.
The infamous notice disclaiming any intention of belittling the nearsighted recalls the disaster at the Ahmanson Theater when John Osborne's A Patriot for Me was presented there, without the character of the psychiatrist but with notices in the lobby disavowing anti-Semitic remarks in the text and, taped to the front of the bar, warning patrons of the Government's disapproval of alcohol consumption.
Patrons stayed away en masse. Tong's film revolves around a ruby on exhibit, stolen and put in Magoo's hands inadvertently, i.e., the museum benefactor doesn't know he has a priceless gem.
A small joke to flesh out the hijinks has Magoo's bulldog wake from its human bed and urinate standing up on its hind legs in the bathroom behind a screen. This is Oldenburg's crack on Disney's sanitized animals, placed here with saintly regard for its triviality where no-one is likely to see or get it, mildly tweaking the studio's nose for this usurpation of work done famously by its rival, UPA.
High bid for the gem goes to a murderous Brazilian mobster named Peru, a gift for his bride. The $15,000,000 is placed in layers of clothing on a gunsel, who strips them off one by one down to his underpants. Magoo in bridal costume goes over the falls in a rubber raft quite the antithesis of Jeff Koons' bronze version, and signs his autograph on the cover of a book about the successful case without leaving any signature, it need hardly be mentioned.

Running Through the Community: The Little Rock Marathon
It could be a new trail, a dog park, a kid's playground, or maybe even helping to find a cure. And when you lace up those shoes and enter that race, you may be having a much bigger positive impact on your community… simply by running a race. We wanted to share some of those impacts – a few you may not expect! So over the next year, you'll be introduced a little of the "back story" on some pretty familiar races.
So set a goal, Sign up for a race. And look at our community soar.
Since the Little Rock Marathon is right around the corner, we caught up with one of the Chicks in Charge – Gina Marchese, and she had some fun things to share! Read on… and don't forget to join in the race on March 3rd and 4th!

