Wedding Registry

On 29 September 2012, Michelle Schoser and Ben Davis got married.

As a source of inspiration for wedding gifts Michelle and Ben created an online gift registry at Crate & Barrel. Their family and friends could choose among a wide variety of household items and order them instantly online.

Some of the less conventional items include an Italian Chrome pasta maker cranking out fresh homemade paste in minutes, an authentic Mexican molcajete handcarved of natural volcanic stone and a Cuisinart griddler with five separate cooking options handling everything from pancakes and sauces to steaks and burgers to grilled cheese and panini.

Nearly all their wishes seem to have been fulfilled. Hence, probably well worth paying a visit to Michelle and Ben around diner time.

Cooper run

The Cooper test is a test of physical fitness. It was designed by Kenneth H. Cooper in 1968 for US military use. The point of the test is to run as far as possible within 12 minutes. Hence, in contrast to other runs, the Cooper test fixes the time instead of the distance.

Jakob and Anton Schoser took part in a 12-minute Cooper run on 15 September 2012. They are both members of the Brussels Finnish Athletics Club 'Flying Finns' which regularly organises Cooper runs. Jakob ran a distance of 2525m while his younger brother Anton covered 2270m. In the case of Jakob, this was not even his best performance as he had managed to run 2610m one year earlier.