The Little Rock Marathon benefits Little Rock Parks, but what does that mean exactly for our running and walking community?
The Little Rock Marathon produced our first race in May 2003, and has contributed over 1 million dollars into our parks system, helped build an amazing, growing running community through free training, and annually provides about a 5 million dollar economic impact on Central Arkansas. Whew. So Thank you for running!!
Tell us about one of your favorite projects that has made a difference for the running community.
A little know face, is that we were part of the original group of communities that starting Global Running day in connection with New York Road Runners. It began as 'National Running Day' and then it caught on globally. We love being part of this and proud Go! Running is there, too.
The LRM Medal is famous… Tell us how it all began!
We started off with a standard size medal. Geneva and I ran another race in Texas and Geneva did the marathon and I did the half marathon. We got the same medal except for the wording, and we both looked at each other and said, "we can't let that happen at our race." So we got on the phone and changed our medals the very next day. We chose to GO BIG in Little Rock. As the years went on, (Geneva designs our medal and I am her focus group), we just kept enlarging the size to where we now have the distinction of having the largest finisher's medal (that we know of). Runners World endorsed it. Thank you Bart Yasso!
Adding the LIPS!
At our 10th year, we added lips! I have a lip fetish, all kinds of lip stuff, so Geneva put it on the medal and we cracked up and have stuck with it ever since. We call it our race director's kiss to all our finishers!
When did you decide to do a Medal Unveiling?
Oh, the early days of YouTube. We decided to unveil our medal and have a little fun with it, so we decided to do the unveiling at a press conference. The very day of first unveiling, Little Rock had an ice storm and the city was in lock down – so NO press conference, of course! But Geneva and I made it to the office and were determine to do something so we did a video on our phones, Kevin Clay (our video guru) uploaded it to YouTube, our video went viral and the rest is history as we say! We now do everything on social media. We say we put the FUN back into the medals. Now people run for the medals and we love that and do just the same. This year's is lots of fun… and sealed with a kiss. Wishing you all the best of luck and lots of fun along the way. Come join us.
Be Safe, Be Seen, and Brighten up the Night
The weather is getting cooler, which means Fall is upon us and it's just the best time of year to get out and run. THIS SUNDAY November 5th is the daylight savings time change… – "Fall Back". That means it will get darker earlier in the evening and will still be dark in the morning, too! As runners, we need to be thinking about Fall Safety. Our motto year 'round, but especially for fall is 'Be Safe & Be Seen'. And, there are an array of things you can do. Outside of wearing reflective gear (shoes and apparel), you can find other sources to help you "light up the night". Headlamps and other lights and true reflective night apparel (vests/shirts) are truly a must. Drivers are more distracted than ever – so protect yourself!
All week long at the store we will have "Light Up" specials – up to 20% off your favorite "be safe/be seen" products.
The Go! Breakfast Club
The Go! Breakfast Club –
It's the end of a long run; sweat pouring, feet pounding, and stomach growling. Your body says you're finished, but your appetite is just revving up.
Since September is Better Breakfast Month, we asked a few of our family of runners to share their favorite post run breakfast or recovery meal – something that gets them through and/or what they treat themselves to.
Here's what they had to say:
"I like to make a recovery breakfast: omelet with lots of chopped onions, peppers and mushrooms and sometimes feta cheese." – Lisa Mullis
"After a long run I immediately crave a good Pale Ale or IPA. When we run downtown we all like the Sausage, egg and pepper jack on an everything bagel at Andina's Coffee Shop on 3rd St. My next go-to is an omelet and pancakes from either IHOP or Cracker Barrel. Then when we run from the heights I like the b-fast pizza at US Pizza brunch with a Bloody Mary." – Chris Ho
"One of my favorite breakfasts after a good run is a slice of gluten free, Salba Chia sandwich thin (toasted) with avocado smashed on it, and topped with a slice of tomato, a few leaves of spinach, and the tofu breakfast strips from the no meat athlete cookbook. As a vegan, I love that I get a good bit of protein to help rebuild my muscles with no animal byproducts or meat. I like to bake enough tofu strips for a few days to be able to make it a fast breakfast." – Andi Stracner
"My favorite post-run breakfast is scrambled eggs with avocado and a big cold glass of 2% milk. And when the need strikes, I add wheat toast. Yum." – Monica Ritchie
"A killer long run for me is a fast, hilly 30 mile run in the National Forest. Because of the distance to get there I have to be creative in finding things I can carry in my cooler that won't spoil before I get finished. I try to ensure that I have a good source of protein and healthy carbs. Usually that is a wrap with avocado, lettuce, tomato, and a chickpea burger with fruit on the side or a quinoa salad either homemade or purchased from a specialty grocer and a good craft beer. My theory is that I can splurge on a little junk food after a long run but I typically don't because I honestly enjoy the healthier stuff. Every now and then I do crave a cheeseburger and I almost always indulge when the mood strikes." – Stacey Shaver-Matson
What is your favorite post-run meal? We know something just popped into your mind. So share it! We'd love to hear from you. Drop a comment below or on Facebook.
Go! Running with Meghan Lewis
If you are a part of the Little Rock running community, or have been to one of our Thursday night runs or Sunday trail runs, you have probably met Meghan Lewis. As soon as we met Meghan back in 2010, we knew we had to hire her to be on the Go! Team. Now she is the Manager of our little community running store and we wouldn't have it any other way. We sat down with Meghan to ask her about her life in Little Rock and at Go!
Why did you start running?
I started running when I was 25. I grew up doing all sorts of outdoors activities with my family so being outside running just seems natural for me. And, at the time, it was a great way to take my mind off of things and de-stress. I really fell in love with running a couple of years later when I started trail running. I love hanging out in the woods, so running the trails is even better.
What brought you to Little Rock?
Before I came to Little Rock, I had just found out I was pregnant. My husband Nick and I were living in Oregon at the time, but we wanted to move to be a little closer to family in Memphis. A friend of Nick's worked at a cycling company here in town and had a job available, so we chose Little Rock.
Tell us a little about running Go! Running (pun intended!)
When we moved to Little Rock, I knew I wanted to get a job at one of the running stores since I love to run. I heard about Go!, so I took my resume in and Erin called me that night to set up an interview. When I met Erin and Gary, we instantly clicked and I fell in love with them and the store. So I got the job! Gary and Erin are one of my favorite things about working at Go! And, I just love sharing running with other people in our community. I love my job.
How did you meet your husband?
We actually met through running! I was going to the University of Memphis getting my Bachelors in Fine Arts and met Nick through trail running. Our first date was a midnight run and then we went camping. Now, we have a 6 year old daughter, Nour.
What do you and your family like to do together?
We are an outdoorsy family. We run together and like going camping, going out for walks, hiking, canoeing, going to the trails, kayaking, or just anything outdoors. Nour and I also like to take photographs, garden, and paint together too.
What was your best run ever?
I truly do love running and I like to run whenever I get the time. In the heat, the snow, whenever! Every race is a different experience and a great way to explore different parts of the country.
What do you love MOST about running?
I don't know how to describe it. Running began as something that was just mine, just for me, and a way to get away, decompress and de-stress. Running is just a part of me and who I am.
If you would like to meet Meghan, we invite you to stop by the store to chat with her. We welcome runners and walkers from all paces and walks of life. Come and be part of our running/walking community. Remember, every run begins with Go!
It's a Full mOOn in the Ouachita National Forest
This Saturday is the 25th anniversary of the Full mOOn 50 & 25k, which is a race and as well as a celebration. The race is set on forest service roads in the Ouachita National Forest and the proceeds go to a good cause. "It's easy to see why the Full mOOn is known as a good time that runners of all abilities look forward to all year," said Gary Taylor, a many time Full mOOn finisher." Starting in late in the evening, the balmy(!) weather, Susy's unique pre-race instructions, running through the woods at night, and ending in a sudden oasis of light, music, food, and friends all makes this a run to remember. I love this race."
The Best Night Run of the Year!
First of all, this race is no frills, fun and funky with an all night afterparty until 4 a.m. If you haven't been to a night race with blaring music and disco balls, then you're missing out on a really good time. The Full mOOn also brings it with food and drinks. Each aide station is like a golden corral buffet with water, gatorade, sodas, sandwiches, and even ice to put in your shirt or your bra when it's 95 degrees outside. They bring in 300 lbs of ice just for the event! And, at the finish line, you will find a giant after party where there are people cheering you on at the finish line, music blasting, people dancing, and to top that, the Williams Junction Volunteer Fire Department fixes breakfast like bacon, eggs, hash browns, coffee, and pancakes until 4 a.m.

Rocking Aide Stations
One of the best points of this race are the aide stations. According to race director, Susy Chandler, "It's dark, hot, humid, and hilly as hell when you're running then all the sudden you see disco balls and the aide station, which is a lot of fun and a bit of a relief!" Here, they have everything you need! Water, food, and aides to help with anything you need. Each aide station is staffed by an ultra runner who knows everything about running. If something is wrong, they will help you fix it. Susy also mentioned she loves how the trail race community is full of people who want to help. They want everyone to make it to the finish line, no matter what.
You won't get lost, promise!
Are you wondering how they keep up with all the people running around the forest in the dark? 6 words sum it up: The Faulkner County Amateur Radio Club. The club mans the race and checks in at the aide stations to keep track of runners. They track all runners at three different points to make sure nobody gets lost in the woods. They can also radio back for help if they find anyone who is in trouble or can't make it to the finish. To add to that, Go! Running puts the trail map on the bibs so everyone knows where to go. If you haven't crossed the finish line by 4 a.m., a course sweeper will bring you back to the finish line.
Blind and Visually Impaired Division
We also asked what she's most proud of about the race. Susy told us she is proud that the Full mOOn has a BVI division for Blind and visually impaired runners, which you don't see a lot of in the running world. There are 3 runners in this year's race in this division. How does this work? It's easy! Each runner is assisted by a guide who tells them about the best place in the road to run and when another runner is ahead or approaching. This is such a wonderful thing! Special thanks to all the runner partners!
Sleep in on Saturday
We hope to see you Saturday at 7 for the race (be sure to sleep in as late as you can)! Registration is closed for this year's event, but there are still volunteer opportunities available. If you need volunteer hours to get into a race or ultra miles for the UTS series, it's not too late to sign up. Or, if you're just ultra-curious or have friends and family that will be at the event, come party with us! You can visit the volunteer page or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Stick around for the Afterparty
One of the best parts of the race is the afterparty. And, with restrooms and showers on site, there is no reason not to stick around. Susy said one of her favorite parts of the race is at 2 a.m. where most of the 25k runners are finished and we're still waiting on some 50k runners to finish. It seems like is a sea of sweaty runners, out in the middle of the forest, talking, eating, and sharing running war stories. And the talking is interrupted suddenly with an outburst of cheers when a runner comes across the finish line.
You don't want to miss this race, even if you aren't signed up. And if you are, Susy said to be sure to bring salt, a water bottle, and bug spray. And, if you don't want a blister in the middle of your forehead, bring a bandana too! Look for Stacey Shaver at the aide station and give her a high five!
1 Mile Road Race Celebrates "Lucky" Seventh Year

Fellow runners, friends, and families are encouraged to hang out and cheer on their favorite runners.
"Go! Mile running festival is not just for seasoned runners", explains Gary Taylor, Go! Mile Race Director and Go! Running owner. "We have something for everyone, and with seven different heats it's a race for the whole family – whether you're an experienced runner or brand new to the sport. In fact, we welcome and celebrate first-time runners with their very own heat – The CHI St. Vincent First Mile. The excitement explodes when the elite heat runs; it's rare that you get to see nationally ranked athletes run close to a 4- minute mile."

The Kid's Mini Mile – A fun run that celebrates and encourages fitness for kids 9 and under.

All finishers of the Mini Mile receive a special kid appropriate award.
7 Heats – Starting Every 20 Minutes
The Go! Mile is an exciting chip-timed, one-mile road race – rare on both points. This one-mile course provides runners with a fast and fun race experience.
